US Open prediction game! Day 9

not all in the same page

Nishi, looking at the h2h overall and specially in the last years, doesnt stand a chance


so the final is djokovic (totally back to business) vs delpo or nadal (and either of them propbably exhausted)


if it is nole vs delpo, I think the argentinian has a chance , but if it is nole nadal, it is most probably the 14th for novak

h2h is 18-7 for nole on hardcourts and 7-0 since usopen2013


a great nadal could do it, but this is not a great nadal we are watching


of course, there is hope for nadal fans... but I quite not see it

Here's for a Delpo Nishi final!

It is so annoying - as long as Rafa is in the tournament I cannot freely root against Djokovic. 

Indeed..I actually prefer Nadal to Djokovic but of course at just 3 slams behind, I'm forced to root for Screech. The cruel irony. 

Can't go for Djoko, never.

Nishikori is a class A bottle job and failer. He kicks out good players and then wilts, dies, or retires.  

Del Potro has a great chance.  Djokovic should win it, though, cause it's  almost clay 2.

Normally Djokovic would start as a clear favourite against Rafa on a HC, but, the humidity could decide the outcome. It didn't seem to bother Rafa one bit (the guy has just the most incredible stamina and intensity I've ever seen) whereas Screech has struggled in every match with the heat and humidity.

Even Screech and his Lazarus act may not be enough if it becomes a long, physical match (when are they ever anything else when these 2 meet) under oppressive conditions.

nole exagerates a lot his tiredness I think

he is fit and he is the strongest guy around

Yep, he is a master actor and liar.

Checking the forecast for New York on Sunday, it will be 21 degrees and scattered showers. 26 degrees for the semis today, not too bad.

I will only support Nishi over Djoko if Delpo beats Nadal. Djoko is the safer bet here v Nadal.

Yup - that's me too.

I am counting eman, tenez, you and bb as being fully on the same page.  But now we can join Jahu and root for Nishi!
