I want Nadal to win his 21st title as well but my money's on Medvedev, would've put money on him even if Novax was competing.

I reckon Tsitsipas has got a shout as well.

Im the same. I just can’t see past medv winning it. I’d probably have him losing 1 or 2 sets in the rest of the tournament as well.

Shapovalov beat Zverev in straight sets last night so Nadal's draw just got a bit easier on paper.

Medv drops another set…

Five sets in Nadal's quarter final today. Think he would have preferred to have wrapped it up in three.

I'm very relieved he is through as I so want him to win this!

Berrettinni looked good in his last match. If he wins today, he will play Nadal in the semi-final. That could be an epic match!

Barty has looked incredible so far, absolutely destroyed every opponent she's faced and only dropped 2 games in her quarter final match.

Expected Nadal to make it through a bit easier against Shapovalov but Nadal five setters are always a good watch. He's got to be hoping Berrettini v Monfils goes five as well though.

two days rest until the semi on friday should give nadal a bit of time to recuperate.

agree. would love to see nadal win it but medvedev is looking very strong. can't rule out tsitsipas but can't seem him getting past medvedev

Berrettini vs Monfils in to the fifth, love Monfils so hope he progresses but he's already a break down.

Did you watch it? Was it a good match? I only saw a bit of the first two sets.

Good win for Berrettini

Auger-Aliassime vs Medvedev has started well

Ashish Doshi · 26 Jan 2022 at 09:57

good start from AA - an upset on the cards?

Pigeon_Killer · 26 Jan 2022 at 10:11

Hope not, can't stand FAA. Guy needs to be muzzled or served with a cease and desist order for noise pollution, I find him unbearable to watch.

Edit: FFA two sets up now, if Medvedev stages a come back and it goes to five, *****hispants must fancy his chances after playing so well in the other quarter.

i had medvedev as the favourite to win it. Agree that tsitsipas would be fave for the semi if FAA wins today. Probably good for Nadal too!
