Medvedev and Rublev advance
Explanation for some picks:
- Sinner seems to be a popular pick to even win it all because of his recent form, but I think he actually got a very tough group in terms of matchups and Rune will just barely edge him out to snatch the semifinal spot
- Rublev and Alcaraz hasn’t played before but Alcaraz’s issues dealing with pace/ballstriking on fast indoor courts this season makes me think there’s heavy upset potential here
- I made a lot of 7-5 or 7-6 sets because the courts are so fast and it’s hard to break a lot
you forgot Rublev d. Djokovic in semis and Rublev d. Medvedev in the final 🐐
Rublev gonna be defeated when he steps on the court if it’s novak probably
If Rublev plays like he played against Novak, he can take out Alcaraz. Ballbashers are a tough matchup for Alcaraz especially on quick courts.
Excited for Djoko-Sinner rr and Rune-Med semis
🤣
Novak Novak Novak Novak Novak
Just a wild guess, Rublev/Zverev and Djokovic/Rune advance into semifinals
No way this will be like this.
I agree with Rune advancing. He’s 6-2 v his group
Yeah Rublev not advancing he’s a ghosts in big matches
Looks reasonable. The only one that is a likely variable to me is who moves on between Rune and Sinner. Obviously anything can happen but your prediction seems to be one of the most likely.
