Didn't know you were the betting type Coup ;)

what happened - djoko seemed like he was heading out and then suddenly it ran away - was the italian injured...question mark - mine isnt working - ha

Djokovic Flag of Serbia v Berrettini Flag of Italy
Nadal Flag of Spain v Schwartzman Flag of Argentina
Medvedev Flag of Russia v Tsitsipas Flag of Greece
Zverev Flag of Germany v Davidovich-Fokina Flag of Spain

Strong last 8 line up- hard to not expect a djoko v Rafa semi at the top. My feeling in the bottom is Zverev v Medvedev - both are playing well and medvedev v Rafa is my final prediction now; but Rafa has this thing to lose really, cant see another winner

Yes, really strong QF line-up rankingswise with 7 players being in the top 10.

I reckon a Nadal vs Tsitsipas final.

 I hope for this final line up.  Zverev, may come though, but again, he may have a mental breakdown in the final, so Sissypas is a better challenge the Rafa. 

Can you do one with this sissy nickname? Wales1994 chap isnt the only gay man who lurks on these boards 

Its not even mildly amusing. Call him Greek Jesus if its the spelling youre struggling with.

The bottom half of the draw is turning into an ATP 250. I think Isner will take out Sissypas and Opelka will take out Medvedev. Let's hope Fognini comes out from the Bottom half and we have a Nadal vs Fog final.

 Is this a genuine misspelling or are you adding a slur to Tsitsipas' name?

 it's a slur,  this next gen are more obsessed with Instagram and love island then they are with training hard and winning, the reason why big 3 are still winning is more of a indictment on this new gen, then is of praise for the big 3. The big 3 have stopped taking masters 1000 seriously, allowing the door to be opened for them,  but they are miles away in best of 5 tennis, and are mentally weak.  Could you really see Lendl or Martina Nav, being mentally down and refusing to do media duties???  Not blaming Osaka, but the society that has created this. I have even seen odds over on MTF that she will appear as non-binary before Wimbledon.

How are slurs like this allowed on this board!? As an openly gay man, I find this pretty offensive. The word 'sissy' has been chucked around for many, many years to abuse gay or effeminate men and your use of it in an almost proud way is not acceptable. I've been on this board for a number of years, and really love it due to the vast tennis knowledge on here and the active debates. But time and time again I see your xenophobic, bigoted and just hateful messages, which really frustrates me and leaves a bitter taste in the mouth. Rant over, but I'd personally appreciate people avoiding using derogatory terms on this board.

 Happy to be educated, I acknowledged that the sissy means female like, and I use it in that way purely in descriptive manner.  It has no relation to any view on homosexuality, is purely on a visual sense. This is no longer the 1970s, gay men come in all types all across the spectrum, and I do not really associate them with  being more sissy like than hetrosexual men.  I'm just old enough to remember the back end of peter beardsley's club career, where it was common to call him the hunchback of notre dam, will this be banned now??

But what you also have to understand is that by calling me a bigot you lower yourself, very similar to the Gordon Brown incident all those years ago that pre-dated the cancel culture of today.
