Men's Draw:

Djokovic's Quarter:

Djokovic vs. Wawrinka 4th round: I hope this is good, but Wawrinka hasn't been reliable in several years. Djokovic in 3.

Djokovic vs. A. Zverev: Djokovic in 3.

Thiem's Quarter:

Dmitrov, Shapovalov, Auger-Aliassime, and Schwartzman are all in his quarter. I don't see Thiem needing 5 sets to beat any of them.

Thiem to the SF.

Medvedev's Quarter:

I don't know who comes out of here. I'll just pick Sam Querrey, for the surprise factor.

Nadal's Quarter:

Kevin Anderson and Tsitsipas are in this section. I don't think Nadal will struggle in too many matches.

Nadal to the SF.

Djokovic vs. Thiem SF: I'll pick Thiem in 4, just because he'll probably win at some point.

Querrey vs. Nadal SF: Nadal in 3.

Thiem vs. Nadal Finals: No idea. Could be any winner, any score. I'll pick Nadal in 3.

Women's Draw:

Barty's Quarter:

Karolina and Krystina Pliskova are both in this section. I'll pick Karolina to the SF.

Kenin's Quarter:

Azarenka vs. Svitolina 4th round: Azarenka in 3.

Azarenka vs Kenin QF: Kenin in 2.

Gauff is in this section.

Osaka's Quarter:

Osaka vs. Kvitova 4th round: Osaka in 3.

Osaka vs. Vondrousa QF: Osaka in 2.

Halep's Quarter:

Halep vs. Serena 4th round: Halep in 2.

Halep to the SF.

Karolina Pliskova vs. Kenin SF: Pliskova in 3.

Osaka vs. Halep SF: Osaka is good, but Halep will get this one this time. Halep in 2.

Pliskova vs. Halep Finals: I'll root for the one that hasn't won one, Pliskova in 2.

Rafa whiffed badly on several "easy" balls.

Yes, I expected better from Thiem too.

How about Brady? She's in her first Finals. It was a bit disappointing how many first serves she kept missing in her last game. But she persevered.

Tsitsipas vs. Medvedev is the first late night match I'll watch live, for the tourney. So far, I've been DVRing the previous ones.

But for this, I want to watch as much as I can live, until I get tired.

It's been a while since someone has won 4 quickly, with little letdown.

Admin: Or, as someone suggested, for game threads. It would make it hard to find and read non-live game threads though, since they would all be contained here. It was just a built-in plugin Jul 25, 2017 15:20:03 GMT -8

nuraman00: What's the difference between a live game chat, and a game thread? From my experience, game threads are used as live chats. Jul 25, 2017 20:13:34 GMT -8

BillLaimbeer: In a game thread, you talk about the game before, during, and after the actual game. You have a permanent record of those discussions. In a game chat, you interactively talk about the game while it's going on. After it is over, tho,there is no chat record. Jul 26, 2017 5:42:50 GMT -8
