Mens:

Nadal's Quarter:

Nadal - Tiafoe 4th round:

Tiafoe will probably win.  I'll pick Nadal in 5.

Nadal - Medvedev QF:

Again, I think Nadal will lose.  But I'll pick Nadal in 4.

Tsitsipas' Quarter:

Wawrinka - Auger-Aliassime 2nd round:  I hope it's competitive.  Auger-Aliassime in 4.

Tsitsipas - Auger-Aliassime QF:  Continuing my theme of usually picking against what I think will happen, Tsitsipas in 4.

Djokovic's Quarter:

Djokovic - Kyrgios QF:  Djokovic in 4 is the most likely result, but I hope Kyrgios shows more.

Ruud's Quarter:

Berrettini - Andy Murray first round:  Berrettini in 5.

Ruud - Fritz QF:  In a surprise, Fritz in 4.

Nadal - Tsitsipas SF:  Nadal in 3.

Djokovic - Fritz SF:  I wish this would be competitive, but the most likely result is Djokovic in 3.

Nadal vs. Djokovic Finals: Most likely result is Djokovic in 3, but I'll say Djokovic in 4.

Women's Draw:

Swiatek's Quarter:

Swiatek - Gauf QF:  Swiatek in 2.

Pegula's Quarter:

Kenin - Azarenka 1st round:  Azarenka in 3.

Kvitova - Azarenka 3rd round:  Not sure, but Kvitova in 2.

Kvitova to the SF, I guess.

Caroline Garcia's Quarter:

I was about to pick an unranked player to come out of the quarter.

But I'll say Pliskova.

Jabeur's Quarter:

Sabalenka to the SF.

Swiatek - Kvitova SF:  In an upset, Kvitova in 2.

Pliskova - Sabalenka SF:  Pliskova in 3.

Kvitova - Pliskova Finals:  Pliskova in 3.

If I'm wrong about Swiatek losing in the SF, then she'll win the title.

Djokovic with the title and is now tied with Nadal for 22. Hopefully Rafa can somehow get #23 at the upcoming French Open. Nice to see the American men make some noise, and Tommy Paul making it to the semis. Sabalenka has been lights out. She's going to be a top contender for slams now with improved consistency coupled with the power she already has.

Nice to see someone win her first, in Sabalenka.

Seemed like an American man was playing every day. It was kind of cool.

Andy Murray was also great.
