Thr first 2 Round 3 match have been played yesterday - USA times. - the item will be updated as results come in and round 2 matches finalized today - with the final update being after the third round match-uopsahvngbeing determined,
The Round of 16 is ;looming and there are certain question marks already in evidence and the following are interesting:-
* Will Hurkacz beat Carrero-Busta to meet Medvedev in the quarterfinals?
* Will Rublev beat Isner in the quarterfinals?
* Will Berretini be the quarterfinals where he would meet Tsitsipas - who will win
The easiest route to the quarterfinals will be Medvedev and Tsitsipas. - followed by Rublev, Sverev and Berrettini with Isner also having expecting to encounter a problem in reaching that stage of the tournament.

Semifinals Match-ups
Upper Half of the draw
1 Danill Medvedev vs 4 Andrey Rublev
Bottom Half of the Draw
2 Stefanos Tsitsipas vs 3 Alexander Sverev
Medvedev is in excellent form and is likely to gpo through to the final, Rublev was really unreliable despite beating Monfils and the match against Paire is going to be a lottery ticket.. Smilar to Medvedev both Sverev and Tsitsipas are in excellent form and are like to go through to the semi's.
Despite evcerything I think the semifinals might be between Medvedev and Rublev and between Tsitsipas and Sverev. .In any event the following is the latest betting on the 4 matches with US Bookmakers:-
Medvedev - $1,28 Carrero Busta - $3,70
Rublev - $1,20 Pairre - $4,60
Tsitsipas - S1,36 Augur-Aliassime - $3,20
Sverev - $1,20 Ruud $3,75
A quartet on the four favorites will give odds of $2,80 ie 280 return a hundred invested and you get your $100 back. The same would apply to Rand bets. Unlike what happened in the tournaments this year the four favorites are in the semi's/
So the four Russian speaking pals are playing each other in the semi's and I think that the final would be between Sverev and Medvedev.- who both won their quarterfinals easily against seeded players - while Tsitsipas and Rublev struggled in their matches against unseeded players.
Final Line-up
3 Alexander Sverev vs 4 Andrey Ruiblev
Rublev never before in a game took a set off Demetrev in 4 matches played. After losing 6-2 in the first set one would have imagined that it would mean no difference today.. However, today he became the giant killer and won the remaining 2 sets 6-3, 6-3. He will fight hard in the final and will have a 40% chance to win if he played like he did today.
There has been one element in the game of Sverev that improved marvelously in the last few months and that was his service - he used to be unreliable in serving and made odoles of double faults - which was not in evidence in recent matches. That was part of the reason why yesterday he suffered to an extent in the semi and while he only won the decding third set in a tie-breaker. .
.
Sverev won the final easily - Rublev was way below expectation.
