As for the upcoming QFs, I'm thinking Zverev vs. Jodar comes down to Sascha's serve. If he's on, I think he'll win. If not, I think Jodar's grit could give him the win. Overall, slight edge to Sascha.
Fonzie vs. Mensik could be interesting. I think this mostly depends upon stamina. They've only played once, back at the Next Gen Finals in 2024 when Fonseca won. I've got to think that Fonzie is the favorite, though, as he's really playing like a top 5 guy, whereas Mensik is also playing really well, but more top 10ish, imo. Edge Fonzie.
Cobolli vs. Auger-Aliassime. I was surprised to see that Cobolli is 2-0 vs FAA, both on hards in 2024. But FAA was struggling a bit back then, at least until late in the year. This could be a tough one, but I'm giving the edge to FAA.
Berrettini vs. Tiafoe/Arnaldi. I think Matteo has the edge against either, as long as he's healthy.
So my SF predictions:
Zverev vs. Fonseca
Berrettini vs. FAA
The final depends on how people look at the end of the semifinals. I'm worried that Fonzie looked exhausted at the end of the Ruud match...the tournament grind may be catching up to him.
