Zheng Qinwen began the night with a roar. As she rifled a backhand down the line for a winner, she accompanied it with a piercing grunt. It sounded as if she were sending a message to her famously noisy opponent, Aryna Sabalenka: She was here to match her shot for shot and shriek for shriek.

After quarterfinal demolition of Zheng Qinwen, is Aryna Sabalenka ready to win her first US Open title?

In a rematch of their five-set Wimbledon quarterfinal, Daniil Medvedev will take on world No. 1 Jannik Sinner in the US Open quarterfinals. Medvedev emerged victorious in that battle at the All England Club, snapping a five-match losing streak against the Italian—and I like the Russian’s chances of winning two in a row. But I’m going the safer route and playing Medvedev +5.5 games.

US Open Betting Preview: Daniil Medvedev vs. Jannik Sinner

After beating Daniil Medvedev in the quarterfinals, world No. 1 Jannik SInner is now an overwhelming favorite to win the US Open. But Sinner’s semifinal opponent, Jack Draper, hasn’t lost a single set in this tournament. That’s especially impressive considering the Brit just faced Alex de Minaur in the quarterfinals.
