US Open 2017: Anderson vs. Carreno Busta Semifinal Prediction
28 Kevin Anderson vs. 12 Pablo Carreño Busta This match is not one that was expected, but also features two seeded players.

The 1992 Men’s US Open was notable due to a large number of clashes between major winners. While Stefan Edberg won the title by beating Pete Sampras in 4 sets, he needed three consecutive 5 set wins in order to reach that final. More unbelievably, Edberg had to come back from a service break down…
