2018 US Open Semi Finals Update

The quarter finals of the US Open is complete, so let's take a look at how the results impacted my rankings of the players still in the tournament.

The current leaders in the Player of the tournament awards are John Millman (+47) and Anastasija Sevastova (+45). Millman will win the award unless Kei Nishikori wins the title, and Sevastova will win the award unless Naomi Osaka does better than she does, which results in Osaka winning, or if Madison Keys defeats Serena Williams in the final, in which case Keys wins the award.

View my predictions from week 2 for the Men and the Women here, but before the latest rankings, some stats I calculated for the top 150 players:

Now we're at the semi final stage, I'm also going to add some prediction percentages for the final and the title, based on these ratings.
