2019 US Open Semi Finals Update

The quarter finals of the US Open finished overnight, so let's take a look at how that impacted my rankings of the players still in. Now we're at the semi final stage, I'm also going to take a look at the best performers at the tournament, and to add some prediction percentages for the final and the title, based on my ratings.

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


Men's Rank± ELO
1-10-35
11-2028
21-5030
51-100-59
101-15029

Women's Rank± ELO
1-1027
11-2046
21-5034
51-100-77
101-150-25


The current leaders in the Player of the tournament awards (given for the players who gain the most ELO rating points) are Grigor Dimitrov (+52) and Belinda Bencic (+42).
Dimitrov will win the Men's award unless Matteo Berrettini makes it to the final, in which case Berrettini will win it unless Dimitrov wins the title. The winner of the tournament will win the Women's award, unless Serena Williams defeats Belinda Bencic in the final, which will lead to Bencic winning the award.

Now, my latest ratings and predictions:
