大神原文是这样的：
Lowest Ranked Player in the Quarterfinals:
Men: That would be No. 14 seed Alexandr Dolgopolov, because he’ll upset No. 2 seed Novak Djokovic in the fourth round.
翻译：
8强中的最低排位种子：
男子：14号种子多戈，因为他将在第四轮爆冷击败2号种子德约科维奇。
好简短
另一处：
Most Resounding Upset:
Men: The aforementioned Dolgopolov win over Djokovic.
最大冷门：
前面 提到的多戈胜小德


看了原文全文，觉得波多是个很有意思的人，他的某些预言，我倒真希望能实现，
但是，我总觉得他不打网球，可能也不太看
只是凭着数据之类的在做感性判断，所以乌鸦几率才极高
把全文分段贴出来：
U.S. Open Crystal Ball
Peter Bodo
Saturday, August 25, 2012NEW YORK—Howdy, tennis fans. It’s time once again to break out the cape, tall conical hat (the one with the astrological signs and iridescent stars embroidered on it), and my trusty crystal ball. We’ll chant a few incantations and gaze deeply into the milky, mesmerizing orb to make some fearless predictions for the upcoming U.S. Open.
Highest Seed to Lose in the First Round
Men: Kevin Anderson will upset David Ferrer, the No. 4 seed. Anderson is an aggressive, attacking player with a huge serve; he’s utterly at home on hard courts. Ferrer prefers clay, but he's bagged five of his 16 career titles on hard courts. So the big difference here will be the jitters Ferrer will experience playing his first-round match as a heavy favorite against a tough hard-court opponent. Ferrer has been a model of consistency, which is why win by Anderson will come as such a shock.
Women: WTA No. 40 Daniela Hantuchova, a two-time champion in the big combined event in Indian Wells, will waylay rising 21-year-old Russian star and No. 17 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova. Although Pavlyuchenkova leads their head-to-head, 4-1, they haven’t played for almost two years. Hantuchova catches fire now and then, and this would be a good time for her to get a hot hand once again. At 29, she’s both experienced and crafty enough to take advantage of the youthful confusion that has doomed Pavlyuchenkova to a one-step-forward, two-steps-back developmental regimen.


美网水晶球（预测）
皮特波多
20120825，周六，纽约
网球迷们，你们好！又到了披上斗篷，带上高高的圆锥帽（上面有着天空星象标记，镶嵌五彩星星的那种），开启我信赖的水晶球的时刻了！我们将会诵念一些咒符，凝望着令人目眩神迷的水晶球深处，对将要到来的美网做出无畏的预测！
首轮出局的最高顺位种子
男子：凯文.安德森第一轮就会打的四号种子费雷尔失望而归的。安德森是发球超强，是一个很有攻击性的选手，硬地又是他的自留地，最为擅长。费雷尔喜欢打红土，但他也在硬地上拿到了自己16个冠军重的5个。这次比赛的不同之处在于，费雷尔作为重炮手最喜欢的对手，首轮就要面对难缠的硬地高手，这会让他过度紧张。费雷尔一直是稳定的楷模，所以，安德森的胜利将会引起极大的震动
女子：40号种子汉图楚娃--印第安维尔斯的两度冠军得主，将会挡住21岁的俄罗斯17号种子帕芙柳琴科娃的前进之路。虽然帕芙柳琴科娃在H2H上以4:1领先，但是他们已经2年没有交手了。汉图楚娃常常能做到火力全开，而且现在正是展示自己功力的时候。在29岁的年龄，她经验和技术兼备，有能力利用帕芙柳琴科娃的年轻，以及其进一退二的老毛病，将其擒获。
波多不是选了泡芙做女子黑马的吗？

Last Russian Standing:
Men: No. 28 seed Mikhail Youzhny is 30 years old, ranked No. 29, and a new dad. That gives him plenty of motivation to make the most of these final years of his career. He's been a semifinalist in New York twice in years past, and is in the same quarter of the draw that will be up for grabs when Anderson beats Ferrer!
Women: Maria Sharapova, seeded No. 3, will scream and shriek and pause thoughtfully as if frozen in mid-step before she returns to the service line to play a point, and it will all look persuasive and menacing and at times unbeatable—until Serena Williams gets a hold of her in the final and squishes her like a piece of that gummy Sugarpova candy under the sole of her Nike kicks.
成绩最好的俄罗斯选手：
男子：28号种子尤兹尼现在已经30岁了，世界排名29位，也新晋成为了父亲。这一切让他有动力在职业生涯末期拼尽全力。他已经在纽约2次打入半决赛，而且他处在安德森打败费雷尔后，竞争全面开发，人人有机会的分区！
女子：莎拉波娃。三号种子在发球线击打每一分时，将会时而尖叫，大喊，时而中途停下思考人生----而这些看起来很有说服力和威胁力，有时这让她看起来甚至不可战胜----直到小薇碰到她，用自己的耐克鞋鞋底把莎娃像Sugarpova糖果一样碾成碎片（汗。。。。波多真心不给面子啊）


Lowest Ranked Player in the Quarterfinals:
Men: That would be No. 14 seed Alexandr Dolgopolov, because he’ll upset No. 2 seed Novak Djokovic in the fourth round.
Women: Sloane Stephens, No. 46 in the WTA rankings, will dismiss No. 22 seed Francesca Schiavone in the first round, as well as No. 8 seed Caroline Wozniacki to earn a quarterfinal date with her BFF Serena, who will then teach her the meaning of the word, “frenemy.”
进入八强的最低排位种子：
男子：14号种子多尔戈波洛夫，因为他会在第四轮淘汰德约科维奇（其实据说被波多看中了不说什么好事）
女子：斯蒂文斯。46号种子将会第一轮击败斯齐亚沃尼，然后击败沃兹尼亚奇，和她最好的朋友小威一起，会师1/4决赛。小威届时会教会她“老乡见老乡，当面打一枪”的含义

First Player to Smash a Racquet in Frustration:
Men: Bernard Tomic has always had great if largely unfulfilled potential as a Safin-esque racquet smasher extraordinaire. He’s made great strides toward realizing that potential by pretty much stinking out the joint at the three majors this year. And with No. 20 seed—and expert equipment abuser—Andy Roddick penciled in as his second round opponent, this could be the year when the emotional, wildly talented (and equally undisciplined) Aussie makes his big, er, breakthrough.
Women: Sofia Arvidsson of Sweden, an otherwise lovely young lady of 5-foot-10 who’s been ranked as high as No. 29, will be unable to handle the fact that she’s losing her first-round match to 41-year old, 5-foot-4, 117-pound. Kimiko Date-Krumm of Japan. The result will be a terrific tomahawk chop into the Deco-Turf.
第一个摔拍子的选手：
男子：托米奇要成为萨芬式的毁拍能手，还是有很多潜力未挖掘出来。当然今年三大满贯的若干场臭球已经使他学会不少了。而且，第二轮他将遇到安迪罗迪克——虐拍专家。额，这意味着，他会（在摔拍子这一项上）进步更多的。
女子：瑞典的阿维德森，这位高大的年轻女士将不能接受自己第一轮输给4身材矮小，而且已经41岁的伊达公子的事实。


Most Lopsided Score in the Quarterfinals or Beyond:
Men: John Isner will lose just 13 games in his 7-6, 7-6, 6-1 quarterfinal win over Youzhny.
Women: Serena will lose just 13 games in the three matches she plays starting in the quarterfinals en route to the title.
八强以后最悬殊的比分
男子：伊斯内尔在男子1/4决赛中将会仅仅丢13局，以7:6,7:6,6:1击败尤兹尼（这比分不悬殊啊）
女子：小威从八进四比赛到决赛的三场比赛，总共加起来只会丢13局
First French Player to Lose:
Men: Benoit Paire’s head will explode like a melon shot by a .30-’06 midway through the second set of his first-round match, while trailing Grigor Dimitrov 6-2, 4-1. . .and it will only get worse.
Women: Jelena Jankovic, the No. 30 seed, who just today renounced her Serbian citizenship and asked for asylum in France in order to be eligible for this “honor.”
首个出局的法国选手：
男子：Paire第一轮第二盘2-6,1-4落后迪米特洛夫的时候，他的脑子就像被射中的西瓜一样炸了，然后会更糟糕……
女子：扬科维奇—30号种子今天宣布放弃塞尔维亚国籍，寻求法国政治避难，就是为了争取最早出局的法国女选手这一殊荣
Most Successful American:
Men: Isner, U.S. Open runner-up of 2012.
Women: Serena, who will win the title and later that night appear on the Home Shopping Network for 36 minutes, during which she’ll move $34 million worth of product and earn an extra $18 million. You think I’m kidding, don’t you? Like Yogi Berra once said, “You can look it up.”
最成功的美国选手
男子：伊斯内尔，2012美网亚军
女子：小威。她将会赢得奖杯，获胜当晚她就会在Home Shopping Network活动上出现36分钟，搬走价值3400万美金的商品，另外还会额外挣得1800万美金，你以为我在开玩笑，是吗？就像Yogi Berra说的：咱走着瞧！


Most Resounding Upset:
Men: The aforementioned Dolgopolov win over Djokovic.
Women: Anyone else who says he or she predicted the upset of No. 5 Petra Kvitova by Michaella Krajicek, the former Wimbledon quarterfinalist, is flat out lying.
Lowest Number of Games Lost By a Top-4 Seed in the First Round:
Men: If it weren’t for the pity factor, Donald Young would not have banked those three games in his 6-0. 6-0, 6-3 first-round loss to Roger Federer.
Women: I don’t know what Alexandra Panova did to get Victoria Azarenka so angry, but the match was just 48 minutes old and the score was 6-0, 5-0 before Panova won her first game. Ya think Azarenka is kind of steamed about being about as invisible a No. 1 as the WTA has ever produced?
最让人失望的意外：
男子：多尔戈波洛夫战胜德约科维奇
女子：任何预测小克拉吉塞克会战胜科维托娃的说法，都是赤裸裸的谎言（？）
第一轮前四位种子丢掉的最少局数
男子：
如果不是牛手下留情的话，杨第一场0:6,0:6,3:6输给费德勒的比赛连3局都拿不到
女子：我不知道Panova怎么惹到了阿扎伦卡，但是第一轮比赛48分钟后，比分是6:0,5:0，之后Panova才拿到第一局，阿扎伦卡可不愿意做一个没有存在感的No.1 ！

亮点在最后：
Most Unsuccessful Hawkeye Challenges:
Men: Federer will go 0-17 in challenges, mostly because he doesn’t believe the technology is reliable and he just wants to burn through those challenges as early as possible in each set so that he doesn’t even have to think about them.
Women: No. 11 seed Marion Bartoli will go 3-15 simply because, convinced that she’s smarter than everyone else, she’ll challenge on shots that everyone in the stadium sees as well-called.
最不成功的挑战鹰眼记录
男子：费德勒连续17次挑战鹰眼失败。主要是因为他压根不相信这种烂技术，他只想尽快把这些没用的挑战机会浪费掉，他就可以专心比赛，不用考虑这些玩意儿了
女子：巴托丽挑战的成果是3次成功，15次失败，因为她想证明自己比任何人都聪明，所以挑战那些球场所有的人都看到并喊出来的球


差点首轮了 逆转了
