deep down you were a little nervous
I would be pissed if I lose in a close match I rather lose in 3 bagel sets
Isner vs Anderson Wimbledon 2018 SF. That is all.

For me it was Nishikori-Carreno Busta
It was torture especially the super tb it was similar to Federer vs Millman I think I was more nervous than Nishikori

Never fun when you pick Kei. I picked him in the first round last year.
He was pushed to fifth set in that one as well.

But that doesn't seem fair. You can change your pick until a match starts. If a player retires hours before it denies you that opportunity. Is there a precedent?

The problem with this is how do we know when a player pulls out ? Highlighted in this tournament for some as it's being held during the night.. we could have rumours flying about on here half an hour before an official announcement and players could jump on Djokovic to get a bye before official announcement.
The rule states - You cannot advance to the next round via a walkover since it is hard to know exactly when someone announced they were pulling out HOWEVER this rule does not apply once you reach the semifinals
My interpretation is that anyone left in can pick Djokovic (apart from me, I've used him) and if he ends up getting a bye then so be it. Even if you pick him after Fed retires even though that sounds bizarre
There was chat about this about 5 or 6 years ago and that's why back ups were introduced but an exception was made of semi finals.
Anyone got and info or advice to add, please do..

It doesn't help that the scheduling is so odd - different semis on different days.
Ok, I have to decide whether to go for some points, or attempt to defend the win last year.
Not the worst problem to have

Who is to say 80% 135mph bombs don’t destroy Joe Kovic in the final???It doesn't help that the scheduling is so odd - different semis on different days.
