Do you feel the Murrovic rivalry would have turned out differently if Murray had won that Shanghai final?

I feel it would have kept up the momentum following his US Open victory and maintained the pressure on Djokovic. I think he could have got into Djokovic's head a little bit if he had converted 1 of those 5 match points and that would have been really useful going into the 2013 AO. But it's all just ifs, buts and maybes now.

Federer choked massively that day against Nadal. That final was the beginning of Federer's mental struggles vs Rafa. Even in the second the choking didn't end as he squandered a 5-3 lead. He was lucky to win it in a tiebreaker eventually.

Even against Nadal on clay, Fed had no business losing the first set after being up 5-1. And also had SP on his way to losing the last 6 games of the set from that moment.

Yes, it happens to them. Federer had mental struggles vs Nadal. Later Nadal himself started to struggle mentally, especially against Djokovic. I still can't get over Rome 2016 where he simply choked BOTH sets away, especially the second from 5 setpoints on serve. And people forget that this year in Madrid semifinal Nadal was also close to choking from two matchpoints on serve. Luckily it didn't become 5-5.

I have a story to tell..

I lost an accumulator last year because Federer lost to Thiem on grass.

I stopped gambling soon after that. There is no way you should gamble if your luck is that bad :mad:

To sum up my gambling career;

Bet on Nadal to win the French last year (odds of 4/1 looked good)
Lost an accumulator thanks to England losing to Iceland in football. That's considered the worst result in England's history.
Bet on a cricket match that was heading for a draw. After i placed the bet the teams fixed the match so a draw was impossible. I lost money on a fixed match.

After that it was clearly time to stop gambling.
