Change to Djokovic as main and Rafa as backup

Oh yeah BU Rafa, in the unlikely event that mid-match retirement is contagious.

Wow, into my 4th consecutive AO Final - very concerned for Sunday though, Nadal is looking scary!

Yes it's really feeling like a coin flip at this point, but overall happy with this run whatever happens

Good switch.

Final: RAFAEL OMBELEEBABLE NADAL
(When you’re a Fed fan and you want him to preserve his slam count, but you want your own first slam so you root for Rafa instead)

So there'll be 2 winners either way - essentially a Mixed Doubles Final between PDJ & myself and underground & Rafa4GOAT

Let's see if that's really the case
Who knows, like I said before, seems impossible to know who will win
I said good switch to him/her mostly because he/she is a Nadal fan, and it is even better to win these kind of titles when the player you are a fan of it's the champion. Although that can be a double disappointment as well if the player you're a fan of loses in the final. I know that feeling after I picked Murray for the final of RG 2016 and lost in 4 sets

If only you'd managed to snag the Olympic Gold (great SDL and genunine moment, that one)
One of the unbeaten streaks will have to end on Sunday and there is actually a fair bit of hype around this one

Thanks to Ferrer (if I'm not wrong) losing to an underdog I didn't have a chance at any medal. My first title was a tournament that Murray won at least
Now after winning Wimbledon my goal in this game is to win a masters 1000 or the tour finals, another grand slam would be nice but I think this year I'll have a better chance at the tournaments I mentioned. I have to win one of those before I stop playing this game!!

As part of my formal post-Slam wrap:
Congratulations to you and our fellow winner @plays tennis - for you I make that SDL Title #12, Slam Title #2 (both at AO), 8th title in a hardcourt tournament and 2nd title of 2019 already!
Title #4 for plays tennis: 1st Slam title, 2nd of 2019 as well
For me: Title #11, AO Title #2 and Slam Title #2, 10th hardcourt title - and I get to keep my streak of correct picks at the AO going
For what it's worth, we occupy the Top 3 spots in the Race in the early stages
I would like to credit this win to Pablo Carreno Busta, whose meltdown is probably directly responsible for the position we find ourselves in now
I would say I value the Title from a couple of years ago a bit more, but just happy with whatever I get

I'd say it means more - in that it's been a long, long time since I've been Top Ten. And when I won this in 2016 I'd recently been no.1 and won quite a few tournaments so it felt like a natural progression.As part of my formal post-Slam wrap:

However, years in the wilderness followed
BUT, my attitude was far healthier than previously (l could spend hours deliberating over a pick). Madness.
So this is nicer, sane and lucky!
Oh so lucky!!
