Yes. It'd he story we'd be telling our grandchildren. Everything was ready. Huge boost for sport and sending Novak to stratosphere. All the headlines. Oh I feel sad we didn't get to witness it.Its quite hilarious that the junior conspiracy theorists do not realise how desperate the tennis governing bodies were for Novak to get the CYGS.
It would have been a huge promotional boost for the sport.
The USTA had even organized a symbolic "passing of the torch" style presentation event with Rod Laver that would have gone ahead if Novak won. Laver was to hand over the trophy to Djokovic with Elton John's "Rocket Man" (a reference to Laver's nickname) playing in the background.
