And this earns him #19 and #8.

Might as well warm up that congratulatory FB post for Sunday, Alex.At this point, I don't see the rest of the tournament leading to another outcome. It's still kinda crazy for me how it takes two Big 4 players' form to dip (oh, and there's Nadal failing eternally on this surface) for everything to revert back to "fedwinslol". As for the runner-up spot, I guess the chance of a lifetime is Querrey's more than Cilic's (he's been labeled more as a dark horse), but I'm sure they'll both just face a brick wall in the final, anyway.
It was a great match for sure, and the very fact that it was another Fedal is just outstanding. Curious what the rest of '17 will offer.Ricochet wrote:I started off the match opening a beer and toasting it to the realization that another Fedal, despite all odds, is happening and whatever unfolds, it's a joyous occasion. I mean, one dude with 17 Slams was competiting against one with 14, after all, right?
Of course, I ended up being real sad, because I take this sport too seriously. Four sets would have easier to cope with, but that fifth set offered too much to hope for.
