what we thought Rafa was getting
1R: Giron
2R: Kokkinakis
3R: Khachanov
4R: Hurkacz
QF: Zverev
SF: Djokovic
F: Medvedev
but actually
1R: Giron
2R: Hanfmann
3R: Khachanov
4R: Mannarino
QF: Shapovalov
SF: Berrettini
F: Medvedev
well, 3 out of 7 not too bad no? this is really high stakes stuff because Rafa has been in the position before to complete the double career slam but was painfully denied several times. this will be either the best weekend or the worst weekend ever for him and his faithful.
I can't sincerely put all my chips in his corner because of my Fedfan card. but I would take 10 more Rafa slams over 1 more Novax, because the guy has never been anything but a great ambassador for tennis and all around human in general. good luck NF, hope that whatever happens you can be proud of what your guy accomplished these past two weeks.
