Hope u win, man. Ballsy call.

It's one of those things. How much are historical stats baked into the line? What is reality?

I love all sports. I'll give u a comparison that might sound ridiculous:

*Recent USA Olympic qualifying tournament: Burroughs vs Dake.

Dake is younger, he had been chasing down Burroughs for years. Burroughs held the national team spot for 10 yrs.

Surely, Burroughs had to be the Fav. (Note: not sure there was a line). As it played out, Dake dominated and won.

When you look back at it, how could Dake not be the fav? He was stronger, younger, less burnt out.

Good point, I say the odds are based on reputation and past performances of course, he lost only 2 matches at the French Open but last time I saw him that bad on clay was in 2015 and he lost at the French Open in the quarters. I just hope he won't be in the same half of the draw as Medvedev
