let the record reflect that i am rooting for Fedex to win his 18th slam because this might be the best chance he has the rest of his career (the Nadal and Murray early exits helped clear the way and you cannot count on that happening again anytime soon),
but,
i have got to put my money on The Joker in this spot. yes he's had some battles this Wimby and had stretches of poor concentration and focus, but his style of play on the groundstrokes is starting to mimic a bit of a right-handed version of Nadal ie he hits a very very heavy ball, and that has always given fed fits.
medium play (not nearly as big a play as my french final pick of rafa over novak which i posted as a huge play)
- i think the Joker gets it done for his 7th slam win
