Re: FOCAL Finals and MK Open - 25th November 2023
I echo the positive sentiments about the conundrums. I do believe that there should be some advantage in being ahead going into the conundrum, in that there is a non-zero chance that neither player solves it, and in that case the person in the lead wins. I knew in some of my games on Saturday that t...

The first to beat Nadal and win the title in RG in the same tournament. It's also hard to see Djokovic not comi...
