Here's one to upset you, SC:

Fery faces the winner of Grigor Dimitrov vs Matteo Berrettini in the fourth round on Monday. He added: "Yeah, I've practiced with both of them. I don't know either of them well. Obviously two very established players. They've had great careers. So it's going to be, yeah, a great challenge for me to play one of those guys.

"I'm looking forward to it. I feel confident in myself. I feel confident in the fact that I can rival-ize with them and put a good performance in."

 

You're welcome biggrin


 The downside of 4 years at an American college, but you would have hoped Stanford was suitably elite to teach proper English.
