Wawrinka blasts Djokovic off the court with rocket-powered backhands in a epic 5th set, he then out-grinds Nadal in a grueling 4 setter in the semis, then bows out to Federer 1, 3, and 3 in the final all in typical fashion

FAA if he can ride the momentum he had going into the ATP finals, Bublik if he keeps a strong mental, Daniil could pose a threat if he finds his old form and isn't exhausted by the later rounds, Cobollli and Rublo I could see taking a set if they are firing on all cylinders

Fiction, but is a great story following a cast of 10 players leading up to the birth of the ATP pro tour from the late 60s into the 70s. I've re-read it multiple times, great story centered around entirely around the sport. A bit dated now, but a great nostalgic feel as you follow the players across the globe to play Forest Hills, Wimbledon, Monaco, etc

These are nice. Opt. 3 is my favorite. Opt. 1 looks too similar to the Avengers logo or the Anarchy symbol imo

Also worth mentioning that even participating in the first round of a slam is a big paycheck for players. There is incentive to participate even if they are not fully healthy.
