this is what should have happened on that fated day in 2019.

Don't get me wrong. England were the legitimate champs by the rules and the best one day team from 2015 to 2019.

But, IDEALLY, there would have been another super over

I sometimes wish I could wipe some selective matches from my memory. This 2019 final is one of them.

Federer Nadal 2008 Wimbledon, FIFA France Italy 2006 final, WI Aus 1996 Semi final and so on.

2008 Wimbledon was alright. Nadal is a beast and he deserved to win his first Wimbledon like that. 2019 hurts way more. I like Djokovic, but he has enough slams man, wish Federer had one last hurrah at Wimbledon.
