number of blanks in the question equals number of letters? then “trusting himself”
otherwise i think even better answer is “returned awesomely”
chieko said
The weather returns to suit him. No wind, no humidity and no heat to bother him. Condition was perfect for him.

Chieko, why do I get the eye-roll face from you??

Because I cannot believe you can come up with so many good answers. It took me a long time to just think of a coupe ( I mean it … hours). So my eyes roll because it is so incredibly good . Bravo!! Or does rolling eyes not good. Please let me know .
D.S.G. said
Rolling eyes can mean: “I’m thinking…I’m thinking.” or it can mean ” Heaven help us, will someone please this person to shut up?” or ” I’ve heard all of THIS before”
These might not be very very good examples…does anyone have additional comments?

Unaware the commentators and tournament directors wanted a Nadal-Federer final?
Sarah said
I like that one. Basically, he wanted to win.
Sarah said
Do the blanks/dashes represent letters? First word eight letters; second word seven letters?
Novak had no pressure (no expectation) to win; he as well as most of the people in Ashe expected Roger to win.

Seems good but..
“Djokovic’s win over Federer was largely because Djokovic was backhand returns” – incorrect sentence

I don’t know I just put his 2 words in the sentence, did he say anything different?
