who ya got?
Ferrero as COY, for sure, and Holgar Rune for Newcomer OY….and Carlos gets MVP!
Ferrero also won a Masters- that should be factored in
Sorry I meant PCB.
factored into what?
PCB deserves a mention for winning Canada and had a better year overall than Coric .
Not sure what category that would belong in.
Ferrero deserves best coach.
