    He will. No matter what we know, the idea is that Wimbledon is way above the other three and so the US Open win won't be seen by the layman as such a great achievement.

    And in lieu of that it will be seen as more important than a TdF GC win.

    I'm convinced companies outsource songs to any pub team band so they don't have to deal with the royalties incurred on the original.
