THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- John Millman had just defeated 20-time Grand Slam champion Roger Federer at the US Open, but the Australian-born tennis player, ranked 55th in the world, had a glaring concern.
“I’ve got a seven o’clock in the morning fantasy draft so I’m going to get up for that,” Millman said during a 1 a.m. postmatch interview. “I’m second pick. I don’t know whether to go Los Angeles Rams running back [Todd] Gurley or Le’Veon Bell.”
In all likelihood, the decision was probably made for Millman. There’s a good chance by the time his second pick came around, Gurley was already off the board.
