Sopcic's hamstring injury healing quickly!
By Steve England; ESVN (Fair and Balanced) - Plagued by injury this season, the prospects of the champ repeating has been in doubt! First the champ faced surgery for what was thought to be a torn meniscus, then most recently a pulled hamstring! Fortunately, an MRI showed that the Champ's knee pain was not as suspected, and the pulled hamstring not as severe as in the past! The champ has pulled his hamstring before, and this gave him reason to suspect a prolonged recovery period. The champ's recovery has been quicker than expected...permitting him to schedule his match with CG!
It is widely suspected that the champ will not be 100% when he steps back onto the court. This could give CG a golden opportunity for an upset victory! The ramifications for the playoffs are significant! Had Sopcic been forced to forfeit, or if CG can benefit from the Champ's diminished capacity. The bracket could be rattled! This injury could result in several contenders facing each other on the same side of the playoff-bracket (eliminating one another). Meanwhile, Dynasty-Champ JT would be freed to wreak havoc on the other side---thereby having a relatively easier path to the finals. All will depend on whether the Champ's injury will give CG the edge he needs for victory!
