Better check on that Fan Favorite stat. Depending on which part of his career this is supposed to be, Connors was either loved or hated.
And if this is Roland Garros, Kodes has to have an edge. He was a master of clay. He also won Wimbledon, but only because a lot of players honored the the '73 boycott. Smith, Newcombe, Ashe, and Rosewall were all out though a couple of talented youngsters, Connors (19) and Borg (17), chose to play. Both were knocked out in the quarters.

Wow, you know your stuff. Kodes had a pretty sizable advantage in that match (in fact he won). My rankings were 89 Kodes to 75 Conners. I used their career record and titles at the specific tourney to arrive at their rankings. Borg is going to be VERY hard to beat at Roland Garros, he is in the quarters against Guillermo Vilas.
I'm currently slightly reworking the crowd support formulas.
Any more ideas on getting the crowd to influence a match would be appreciated.
Currently:
Home Country +1
Falling behind after the first set +1 (Neutral crowd seems to rally behind the first set loser)(This was the reason Kodes was getting a bonus for "UNDERDOG")
Heavy Favorite +1
Popular Player +1
Match Intensity *.3 (for close matches)
Might add in the notion of Fan Capacity based on matchups, dunno.
