If Queen could do soundtracks for Highlander and Flash Gordon, I think they could provide a fitting song for each of the men’s finalists. Here goes:
Dominic Thiem – I Want it All Queen 1989
Adventure seeker on an empty street
Just an alley creeper, light on his feet
A young fighter screaming, with no time for doubt
With the pain and anger can’t see a way out
It ain’t much I’m asking, I heard him say
Gotta find me a future move out of my way
I want it all, I want it all, I want it all, and I want it now
Roger Federer – We Are the Champions Queen
I’ve taken my bows
And my curtain calls
You brought me fame and fortune and everything that goes with it
I thank you allBut it’s been no bed of roses
No pleasure cruise
I consider it a challenge before the whole human race
And I ain’t gonna loseWe are the champions, my friends
And we’ll keep on fighting ’til the end
