CAMELOT FANTASIES

i was so heartbroken from that Miami final that i have yet to even see the match. I was out on the road when the match was being played. thank goodness I was not home otherwise I would have watched it on the tele.

we have it at our global tennis video center by the way. i don't think i am going to watch it.


i did not care for his presser either. the sooner i can forget Miami forever the sooner the better. I know he was disappointed so I did not want to see him that way. Australian Open final was bad enough for people like me.

i will be honest with you: the back injury has set him back which has derailed his fitness. he was not able to practice as well as he would like to either.

for example he was not able to serve for 10 days after Rio.

he said it the other day in some article that i read: he said he has to work harder and get in better shape. that explains it all.

we will get nole at RG and we will take him down at flushing meadows if we run into him there. i am pretty confident of that.

now it would not hurt to take him down a few times before that either. he will be in monte carlo, Madrid, and rome. Rafa will be waiting for him there.

nole will always have the edge on the hard courts in the best of 3 sets formats. he has won at least 8 of them with scores like 6-2, 6-3/ 6-3, 6-2/ 6-3, 6-3 and the like.

we don't care. we will take all the clay events and the slams going forward. i do believe that Rafa will be too worn out for Wimbledon to be able to make a deep run there but lets hope for the best anyway.

Rafa has to make it count at RG and at Flushing Meadows and that is all that matters now. rest will take care of itself.
