CAMELOT FANTASIES

morning sport fans.

sipping fresh coffee and watching some davis cup.


nole is basically unbeatable at the moment. he is serving simply too well and returning even better.

One must need to pay attention to the serve. You know how a big a weapon it is. The reason why Federer is still winning some important matches is because of his serve. He is otherwise quite erratic off the baseline.

That's why I say a peak and prime Sampras is devastating as both Federer and Nadal will have a really hard time returning his serve. Not only they are not known as great returners but also, they will be under a lot of pressure to hold their own serves. And it's not necessarily a better case for either Nole or Murray either because, history suggests, an incredible returner like Agassi had no answer to Sampras' serves and had to guess it most of the time while facing off. And it doesn't make you feel any better when you know that Sampras' 2nd serve was just as good if not better, so it left no doors open for his opponents to bite it and most times, they would wish for a bad day for Sampras at the office. It's not that Courier past his prime at age 26 but that Sampras had him on the ropes from the get go and left him no hope. And it's not that Agassi indulged himself into drugs and women because he didn't want to play tennis, but because he too didn't see much hope against Sampras. Agassi was flamboyant and he loved name, fame, glory and all that jazz, but he had to play the 2nd fiddle to Sampras and that's why he speaks so low of Sampras in his book, which is full of lies for the most part btw. In reality, he couldn't do what he wanted to do because of Sampras and he always hated him for that reason. Even to date, he doesn't miss a chance to take pot shot at Sampras.

Courier of course wasn't as vindictive. He accepted the fact that Sampras was by far the superior player when he came into his own term and showed his respect that way.

TW does have many posters who live to attack. You don't have to say or do anything to them, besides not be a Fed Fan.

It's really silly, but what are you going to do?

I like the vibe over here. Real slow and mellow.

Am loving Miss Emma's café although I don't drink coffee.

I suppose I could order a spot of tea, but the truth is I prefer cold beverages.

No caffeine for me.

Anyway, I am loving the forum and the ability to talk in peace without the usual clique behavior.

I love your vibe as well, Lady Emma.

A touch of class, indeed.

great post. Agassi does harbor some deep seated resentment for pistol pete because the pistol was so ruthlessly efficient on the court.

pistol cut them all down to pieces at Wimbledon. most felt they had no chance against him.

even becker has said this about Sampras: becker said that "on a good day, you had no chance against Sampras  on any surface except for clay".

Hm... I was out eating sunday roast today... Met Boris Becker with kid.
Nice guy. Looks like my son. Same hair.

Hope everybody has a good sunday here

So many matches I need to see again before season starts up again.
I get a bit stressed thinking that the players never rest...

Think Rafa played Ferrer today.

I have no idea who is going to play which tournament early in 2014.
I was so into all the numbers, tournaments in 2013. Almost got sleeping problems following the matches outside europe. I have to try to take it a bit more easy, sleep more regulary... I have to always get up early.

Davis cup I never watched really. Even though the time difference to Serbia is good for me. Never felt any emotions for Davis.

How are you clay death? Do you live in a hot part of the states?
We are maybe going to move to san fransisco one day..!

I have family in san Francisco as well. last time I told you I have family in England and Switzerland. my cousin grew up and went to school in Southampton. he would marry a wealthy French woman and proceed to buy a real castle in france.

now they live in Switzerland. they have turned the castle into a bed and breakfast type of deal.

my dad's younger brother lives in san fransisco. he and his family like it there. we cant get them to move to the south.



so what is the name of that movie star in your avi? maybe I can try to reduce the size of the original picture if you can post it here. and then you can try reloading it.



it looks like rain here now.
it is a good day to relax, read, and to catch an old match or two.

 I might start catching some old RG  and Monte Carlo matches if I can find them.

I could have had a better weekend plan when I decided to take Monday off but I am just going with the flow as I feel like it. I need some quiet time and perhaps tomorrow I will do just that. I like to meditate. Do Be, Do Be, Do Be, Do and Be!

I have a created a wish list center. this may come in handy in making improvements. we might be missing something.

this is a way to gauge the pulse of the folks and trying to learn what they would like to see here at Camelot.
