CAMELOT FANTASIES

Yes Emma very interesting points on Andy. I do think he is motivated its just that he has not got into his rhytham yet. I just feel he is almost playing 'back to basics' tennis where he is a bit passive which is his natural game from his youth . Once he gets into that aggressive mode and sticks with it, I think he will be fine but that comes with confidence. 

I just saw a different Andy at DC - motivated and focused. It felt like as if he was almost back. But then I watched him lose in the next tournament and that was a different Andy though I am sure Cilic is very in form right now, but still, Andy's serves and general baseline game was off. Confidence was lacking for sure. That's when it struck me - perhaps he's not as motivated in the Singles anymore. Just a feeling and I hope I am very wrong. And recoveries take time of course and confidence comes with enough match play. Acapulco will a bit more I am sure.

I wish though Andy wasn't at all patriotic but unfortunately he is. That's the only flaw I see in him. I wish he was more individual and focused. He would have achieved much more by now but he was more focused on being loved and expected by everybody in the UK. Love and acceptance would have come with results - sounds shallow but that's how people generally are and Brits are no different in that regard.
