CAMELOT FANTASIES

evening emma.

strange final tomorrow. 2 guys who have done their best work on the hard courts are suddenly in the final of a masters event on clay.

and the clay court master is out on the street looking in.

well he did it to himself. he has nobody to blame but himself. he did not put in the time for the most vital and the most critical part of his season so its no wonder he has a price to pay for that.


at any rate looks like roger is finally going to get his hands on that elusive monte carlo crown. I cant see him losing to stan tomorrow.

It is indeed strange but you shouldn't really read much into this as you know it's quite highly coincidental that both would lose before the final and God knows I don't believe in coincidents. The real story will unfold at RG and you should wait for that. Both Nadal and Nole are super hungry for that and for different reasons. Monte Carlo means very little to them and it certainly isn't going to assure an RG win later even if they beat each other, if you know what I mean.

I don't personally see Monte Carlo as an elusive crown but it will be interesting to see if Stan is going to fold yet again to Federer or if he's going to convert it. He's done it once back in 2009 I think right here so it's not completely as given as it's made out to be, unless you think 2009 Stan was better than 2009 Federer.

Both are playing possum right now, Nole with this sudden wrist injury and Nadal lacking confidence etc., but rest assured, it will come down to these two players come RG and they will be playing it and won't lose it until one gets the better of the other. Of course someone might sneak in the meantime but this doesn't mean and won't mean that they are the best on clay right now.
