CAMELOT FANTASIES

I agree. The favoritism is blatantly unfair and has been since his ascension. It's unfair to the other players and to the tour overall. He will definitely continue to get these favors. Why would they stop? They have a poor marketing strategy as their goal seems to be to generate interest by proclaiming a GOAT to lure fans. This too has backfired. Ignoring the proletariat in favor of the bourgeoisie is never a good idea, although it is effective.

I am a fan of the big four, but am disheartened at the level of disrespect leveled at the rest of the tour. After Rafa retires I'll probably quit watching tennis as I do not like many of the policies that I see enacted.

As I mentioned before, I was never a big fan of the four (past tense as they don't exist anymore) as I don't enjoy seeing such monopoly of any kind. But more importantly, I've always been a big supporter of the lesser ranked players - reasons why I became a fan of Nole and Andy way back when they just turned pro, as I wanted to see them do well and didn't want them to be under the shadow of Federer and Nadal. Same reasons apply now as well though I do like to see Andy win a few more Slams and I won't mind it at all if Nole ends up winning a couple of more Slams but younger ones must win a lot too. Everything is earned however.

On a personal level, I always tend to support the weak, the poor, the sick, the vulnerables, the misunderstood, the misjudged ones etc. etc. They are my kind of people. I love to stand by them and love to extend my love and support towards them because they are the ones who need it the most. And also, it gives me the greatest joy and pleasure. Supporting the big four feels like supporting the rich and strong and I feel at this stage, they no longer need it as they already have enough. That's just my take on things. I am perfectly fine with people feeling differently. It's what makes things interesting. As someone said, the contrasts are there for a reason. It lets us to choose and gives birth to preferences and makes us who we want to be in this apparentgrand illusion.
