CAMELOT FANTASIES

i saw rafa's 2nd round match. i cant really say that i am happy with him.

i can understand the injury but i dont know why he is not putting in the time on his fitness. he was slow and sluggish even by his own admission.

he says it a little differently but i know what he means. he said he could be better with the legs and stuff.


also it was the left hand injured. he could have worked more on his serve and also the net game. these are fast courts and he was again terrified of the net.


i am worried about him: i am afraid the incredible fame and fortune has taken away some of his attention away from the sport.


simply put, he has dropped his level of play and his fitness quite significantly from last year.


i am just worried sick to my stomach about him. i keep seeing a drop in fitness.


at any rate hopefully he will get it back together for 2015 and give it a good go.

He'll be fine. Rafa is the king of comebacks. He lost when he first came back to Vina del Mar, remember? But he continually got better. It's the timing and intuition he has to work on. That will come with time.
