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.
That's a bit too dramatic, herc darling. Surely Rafa's 14 Majors and a number of single titles beg the question, no? But I feel both Federer and Nadal fans are quite spoiled and a bit too ambitious for my taste.
I am quite happy with Andy's 2 Slam titles. Of course a few more would be quite deserved as well but I wouldn't be devastated if he weren't to win any more. I am not sure how you guys would have dealt with Nadal if he were to go 15 months without a title and being ranked 11.
It just somehow comes down to all about glory and who gets to keep the bragging right in the end - Rafa fans or Federer fans - unfortunately.
