CAMELOT FANTASIES

morning sport fans.

sipping fresh coffee and watching some davis cup.


nole is basically unbeatable at the moment. he is serving simply too well and returning even better.

One must need to pay attention to the serve. You know how a big a weapon it is. The reason why Federer is still winning some important matches is because of his serve. He is otherwise quite erratic off the baseline.

That's why I say a peak and prime Sampras is devastating as both Federer and Nadal will have a really hard time returning his serve. Not only they are not known as great returners but also, they will be under a lot of pressure to hold their own serves. And it's not necessarily a better case for either Nole or Murray either because, history suggests, an incredible returner like Agassi had no answer to Sampras' serves and had to guess it most of the time while facing off. And it doesn't make you feel any better when you know that Sampras' 2nd serve was just as good if not better, so it left no doors open for his opponents to bite it and most times, they would wish for a bad day for Sampras at the office. It's not that Courier past his prime at age 26 but that Sampras had him on the ropes from the get go and left him no hope. And it's not that Agassi indulged himself into drugs and women because he didn't want to play tennis, but because he too didn't see much hope against Sampras. Agassi was flamboyant and he loved name, fame, glory and all that jazz, but he had to play the 2nd fiddle to Sampras and that's why he speaks so low of Sampras in his book, which is full of lies for the most part btw. In reality, he couldn't do what he wanted to do because of Sampras and he always hated him for that reason. Even to date, he doesn't miss a chance to take pot shot at Sampras.

Courier of course wasn't as vindictive. He accepted the fact that Sampras was by far the superior player when he came into his own term and showed his respect that way.
