could pete have held back a little bit at RG because he wanted to pace himself better for the full season?
i mean his results were exceptional at Wimbledon, u.s. open, and at the end of the season.
this is going to be a lousy example but guys like querrey and Roddick are on record for saying they wanted to conserve and take their best shots at Wimbledon and other quicker courts.
Roddick sure skipped a lot of clay events.
lousy example in a sense that Roddick and querrey would not have won much on clay anyway. there are just too many great players around.
