CAMELOT FANTASIES

I joined tennisoplis which has around 46,000 members. I joined only so I can recruit for Camelot.

and I will do that there when the opportunity presents itself.

I think realistically we can get around additional 150 members in 2014. that makes for 200. and maybe we can grab another 100 in 2015.

300 is all we need. that is such a perfect number. and it is a magical number.

Camelot is going to be fun anyway but with 300 it will be a lot more fun. that means a little more activity and more folks can just do their thing here.



pete had the best serve that I have ever seen. never have I seen such perfect mechanics on a serve.

being tall certainly helps. andy is almost 6 foot 4. I am convinced that he can have a dominating serve with more work.

he has no problem hitting a serve in the 135 MPH range.

now the time has come to learn better placement and also that 2nd serve can be a lot better.

Never heard of tennisoplis before but you are doing a good job in recruiting people, herc.

Andy's first serve is pretty lethal and dominating but he needs to make it more consistent to the point where he can rely on it when all else fails. There are bad days at the office after all.

And I'd say rather than focusing on placing the 2nd serve, disguising it is more crucial. Most of the time, Sampras' opponents couldn't even guess which way the serve was going and that involved both serves. So it's not just the placing of the serve but also the right speed, precision, disguise and the body language that made those serves very effective especially at crucial moments and had his opponents second guessing.  Pete served especially well while he was under great pressure. One can't be selective about it and go for the stats only - that doesn't tell you the whole story. One needs to be there with him week in week out to see how he pulled it off when he needed to.
