CAMELOT FANTASIES

Oh Feli, Feli, Feli,

You cut your hair in vain.

(Referencing his comments that he cut his hair for his match with Murray as a way of doing something different.

Feli has so many talents, but after all these years still doesn't know how to use them.

I'm still behind, but was hoping (I'll see in a minute) Raonic could take it. Didn't like the way Dmitrov was acting after winning his second set. Mr. Sharapova.

I feel for Feli too because I think he's got a great game - the best game from the current Spaniards bunch including Rafa, but alas, neither does he know how to be consistent and execute his game, nor does he have the mentality that of a Champion, say, Rafa. That separates the two big time.

As to Dimitrov's act after winning the 2nd set vs Raonic, I too noticed it but not just here. He's been doing that since the start of the tournament and I must be honest, it has turned me a bit off. I feel he's celebrating a bit much all of a sudden and in the way Sharapova does, so she seems like the one who's influencing all this sudden change of behaviour in Dimitrov.

I do like Feli, and while I think he's talented, he's not much of a tactician. As far as talent, I would take Verdasco over Feli, another one who can't seem to put it all together. But, I definitely don't think either are more talented than Nadal. Nadal is special, so special. Never been another player that plays like him. He's inimitable. To me, that's talent.

I guess I'm bored of the knock offs. I wanted to see something new and original and that's what I get with Nadal.

TBH, I don't watch Dmitrov unless he's playing one of the Big 4, so I was surprised to see him perform this way. I watched him a bit when he first started getting noticed and so this behavior seemed foreign to me.

Didn't recognize the Sharapova link, but it's not a good look for me.
