CAMELOT FANTASIES

Great posts General Hercules.   You think Spartan Stan has a chance to take down the Serbian Slayer?

I think so too if he can get the job done in 3 or 4 sets.  If it goes to 5, I don't think Djokovic will lose. 
Spartan Stan has to bring his best game to the table and hope Nole is slightly off.  That's pressure, but Spartan Stan's experience here last year and the US Open should help him.   I'd like Stan to win, but I have a feeling No-Djok will somehow pull a rabbit out of the hat and win it.

I can't see Dimitrov beating Nadal in best of 5, unless he blitzes him in 3, which is a remote chance.

So here is how I see the semis shaping up:

Djokovic vs.  Ferrer
Nadal vs. Federer

But Nadal and Murray haven't played each other in a while, so I would kind of like to see them instead of Rafa&Roger, but I worry about Murray's back being put under that much pressure so early in his return.

And Spartan Stan vs. either Ferrer or Berdych might be interesting.

Respectfully,
masterclass

I think berdych and Spartan Stan are long overdue general. they both have incredible power of the ground and they have major games.

what has been missing is that they both have not fared well against the top guns. this is their chance.

they have to rise and shine and show the world what they are made of.

I think Spartan Stan is ready. he just has to believe in his abilities.


he will have to keep the pressure on nole's side of the net. he can do that by doing exactly 2 things:

1. serve well
2. return well

there is absolutely no need to engage nole in long rallies. nole is the hottest player on the planet right now so beating him is not easy.

basically if those 2 things are working for Sparta Stan, nole will go down.


and Spartan Stan has to snatch the first set. that is a given. he has no other option.
