CAMELOT FANTASIES

interesting post there emma.

perhaps somewhere in the back of your mind you also had the andy match to think about.

I know I did not sleep well at all the night of the rafa vs stan match.

I was not going to watch it and just hit the sack. we do have a world class tennis video center here so i was going to watch it next day.


well I got up to go the bathroom and afterwards I decided to check the score. next thing you know I started watching it. the match was on my mind as there was so much tennis history at stake. I just tossed and turned that night.

No, no I didn't think about Andy's match at all. In fact, I was very relaxed about it. I was very sure Andy was going to seal the deal today. I get very cautious when I feel nervous about one of Andy's matches. It typically means one of two things, either Andy has a very tough road ahead or he's going to lose. Most times I know when he's going to lose - like the one against Federer at the AO. I was very convinced he was going to lose so I didn't even bother to watch it as I knew it was just going to upset me. So that wasn't it.

But I totally get your last paragraph. It had happened to me at least a couple of times during AO. For example, I did not at all plan on to watch Dimitrov vs Nadal especially when Andy was right after, but once I checked the score and realized it's turning out to be a good match, I started watching. Next thing you know, I pull an all nighter for no reason.

Last night was just different. It just feels something personal.
