CAMELOT FANTASIES

Yes Emma very interesting points on Andy. I do think he is motivated its just that he has not got into his rhytham yet. I just feel he is almost playing 'back to basics' tennis where he is a bit passive which is his natural game from his youth . Once he gets into that aggressive mode and sticks with it, I think he will be fine but that comes with confidence. 

I just saw a different Andy at DC - motivated and focused. It felt like as if he was almost back. But then I watched him lose in the next tournament and that was a different Andy though I am sure Cilic is very in form right now, but still, Andy's serves and general baseline game was off. Confidence was lacking for sure. That's when it struck me - perhaps he's not as motivated in the Singles anymore. Just a feeling and I hope I am very wrong. And recoveries take time of course and confidence comes with enough match play. Acapulco will a bit more I am sure.

I wish though Andy wasn't at all patriotic but unfortunately he is. That's the only flaw I see in him. I wish he was more individual and focused. He would have achieved much more by now but he was more focused on being loved and expected by everybody in the UK. Love and acceptance would have come with results - sounds shallow but that's how people generally are and Brits are no different in that regard.

so many players just jumped right in at this event directly from clay.

dolgoplov is here also.

I have been saying this for years but nobody ever listens: clay to hard courts is the easiest adjustment. all you need is a few hours of practice and you are good to go.


its clay to grass that is the hardest.

the year Nole won in Toronto, he had flown in from his country where he had competed on clay the day previous. so what does he do?

he goes on to beat all the top players--including Federer--to snatch the title.

Looks like our dear baron only comes here to defend his position. I mean when was the last time he was here for no reason but just to have a cup of coffee? That big ego gots to go!

Did you know herc darling that 99.99999999999% people in the entire world spend their time just trying to defend their point of view? In fact all the wars that you see and all the different political views, all the religious differences, all the bickerings in every day life including sports, etc. are just people trying to defend their own point of views. They have an opinion and they believe they are right and then they defend it as if there's no tomorrow. Alas, we are a very sad species.

we may have start slipping wet cement in his coffee to weigh his sorry ass down when he stops by Emma's Café next time.


that will slow him down so he can stay a little bit longer.



 

Rafa gets abused like there is no tomorrow at some of the larger tennis forums but then what are to expect from the legless, toothless, hate riddled trolls.

tennis warehouse and MTF are notorious for blindly hating Rafa. they used to hate Nole and his family even worse at MTF if that is possible.

I might add that Andy does not get much respect at tennis warehouse and at MTF either.


this is one of the reasons we have Camelot. we think hate is just a wasted emotion and a huge waste of valuable time and energy.

we tend to look at the bright side of things at camelot.

So true. I don't understand it. I love Murray's game and personality. Always have. He's just sincere and his game is so darn smart. You never know what he's going to do. That's what I like about watching him. He's like the chess man, LOL.

Andy is very down to earth and it shows. he is just a cool dude off the court.

Andy coughed up the first set but gets it done anyway.
