herc, you've lost interest in IW as soon as Nadal went out the other day. Say it ain't so.


affirmative. I have no interest in the hard courts right now.

I am worried to death about my player. its all about the clay season for me right now.

the sooner I see Rafa in monte carlo the better I can start feeling.

See that's the reason why I feel today's fans are much more of players' fans (mostly top players) than they are fans of the game itself quite unfortunately. And by that I don't only mean Nadal fans - it's true for Federer fans, Nole fans and Murray fans as well. Once these guys drop and go out of the tennis radar, these fans will drop as well. Either that or they will become fans of the next big thing. I can already see that they are on the verge of looking. While Federer fans have found Dimitrov, Nadal fans are still looking for their next big Spanish player but perhaps they are not in super hurry since Nadal still has a few years left in him. And Murray fans will move on to the next British player and same for all the Serbs who support Nole now. I know if Dimitrov doesn't deliver then most Federer fans will take a hike and will probably go away from tennis forever. It's all about the results, subsequent glory and the ultimate path to reserve the nonstop bragging right for most after all.

So by that token, I should actually bow out as well until the grass season since Murray doesn't have all that credential on clay, innit.

My phone is running this application since yesterday and it's eating up all my battery. Yesterday, after I found out my battery life was at 15%, I started looking what caused it and sure enough there was this music related application that seemed to have in control of itself and running all by itself. lol

Long story short, I went to my friend at work to get her charger to charge my phone as she has the same phone as me and she lent it to me. This is her spare usb cable that she uses at work since she uses her phone far more than I do. Anyway, this morning same thing happened and I ran out of my phone battery. Now I have a spare too on top of my actual one that came with my new phone, but I forgot to bring any, because  I usually get very good battery life as I tend to fully charge it every night. So I went to her this morning for the charger again and I did apologize for borrowing it from her again and guess what? While she agreed to lend me the charger again, she also mentioned with a very unhappy face that she doesn't like to share her 'technological stuff' as she tends to 'lose' them. lololol. I couldn't hold my surprise back and say, 'are you serious??' lol.

Anyway, I didn't take her thing after that and told her that I was going to borrow it from Will (a guy friend of mine at work). An hour later or so she came to me to apologize for it but I told her it's alright. Not to worry etc. 

But to be honest, I was a bit shocked because first I didn't expect it at all, and second, I got her a part-time job very recently so that she could help her mom a bit. Oh well. You never know people, really. I know that I would have given it to her no matter how many times she needed it. It's only a spare cable after all and you are supposed to help out your friends when they are in need. I help out people I don't even know. lol oh well, again.

It's very rare for me to ask for help or favours. I very rarely do it but good to know I suppose.

Oh and look how my short version became long anyway. But am done with venting, yes.

well I am still following all the developments in our sport as they have a bearing on our own players.


its just that at around this time of the year I start dreaming about by beloved red clay. I like that surface a lot.



this indian wells has not been all that exciting for me because of the one sided draw.

and once andy and rafa crashed out, I lost even more interest.


we watch them all play here and there but we are also all spoiled: the all time greats that are out there offer the best product for us to enjoy. they alone are the most consistent and have been consistent over the last decade.

so out of those all time greats that are out there, we tend to follow some with a little more passion and interest than the others because we find them appealing at various levels and for various reasons. perhaps we like the way they fight and compete.

there is something about them that we--the fans--want to identify with.

that is just pathetically selfish on her part.


people can be so bloody narrow minded and selfish.

that is my #1 pet peeve on the planet: I cannot stand unkind and selfish people.

emma we are just trying to streamline a little bit as this place had become too complex and too cumbersome.


now all the talk show hosts are at Emma's World.


there is not really all that much general pro player discussions at the Camelot tennis center so having Emma's World and the Camelot Poster Center at the top seems to make sense for now.


this is where there is quite a bit of activity.


2 others places with the most traffic is CETSVids Global Tennis Video Center and the RAFA Nation.


accordingly I think these 3 places should have the top billing at Camelot.

what do you all think?


general masterclass and you(emma) have brought this idea up. we are starting to grow a little bit now and the board has become a bit busy looking with too man separate boards.

so some consolidation is at least worth a look anyway.

we wont learn anything if we don't experiment.

big final today from Indian wells. who is going to snatch the title?


I think I might have to pick federer. he could take this in straight sets.

I just have this feeling.

Hi herc, I am okay with any change as long as it remains more tennis related. For that reason, I'd rather have Camelot Tennis World at the top (and perhaps you can move the Camelot Welcome Centre from Emma's World to Camelot Tennis World) and move CETSvids Global Tennis Vidoe Centre move right after and Keep Emma's World in the 3rd section. Also, since you have moved some other threads to Emma's World, perhaps the name can change to Camelot's World or something. I am fine with it. Maybe you can change the name of Emma's Cafe to Emma's World on the Home page and that way Emma's Cafe still remains under Emma's World.

Also, Camelot's Multi Purpose Centre can be combined and have only the most active ones on the Home page. Others can be under those ones. Just a few suggestions.

If this was based on your really true feelings then you would have been right but this was more based on what you wanted to see. Unfortunately that's how most predictions go.

She's very self-centred and that makes her very selfish. To her, it's all about 'me, me, me'. She's just not at all aware about how she comes off to others. I spend a lot of time just to make her see that but alas, all falls into deaf ears. I try to be subtle but even the most obvious hint goes between her ears. I don't at all think you can change people. All you can do is do your part and hope fore the best - and you move on. My friendship with her because of this won't suffer but it's good to be aware. And this wasn't even a test that I run sometimes to see how people truly are if something is expected from them . lol

actually it was based on fed's Dubai showing and the momentum fed had. he appeared to be doing well and even snatched the first set.


he again had a chance in the breaker but failed to close the sale. just too many errors.


I did not really had a dog in the hunt as they say.


my players rafa, andy, and anderson had exited already.


fed was serving well in this tournament. well it is what it is.

I bet the fed fans are hugely disspointed.


as for me, I remain worried about rafa and andy.
