it is not cheap. round trip will set you back $23,000.00.

herc darling, this link didn't work for me at all. It keeps taking me to a page with error. Just so you know.

wow. your writing skills are amazing. you could be a writer or a historian.

i think Camelot gives us all we need.

we are all fairly busy and we do like our peace and quiet.


here nobody can tell us what to do and what not to do.

here at Camelot we come and go here as we please.

i call it sublime peace. and we can tell the world that we have a tennis place of our very own.

Thanks herc darling but baron, TT and yourself (not to mention masterclass) are all better writers than me. English is not my first language so I have my limits.

I know I never once mentioned this Camelot forum in my post but know that this is my top favourite forum. It's very peaceful and I get to post anything I like and it's all because of you. You give me all the freedom in the world and my freedom means everything to me. So thank you.

The reason why I rambled on in that post of mine about my previous experiences as a poster on different forums is because, I know deep down inside, there's an end to this forum as well, but rest assured I can tell you that this will be my last forum. I was just reacting to my other post to TT about how much I love change and there were still some thoughts lingering in my mind about it and I wanted to let it all out. It's good to reflect back sometimes.

No, I don't feel the same way. I think the level of play that these two displayed was otherworldly for almost a decade. I can never be bored with excellence. I'm also not adventurous or a risk-taker. I like life calm, soothing, and predictable. I can continually grow in the same spot, because nothing is even stagnant, even friends or mates. You can spend a lifetime with someone and never understand them. I find that just as fascinating.

And that's fine. As I said, I don't expect people to be the same way God forbid. I've never felt strongly about either Federer or Nadal nor have I ever felt that they are otherworldy. As I said to herc that beauty, in the end, lies in the eyes of the beholder. So what's true to you may not be true for me and it isn't. I think it would be very boring if Nole and Andy were to dominate 10 long years especially to those who aren't fans. They can stay as long as they want but I wouldn't want them to dominate the sport.

Yes it's very true that you can spend your lifetime with someone and never understand them but that's not what I was referring to. I was mainly focusing on learning from different people so that we can grow and evolve as human species since it can not possibly come from one person alone. Not understanding someone is a very different thing to me. Even so, personally I feel it would be a great waste of time to spend so much time on someone just to try and understand them. But to each his/her own. People should do what makes them happy the most be it in different ways.

My time at Murray's World was coming to an end I could feel it but I was going to leave after Wimbledon not during it. But Prod made me make that decision faster and I realized after that incident that I could leave right now and that Andy would be safe. He'd win Wimbledon as I had already started the main thread so there was nothing left for me there anymore.  So my departure had nothing to do with Prod, really. He was just a cause and perhaps did me a favour.

Just like T4U - it was never Alex, really. I had loads of fun with him though later he was becoming quite irritating but that's probably because, I wasn't giving him as much attention and I wasn't posting as much either so he made sure he talked to me at any cost every time I was there. Truth is I was already looking for a forum but this time a Murray forum since Andy wasn't winning any Slam and the fans of other players were truly showing their ugly side when it came to Andy, so I needed a safe place where I could support him with all my heart and without any nonsense from other posters. So Murray's World wasn't an accident. It lasted about 2 years but that's all the time I needed. Andy won 2012 Olympics, USO and Wimbledon during my stay and I couldn't have asked for more. Lendl was also hired during that time period so that was the best move I had made at that time. It was well worth it despite all the other slacks I had to take from some of the most rude posters there.

Tennis Frontier was good but it was never my cup of tea. It was too rigid and lacked that bubbliness or openness other forums (T4U and MW) have to offer. There was a very conservative feeling to it and given that I am very outspoken and I like to speak my mind, it wasn't at all ideal for me but I still rate it higher than MW. Though I must admit only 2 forums were ideal for me - CNN and T4U especially T4U (who could forget those years from 2008 - 2011). The problem with CNN was that it was a mainly a tennis forum (because the owner was CNN itself) so there was no place for all other talks (music, movies, politics, chit-chat etc.) so we had to incorporate all that in our conversations. But once we moved to WC after CNN was shut down (I think it was 2000) it was a much better deal but we had lost too many posters in the process. WC closed down too in 2007 unfortunately.

Anyway, because I speak very openly and I am very different than others and because half the posters at Murray's World are older people; therefore, very traditional and (may I say closed minded as well) British, some of them (5 to 7 people at best but that was enough) had problems dealing with someone of my nature. There were attacks unnecessarily and Mark did his best to protect me but there's only so much he could do. Besides, part of the reason for me leaving was the fact that I didn't want Mark to protect me anymore though he was simply doing his job, but I just didn't want him to do that anymore since it concerned me. I was the reason - I was the cause.

But I was a riot no matter where I went. That's a good thing bad thing I don't know but I was brave because I stayed the way I am and I never changed despite everything. That's how I see Andy too. He shouldn't change. But I was very well loved by most of T4U members and I was very popular at WC and CNN. I still remember my first ever post at CNN. I said 'Go Pete!' - he had a match the next day and it took me a lot to say just that because it was my first post and I was terrified. I was under the impression posters would jump all over my post and I wouldn't know what to say back to them so I wanted to keep it as short as possible. LOLOLOL so naive and yet so sweet, no? But I was fairly young too - still a student so you understand. 

Anyway, eventually a Sampras fan took note of me and started having conversations with me and that made me become more open and post more. Rest was history. Oh I joined Sampras Fans club shortly after. The same Sampras fan introduced me there as well- how sweet but it was all meant to be. That's when I became friends with Steffi's mum Heidi at CNN and was also contacted by Tennis Magazine for an interview (that was through Samprasfanz though and had nothing to do with CNN) to speak about Sampras from a fan's perspective. I declined that interview however. The reporter later said to the President of that club that he didn't find anyone else all that interesting and dropped the whole thing. Haha.

There my whole forum life in a nutshell. Hope you enjoyed reading it.

I agree. It's so funny going over to the other site and witnessing all the arguing and babbling over trivialities. They get so worked up, it's hilarious. I remember when a few of them used to get on my nerves, but now, I just laugh because it's so ridiculous. I usually visit Nadal News, because they have everything on Rafa. It's amazing.

I like this place just the way it is. It's a respite from all of the foolishness on the internet. I mean, here we can have intelligent discussions, voice our opinions without censure, and just hang out. And the best part is that we're all tennis fans, fans of the sport in addition to having our own personal favorites. There is no attacking, no name calling, no insults, just grown folks talking about a sport that they love.

One thing I know, this is not the place for immature fanboys and girls who have only been watching tennis for a minute and don't understand the history of the game. Sooner or later, we'll attract the right crowd, because Camelot is for a certain breed of people. Those mature enough to appreciate tennis, the sport.

And even if you prefer to stay within a certain parameter TT I am sure you were very glad to meet herc, masterclass, baron, myself and a few others on different forums. I am sure you have learned and shared a few things as well.

Oh no. I like meeting people and learning new things, but I'm actually quite reclusive. Of course no one believes me, not even my friends, because I tend to have a social persona, but that's because I like to talk. If it was up to me I could probably live on an island with my favorite things, TV, computer, books, and a telephone and be quite happy for the rest of my life.

You write very well. In fact, I had forgotten that English wasn't your first language. That is amazing.

I agree with this as well. There is no place like Camelot, where we can ramble on and on about any and everything and no one will treat us like pariahs. I love the peaceful tranquility here and the wide range of topics. Honest, mature discussion and nobody pouts, sulks, or hold internet grudges.

Thanks CD!

That's another funny thing. You call him herc, I call him CD, and masterclass calls him The General, and no one bats an eye. We all just keep sailing along.

we are just a very cool little family here lady TT.


we are cool with all kinds of fancy names for each other because they are so much fun.

rafa says he has more work to do.

and andy has to deal with marin cilic for a semifinal spot.
