CAMELOT FANTASIES

he was definitely the king of the jungle in his day. 6 years at #1 is huge.


look at the intense concentration on this volley:

by the way damn near every forum that I know is just about dead. it doesn't matter if they have ever 2300 members or over 4000.

that is the nature of the beast. season is over and people have holiday travel and Christmas on their minds.

and then on top of that, we are brand spanking new.


and don't forget that all our federereeeesian friends ran away once nadal got a little closer to Federer's records.

Federer is like a religion to some of these cats.

now some of them make a living on twitter and facebook blasting and tearing into nadal 24 hours a day. such is the level of hate for nadal.

wishing him death and injury is becoming more and more common now.


so who needs such cowards anyway.


I rather have a cool tennis family of 50 people than to have 1000 cowards who cant hardly live because nadal is closing in on Federer's slam record.

what the hell are they going to do if nadal wins 2 more slams in 2014?


at any rate we are well on track on having about 200 people here. it will take at least a year. I thought it might take a little longer but now I am more positive.

I think we are moving in the right direction. we are making more progress than meets the eye.

we are building for the future and the future is quite bright for Camelot.

I really don't mind Federer. I think he's truly a great player. I enjoy his matches - win or loss. And I don't think at all he is responsible for this cult like fanbase. It's the ordinary minded people who have the tendency to become all obsessed with celebrities/players for no good reason. I see it as an escapism. People don't like their own reality so they subscribe to those that aren't their own reality. It's a very nice escape for them.

Baron, for example, is really a level headed person but he too I feel is a bit too protective about Federer. I have a really good friend who's a big Federer friend but his obsession over Federer I find really unhealthy. There are also some serious Fedal fanatics out there.

i have known some major fed fanatics in my time. even the most objective ones can be major closet fed fanatics.


just look at masterclass. not a word about congratulating nadal, his team, his family, and his fans when he captured the Australian open.


instead his first and initial response: he ran to tennis frontier and said something to the following effect:


nadal will never win a slam off clay again. the next knee injury is almost here. and then he added something about poker or something. he said he will be back to playing golf and poker in no time flat after he destroy his knees.
this is minutes after nadal won the Australian open.




that was a bitter thing to say. now you know that time does not stand still. people are going to come and they are going to go. records will continue to be broken.


now i know masterclass is a smart and an objective fellow but fed is a religion to many of these people. it is what it is.

it really does not matter to me. i am enjoying it all.

does this guy ever stop? now he is playing golf.

I really like him as a golf player for some reason. He'll probably take it up after tennis.
