CAMELOT FANTASIES

I've been to casinos a few times but I must admit herc darling, I am allergic to it since all I see is mindless gambling. I do like going to Woodbine but that's mainly because it has a great buffet and also, it has horse racing that you can watch while having lunch or dinner. Woodbine has a casino and I've only been to that Casino once because we went from work so the plan was to gamble for a bit and then have dinner and enjoy the show.

Well anyway, different strokes for different people as long as they are enjoying their time! As to Andy, well, how could he have fire in him when he decided before the match that he was going to lose anyway?

You'd know when Andy is going to tank a match - it can be found both in his body language and his team. His team are usually subdued when Andy is about to dump a match. Otherwise you will find them very engaged - win or loss. Watch them all closely and you will know. You'd have to be a very good reader though. Almost nothing escapes my eyes if I am focused.

Andy is the mastermind behind all this. He's the one who decides what he's going to do. He is his own man. No one has any say to this. The only time Andy was fully committed to any coach was Lendl and that's because Andy couldn't do it on his own anymore - he couldn't win a Slam let alone Wimbledon. But Lendl gotta go too after Wimbledon since Andy no longer needed him. I guess we'll never find out if Lendl went out on his own citing this or that or that, Andy had set the demand so high leaving Lendl no choice but to leave the team.

This does not negate Andy as a person or as a player however. He's only doing what he wants as far as his tennis career is concerned and what's best for him. Unlike other 3, his goals have always been different. For example, I am fairly sure No. 1 ranking is never his goal or priority.
