CAMELOT FANTASIES

Claycourt practice #dirtysocks #sliding #grinding


Federer coming up to big part of the season for him, Basel, Paris (maybe), World Tour Finals, 
and DAVIS CUP FINAL vs. France at Lille on clay..

General Hercules, Lady TT, and the others, Roger is already practicing on the red dirt back in Switzerland.

Interesting, Roger must be trying to get the ground game in good shape and he used the hash-tag grinding in his tweet, so he must be trying to get even more fit, even after winning Shanghai.  He says he isn't really thinking about it, but I think he's also gunning for Year End #1.

Will be interesting to see how he plays on the hard courts after practicing on clay

Meanwhile, here is Rafa also on Oct 15,  practicing on his indoor hard court in Manacor for Basel. From the interview with Toni and Rafa, it seems that they are going to see how things go in Basel, before making decision on whether to play Paris, or go for the surgery on his appendix.

Respectfully,
masterclass

Why clay? Which tournament is on clay? The Davis Cup.

Going for YE#1 is a great goal, and with the way he's playing I don't put it past him. This is really phenomenal, no two ways about it. I doubt we'll ever see this again. A 32 year old playing tennis this way.

As to Rafa, I'm still mad at him. Health should always come first and taking unnecessary risks is not smart.
