CAMELOT FANTASIES

Congrats to Federer and his fans! His 5th title of the year after having a down year in 2013 and 82 titles in total. That's a great achievement.

The final though didn't live up to the expectation. Goffin was too overwhelmed by the occasion especially against Federer and the crowd and wasn't able to deliver his true potential.  I do think he would have done better against Federer if this tournament was played somewhere else, but here, it was just too much for him. And the fact that he simply worships Federer didn't help him much either. Not saying he would have won but perhaps the final would have been more competitive.

But what a year Goffin is having though. I hope he does very well from next year and on. He's an utter delight to watch.

The Basel trophy is so much better looking than the Valencia one.
