CAMELOT FANTASIES

General Hercules, Nadal scraped by today in a hard fought two sets, 6-4, 7-6(2).
But he looked very poor, especially in the second set, as he was tiring.

I think any better player than Vesely, and he would have lost.

Rafa embarrassingly had match point at 5-4 and lost the game with a DF that point and a DF on break point.  He barely made the net he was so nervous.  Distressing to watch by any tennis fan.  But fortunately for Rafa, Vesely was not much better and handed the tiebreaker to Rafa with some poor errors.

Rafa had some very good points, and bad as well, especially on the forehand side.

He needs a lot of work.  I changed my mind.  I don't know if he can win this tournament. 
He needs to improve at least 50% from where he is right now. 

He had around 33 errors in 2 sets on clay.  He used to go 4, maybe 5 matches on clay without making that many total. 

As Federer and we have said, Rafa needs lots of work in practice, general.

I'll put the video up when it is available.

Respectfully,
