CAMELOT FANTASIES

Affirmative general hercules.

And Mahut and Federer got it done.  They beat the doubles top seeds earlier today, 7-5, 7-6(5).

Highlights - 0:47 - 1:10 = sublime



Notice how in doubles, Federer returns quite differently.  He's more aggressive and placement is more precise because it has to be.  You can't block back floating returns in doubles and get away with it.  Doubles also helps him work on his service placement, which is also very important in doubles.  And of course, net play and reflex volleys and half volleys are also at a premium.  One gets plenty of work with overheads as well.  The main thing he has to bring back from his doubles game to singles is the return.  He needs to be more aggressive on return when given the opportunity.  So, as we've discussed, doubles helps  Federer tune his game.
