CAMELOT FANTASIES

hola hercules and castle!

i am back from holiday, completely tanned and looking brown like nadal...... missed almost the entire AO but just in time for the final......

i was so sure wawrinka was going to pose problems for djokovic, i actually wanted to watch that match but couldn't......i saw the highlights today, wawrinka was superb.......too bad he is going to lose to nadal tomorrow but i will take the result as it will only tie rafa with the great pete and also one step closer to the all time tally.......

djokovic seriously needs to rethink his strategy against the likes of wawrinka, haas, dimitrov.......he is having problems picking which way the backhands are directed and hence losing half a second in the rally.......add to that his problems against slice......slice really takes away the zing off his backhand, neutralizes the rally completely and puts him on the defense.......

morning general shanks.

stan played the match of his life against nole. he hung in there and waited for his opportunities.


nole caved just a little bit in the very end under the relentless pressure.

this pressure came in 2 forms:

1. pressure of stan's game

2. pressure of defending the crown


he must have felt that his chances might slip away and sure enough they did.



stan learned a lot from his match against nole in 2013 right here. he came in with a solid plan and executed it to near perfection.
