CAMELOT FANTASIES

Before I go out and making myself ready I always make myself coffee with milk and sugar pluss some cheap scotch.
It depends what i am doing what kind of scotch I like.

AO exhausts me to no end because of the time difference. I become like a walking talking zombie during it. Still, it's very exciting. Really looking forward to see Andy there, hopefully, finger crossed.

welcome to Camelot general Backspin.


2014 is going to be one of the most exciting years in tennis in recent memory.

the big 4 are back.


roger is going to be much stronger in 2014.


and now del potro is also significantly improved.

Australian Open update:


just 35 days to go now.

that is spot on general backspin.

I will go one step further: when he is serving well, returning well, and hitting his backhand with confidence, he usually takes the tournament.


that would make anybody difficult to beat but especially Rafa who has all that mental toughness thing going too.

his mental tenacity gets him through in close battles at times.

I hope Rafa wins this and gets the double career slam. He will need to serve well and return as well as he did in Montreal.

affirmative.

that is absolutely key on the hard courts:


you have to take care of your serve and you have to be able to return well enough to secure your break points.




nadal is my pick for the title at the Australian open.


 

I've noticed that whenever Rafa serves well, he ends up winning the tournament more times than not. In his victories over Novak in 2013, I think he was returning better than Novak.

here is a question for you general backspin:

if Rafa could have only one of these, which one would you suggest that he take?


1. a great serve

or

2. a great return of serve



by the way nole has both which is why he is so tough to deal with on hard courts.
