CAMELOT FANTASIES

stan has the same problem every other single hander has on the tour in modern tennis in my estimation:


single hander has too many variables. it is not consistent enough for the modern game. roger did well with it because every other aspect of roger's game was world class. his serve was among the biggest in history for example. his forehand was one of the greatest ever. and so on.


you can do well here and there with a single hander and even have a great tournament but you cant consistently dominate with a single hander in modern tennis.


stan had a tournament of his lifetime in Melbourne and now its over. it will be very difficult to repeat that success and that type of performance.

I agree, but more importantly Stan has a weak mentality. I can't see him doing considerable damage on a consistent basis. He was very fortunate to get that major, but it took an injured player who could barely move to do that. Even in a compromised state Rafa was able to take a set off of him.

With the fact that Rafa could barely move, that should have been a blowout. So, not a fan of Stan.

Pllus, for him to be in his first major final and to start that bullcrap with Rafa told me everything I needed to know about Stan. Then, after he wins he starts proclaiming how he and Roger were candidates for the Davis Cup, I was like, OK, this guy is losing. He also said he was a contender being Novak, Rafa, and Federer for the French.

Seriously? What is wrong with this guy? He needed that 1st round loss to bring his ego back to size. He hasn't done enough to talk so big. Shut up, Stan, you big bore.
