CAMELOT FANTASIES

Andy slipped a little bit after Cincy but I think he will bounce back.


he has to fix his serve.


Nishikori attacked his 2nd serve no less than 39 times in that match at Flushing Meadows.


you just cant allow that to happen if you are a top player and if you are nearly 6 foot 4.

If Mugray had a good serve (especially second serve) he would have many more slams.

But he's also a mental midget a lot of the time.  And he doesn't have the mental stamina that it takes to get to number 1 and stay there like Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic have.

He'll still probably be number 1 someday just be default, when Djokovic fades out, since there is no one else on the horizon.

you are right about that. only way he can make it to the top is by being opportunistic:

he simply has to be ready to snatch the wins if djokovic is not around or if he is injured.

that is exactly what happened at Wimbledon. djokovic was not there across the net in the final.

so for that reason I have advocated that andy needs to keep taking his fitness to the next level and be ready if the opportunities present themselves.


djokovic is simply too good when he is healthy and in sync. Andy, on the other hand, can never be good enough to deal with the likes of Djokovic because he does not have a dominating forehand.

you need a dominating forehand in modern tennis to rise to the top.

that is really andy's greatest liability.
