CAMELOT FANTASIES

Yep, I spent the whole day today at the Davis Cup matches. Andy against Young was a snoozefest, Andy outplayed him thoroughly. The second match was a thriller but it was so sad watching Sam Querrey's game collapse like that at the end, broken 5 times in a row at 4:3 in the fourth after not being broken even once until then!

My seat was way up in the stands so the pictures I took are not very good. There is only this one of the venue, a beautiful claycourt built at the baseball stadium in my city.

I did see some highlights of the match this morning and it did seem Andy was dominating the match from both wings. Young barely shook Andy's hand at the net after the match. He can be a bit of a prick - this Young.

From Andy fan perspective it was a very good match since Andy was so on and confident but from a general fan's perspective I am sure it was a snoozefest since Young wasn't able to much about it.

As to Querrey, I am not sure what happened but the result is somewhat surprising. I've seen Ward a bit at the Queens I think a couple of years ago. Not a bad player to be honest. To be fair Querrey is not in form lately so it wasn't totally unexpected. And Andy always tends to motivate his team. He brings a lot of positive energy to the team so it's possible he rubbed a lot of it off on Ward.

Thanks for that lovely picture btw.
