CAMELOT FANTASIES

general masterclass you might as well fire up the great roger Federer thread at MTF.


he is going to snag another title.

Another correct prediction General. Well done sir.  Thread fired up yesterday and responses incoming.
Looking back at the beginning of thread when many "knowlegeable" people were saying he might reach 80, many of them Federer fans, saying he would need to play in 250's in far off places to reach so many.
And now he sits on # 81, with the indoor season to come, Basel, Paris, WTF, oh, and Davis Cup Final.
He has 9 finals this year and 4 titles. If he had had his forehand down with the new racquet earlier, he might have had 2 or 3 more titles, but the forehand kill shot took the longest to get right.

 Anyway, the main thing for him and all these players is staying healthy enough to compete. If these top guys like Novak, Rafa, Roger, Andy, are healthy, they are still going to win 9 out of 10 big tournaments. But you have to be able to be fit enough to play well to win!

Still astounding for me that Rafa just didn't go for surgery right away and be done with it. What is it, an overnight stay in the hospital and maybe a couple of weeks of recovery? So he might miss Basel, maybe Paris. But at least he is on the road to recovery early. Instead, he goes out and plays in a weakened state with Lopez, loses anyway, and now says he is going to try to postpone surgery till after the WTF.  How strong and fit can he be playing with appendicitis? I just don't know what is going on with these decisions. I hope it works out for him... but it worries me.

Respectfully,
