CAMELOT FANTASIES

morning sports fans.

weekend is here at last.


it is looking like a Federer vs Nole final to me.


and in that final, both should have their chances. no telling right now who is going to snatch it.

the courts are not fast enough so if I was forced to make a pick right now I would have to give the slight edge to Nole.

That about sums it up general as I said in my full wrap up in the Indian Wells thread.  A very even match overall.  Could have gone either way, but as you said a poor tiebreaker effort by Federer with 3 or 4 unforced errors on his serve.   He didn't deserve to win with that stuff. 

But it was still a good tournament for him, and he moves up to #5.  I'm not sure he'll play in Miami.  He skipped it last year.  He could play a couple of matches get the points he needs to pass Ferrer for 4th position, but I don't think he'll decide to play for that.  He'll probably judge how his body feels and whether it's worth making the effort, or if he should just start his training block early prior to starting on the clay in Madrid.

Novak has to have some confidence back, and looks good for Miami where the conditions are also slow, probably slower, since the air is much more humid than in the desert.   His biggest concern has to be his failure to serve out matches recently.  He was fortunate it didn't cost him this tournament, as it happened more than once.

Respectfully,
masterclass

tough break for Federer and for his fans. I was so sure that he was taking this.

he played a poor tiebreaker and it cost him. the forehand failed him in the clutch when he had to have it.

congrats to nole and his fans.

well done.

And you don't think Nole played poor at 5-4 to give away the break while he was serving for the match? Well, aren't we biased.

Federer never had a chance since Nole was always leading the final set and the TB. I am not sure why some of you are choosing to see it otherwise when it should be so painfully obvious to you. But anyway, I know where you guys are coming from anyway, so be it if that's what makes you happy about your player. I can't be bothered with it anymore.

we will continue to bother you emma.




 


you are sexy when you are bothered.

 

general masterclass what are your thoughts on the 5th slam?


do we really need one? and if so, what would be your suggestion as to where it takes place?

China? South America? Madrid?

South America should get one if there is to be a fifth slam. They've contributed greatly to the sport of tennis.
