CAMELOT FANTASIES

once he is in the final, he will be going to town. I know he will take nole down in straights or 4 sets this time.


the bookies have nole as the favorite. stan says he is one the favorites. and on and on it goes.


I just hope all this motivates rafa like never before. its his crown and his head that they all want.

it is absolutely of staggering importance that he is able to hold on to his title as the king of clay for 2 more years.


clay is still the wellspring from which he flows. he will find it very hard to win at other events and other surfaces if he cant stop them all at RG.

this will end all the premature talk on the part of others and set him up nicely for a run at another U.S. Open title as well.

I think we all know that this will have a major historical importance as he will tie pete Sampras with 14 majors.


I said long ago that this was the single most important clay season of his career and it is.


it will take him a while to get going here. there will be some trials and tribulations. I can stop worrying once he lands in the semis and the final. that is where he will hit his stride.

Oh, them and they're favorites? Pshaw! They don't know nothing (yeah I said, double negative and all). I don't know why they're overlooking Federer. I don't think Nole will get by him. And I for sure didn't think Wawrinka was going to do anything here.

He fluked a major with an injured player. That's not proof of his ascendancy. Leopards don't change their spots that quickly, if at all. I think Stan will have spurts, but I have a hard time seeing him sustain his play consistently.

I saw an interview that he did where he considered himself a favorite, and I was like get out of town. The only way he gets to that point is after a period of sustained excellence. He hasn't done that. He hasn't had his trophy long enough to gather dust, and he's making such bold statements. Bye, Stan.
