CAMELOT FANTASIES

the news is not good. I am worried to death.


his back continues to cause problems. I don't think he will be really ready until the clay season.


he also will not stop playing and practicing on the bloody hard courts.



I would have cut back a little by now anyway.

I agree. I don't see him being ready in Australia. There's just not enough time, but he can't just play the clay court season, so what's he supposed to do? It's just messed up if you ask me.

This year was a horrible tennis year for me. It started in Oz when the back went out in the final. Wimbledon, and missing the entire US hard court season. It's amazing that he was able to win The French, but I am eternally grateful for that.

The bad thing is that if he plays the hard court season, does he still win The French? I'm don't know.

My view of 2014 is a dismal one at best. The entire season was beset with weirdness.

Although Stan is a good player, he lacks consistency and believe. He also is showing himself to be an iffy winner.

Novak was distracted the middle part of the year with the baby and the wedding, but he sure came back good.

Andy? I'm starting to scratch my head on him. I'm hoping it was the tiredness, doubt, and emotional pressure. I'll wait to see what 2015 holds for him.

Dmitrov made a breakthrough, but some of the young guns such as Coric, Kyrgios, and Thiem looked hungrier and more confident. Raonic did his best, but outside of the serve, there's a lot of holes in his game.

I have to give the Shining Star to Federer for putting 2013 out of his mind, but don't think it was wise to play as much as he did. What a sad end to the year. I'm glad it's over.
