CAMELOT FANTASIES

Rafa said he gets tired a little bit too early.


I don't understand why he won't fix the fitness issue when he and his team knows he is tired after just 40 minutes of play.

Practice harder with better focus and do more work with fitness. That will start to fix things.

I read that where he said he got tired in the first set. He wasted two sets yesterday and Thursday going an extra set in both matches where he had sizable leads and many opportunities.

But it will take some time. I'm sure this week will give him the motivation to get fitter. I still think he's moving in the righ direction, though. A few more tournaments and he'll get better week by week. There were some missed opportunities too, like the 0-40 game. Argh!

Still, for it to be one of the bigger tournaments, points wise, I think he did great, plus he added a few more points since he went out in the quarters last year to Ferrer.

Novak was playing great this week, so I expected it. And I know you're not giving up on Rafa we are fans till the end.

For Rafa to not be in game ready, he did alright. It's only going to get better from here.
