clay is the only thing that can help him get back on the right track.
he has to go get on clay as soon as Wimbledon is over.
clay is the wellspring from which he flows. 46 clay titles spell that out.
and if he refuses to get on clay after Wimbledon then prepare for even greater decline and greater free fall.
hard courts will mean only more injuries with the significant decline in fitness and physicality.
it is now time to back off he hard courts. I would think that he and his team would see that.
they went to Miami to collect the appearance fee. there was no need for that $1.5 million when you have nearly $300 million.
and each RG crown is worth over $30 million.
they went to Miami knowing they were giving up valuable and critical practice on clay.
there is still time but unless adjustments are made his best is long gone and there will be no more comebacks.
you are only given so many comebacks in a tennis career.
I for one will be forever sad because he was so close to the record. and he could have won 3 more RG crowns simply by not neglecting clay so much.
damn I am heartbroken over what he has done to himself.
he had the last 6 months to prepare for the single most critical clay season of his career and all he could do was give it minimal attention.
once again to put things in perspective, Fog had not won a single match in Barcelona in over 5 years.
this just went from being horribly unprepared to damn near hopeless.
