CAMELOT FANTASIES

Really nicely said Lady TT.  We sometimes forget that even the greatest sports stars are human too.
They get tired, they get hurt, they get bored, they long for a different life or "normal life".

These are not necessarily easy or tough decisions, it depends on the person. But when those moments come, we as tennis fans should support their decisions and choices. 

But we also can't write players off.  Sometimes they need a freshening of the body, mind, and spirit, and then they are ready to excel in the arena again.

I, for one, will see what happens, and I wish Rafa well, and as long as he is playing, I will continue to offer my humble opinions, suggestions, etc. for what it is worth.

Respectfully,
