agreed.
he said "winning is energy".
sort of like saying what winning is like a drug.
lets just hope and pray that he realizes that now he really is in a race against the clock.
next year started right after the miserable campaign at RG. and not next year because next year never comes.
now I am hoping that he wastes no more time and just jumps on the red clay after Wimbledon to keep improving.
clay is the wellspring from which he flows. clay is the only thing that can get him back in the game against the top guns.
he has to turn his ground game into a well oiled machine once again. I know he can do it but that time is now.
and one last thing: he has to ditch that miserable slice. about 1/2 the time they just bury it down his throat. other 1/2 the time it just puts him in a defensive position.
he himself has said repeatedly that his backhand let him down. he has to trust the instrument. he had one of the greatest backhands on the planet once.
it is a great backhand. he has to engage it to control the center of the court better.
it will make the game easier.
I don't know why he has abandoned his background. It's weird. But, why do you think he needs to get back on the clay so early? There's more to consider than RG. Ten would be great, but nine is fine, too. He plays well on all surfaces. I think he just work hard. He's capable of winning on hard, grass, and clay. If that's what he decides to do.
