CAMELOT FANTASIES

What pressure?


He says he deserves to be number 10.


How can there be pressure?


He said slams are not important.


He is losing for one simple reason:


He does not want it bad enough.


He won't put in the time in the practice courts.


He simply refuses to work on his game and his fitness.

If all of the parts aren't working then that's true. I think he should be number ten too, based on the way he's playing. Maybe he needs more time this time around. Sometimes your best efforts aren't enough. It's happens. Everyone has lulls. It's a part of life and a part of sports. I loved his interview I thought it was very honest.

I'm not into brash talking about future events. In the end it doesn't matter what a person says anyway, but what's going to be is going to be. The first person you have to be honest with is yourself. That's what makes Rafa a great champion. He's not worried about what others say and think, he's worried about himself and that's the way it should be.

Why would he be concentrating on slams and legacy at this point? He's got to get his game back first. He has to work on his concentration, his fitness, his backhand, his reaction time, his decision-making in the big moments. He's got a lot to work on. To take time away from that to worry about the slam haul would be crazy, to me. That's running before you walk. The reality is that at first you're going to be wobbly, then you'll gain your footing, only then can you run.

Andy had his dip when he came back and it took a while. Now he's back playing his best tennis.

Federer had his struggles in 2013, and now he's back.

Novak hasn't won multiple slams since 2011, and he's been healthy.

Everyone has their down times and when they do, you have to accept because you know what's inside of you even if others don't.

Agreed Lady TT,  well said. He can do it if the mind and body are willing. 

Respectfully,
