CAMELOT FANTASIES

great post general masterclass.



that is the big worry now. he opens himself to countless injuries with such a depleted physical state.



he said that he was going to come back stronger next year. I thought that would mean that he starts on that now.


but we are seeing exactly zero signs of that "stronger next year so I can be more competitive" happening.


he just keeps getting worse and his physical condition keeps deteriorating.


his practice sessions are weaker than ever. he just stands in his backhand corner hitting a few forehands. 90 minute workouts are nearly token workouts at best.



he basically has no ground game now. the hit in his ground game stands at about 90% now. the depleted physical state makes the ground game that much worse.

it is has killed his court positioning so there is no consistency.


the casualties are very heavy in all areas. that is a direct result of his refusal to work on his game and his fitness.


he gets worn out there after 40 minutes of hard play. that is why he starts to spray the balls. with no energy and will he just checks out.



I am afraid all signs point to the end. he is not really bringing about that "stronger next year".


that stronger next year should have started right after RG.


sad and tragic as it may sound for us the fans and the sport, he simply does not want it bad enough.


this is the man who had the greatest ground game the world has ever known. he owned winning records against all top 30 players.


no other all time great has dropped that rapidly before. so if he does not walk away now and just go work on his fitness and his game on clay, the end is pretty much here.


next injury is also quite likely with such a depleted physical state.



I am worried about it.



more on this later.
