CAMELOT FANTASIES

That was a good comeback from Rafa.  The first set was very poor.  But he dug in early in the second set and fended off break points from Verdasco and it gave him some confidence and Verdasco hung his head.  The 6-1, 6-1 second and third sets were not quite as easy as it looks, but Rafa got the job done with room to spare.

By the way, his doubles partner 18 year old Munar won his first ATP match when GGL suddenly retired after 3 games.  The win will probably be good enough for him to jump into the top 500 from #683 where he was before the tournament.

Respectfully,
masterclass

rafa needs clay if he is to ever get back to a decent level.


clay is the wellspring from which he flows.


46 clay titles spell that out a little too clearly.




it is going to be a very long road back but he can do it if he dedicates himself to the sport completely.

single minded focus and 7-8 hours of training a day or no cigar.
