CAMELOT FANTASIES

he was actually spent in his last match.



we have to live with this general masterclass: he does not care to win anymore.


I also knew that he was going to bail in this match one way or another and he did.


it says it all on his face. he does not care to win anymore.


Sampras has this right: rafa is playing like he is retiring.


there is plenty of motivation from roger and serena but he does not care.



it was cool in hamburg. he had a very easy semifinal and he was spent after 40 minutes of play against Fog there.


he started cramping up and even threw up by one account.


he is spent force unless he starts logging in massive long yards on the fitness front.


this year is over for him and I cant see him winning any titles next year either at this current rate of decline.



this dramatic a decline for an all time great player still in his 20's is unprecedented.


he simply walked away from the sport.


and he was no ordinary all time great. he had the best ground game the world had ever seen and he had a winning record against all of the top 30 players.




it is sad and at the same it is not sad because we saw this coming as early as 2009.

more on this later.
