CAMELOT FANTASIES

he said he was tired after his match with verdasco in Melbourne.

and he says he feels tired after this match against Dominic.


he lost early in Melbourne. he has had all this time to work a little bit on his fitness and to put in some extra training on clay.


he is simply not doing what is required even for minimum standard at this level.


he has found himself on the golf course at least 4 times since that loss in Melbourne. and then there are other promotional and sponsorship driven appearances all over the place.


he doesn't have to worry about Djokovic now. he really cant win more than a match or 2 at any event at this current rate so he will never face Djokovic again.


of course Djokovic also doesn't have to play chicken **** 250 level events either so we know there is no chance of running into Djokovic there.


the problem is that of insufficient motivation. Rafa simply doesn't care to win anymore and he wont win.


we all are going to have to live with that.


it absolutely makes no sense but keep showing up time and again with horrible preparation and yet that is exactly what he is doing.


the man is not just worn out after the match. he is essentially worn out after just 40 minutes into the match.


he doubles over while holding the net after just 20-30 minutes of practice. his 2 hour practice sessions are really just 90 minutes of farting around from his backhand corner where he hits forehands. is it any wonder then why has little or no consistency.


and once in a blue moon he can get himself to hit a few backhands.


he does go to the gym but not regularly and it is just token/cosmetic work at best. absolutely zero gains are being made on the fitness front.


he himself said that he has to improve physically.


no **** Sherlock. you really should be ashamed of yourself now. there are guy out there nearly 10 years older that are putting in an immense of time on the fitness front and also doing tons of physical work in the gym.

he has no fitness and barely just 30% of his ground game.


Rafa as we knew him is done. we will just have to celebrate his 14 majors and relive them from time to time.


that is all we have left. who the hell cares to watch him play at such pathetic levels. I rather remember him as the gladiator he once was.



I cant even bear to watch the highlights. it just shatters my heart.
