CAMELOT FANTASIES

Well the tennis world is certainly surprised.


No tennis expert was able to predict this exact outcome with these same scores.


These matches were really not all that close from my own vantage point.


how did that happen? I had to take a second look at the nishikori match last night to see how he managed such a huge upset.


same with cilic. how the hell did he hold his nerve and stay so calm and composed.

I wasn't too surprised TBH. Novak and Kei were 1-1 and Kei did serve Novak a bagel in one of their meetings. Kei is a wonderful player I think. He's beaten Federer, Djokovic, and had Nadal on the ropes in Madrid. He has a good mentality and Novak has been sketchy of late. Too much going on in his personal life and waiting on the  arrival of his baby. So, I wasn't too surprised.

Cilic also impressed me with his focus and determination. The way he mauled Berdych was downright embarrassing. He didn't seem to care about the H2H or anything else. He was on a mission. Then, in the Federer/Monfils (what a joke) match, Federer was playing horribly. Monfils should be ashamed of himself, Fed couldn't even find the court. To go on a walkabout and there's still two more sets to play is ridiculous. Monfils was hitting long and acting like he didn't even care. My last time watching him play anything, he really is a clown and an embarrassment to the sport.

I thought Fed had the wrong tactics in his match with Cilic. I don't know who has told Federer that he has an all court game, but he really needs to stay away from the net. He's starting to look like Roddick coming in on a wing and a prayer. I can't even count how many times he got passed and was nowhere near the ball. If I get a chance I'm going to go back and re watch it so that I can count how many passes Cilic made against him.

Anyway, it will be nice to see two new finalists. I like them both so may the best man win. I suppose as I watch it my heart will begin to palpitate more for one than the other, but right now I can't say who deserves it more. They both do.

Woz is improving again but none of these girls have any answers for Serena.

Serena is just too damn strong and has too big a serve.




Did you catch the mens final today?

Yes, that Serena is amazing. She has too many weapons and a mentality to match it. Hopefully Woz will get a major as she continues to improve, but I'd also like Halep and Jankovic (who I swore off several days ago) to win. It'll probably never happen though as Jelena lacks the killer instinct.

Cilic was in a zone after the 4th round. he did not drop a set after the 4th round.


just an amazing performance on such a big stage.

Agree. Cilic came to play and the composure he displayed was of championship mettle. I wonder where he goes from here. He seems to really believe, which is good to see.

i just keep waiting for Rafa. the sooner he gets back out there the better.



they say he is hitting backhands again but when i see the videos of his practice sessions all i see is forehands being hit.

i hear ya.



i just saw this on twitter:


Toni Nadal during his interview in Fora de joc on 15/09/2014 also said

Translated By Ericka Domenzáin

"Rafa hasn´t played bcs he was not prepared for the Davis Cup this week,butI could also say if he had to play righ now,he wouldn´t be ready either.However he will play on the 25 th in an enhibition match and he will attend Shangai and Pekin as well".

"The way he hurt his wrist was during a training session,it was indeed a bad movement he did and at the beginning we did some xrays and we didn´t think it was going to take his long".

"I wouldn´t say it has been a bad year,he won RG,Madrid,he was on the final at Australia Open.Then he was playing well at the beginning of the American season he had this injury".

"Rafa and all the team still have the willingness of playing and the excitement,regardless all the injuries,we are still willing to participate in more tournaments,and even if he is number 2 or 3 or 22,it doesn´t matter.Rafa goes day by day and he also trains his mind daily".

"He has been in the circuit since 2003 or so,and back then journalists kept saying he was going to have a short career due to his injuries that started very early,abd he always answered he was going to be trying in all the tournaments until he couldn´t do it anymore...that was more than 11 years ago"

"Abt the Davis Cup it is a shame that Spain didn´t make it and we have a lot of good players but it was not enough".

 "For caution Rafa doesn't hit yet the 2 handed backhand at full power" "We will leave for Astana on 24 September"
 This week he can reach maximum power,he doesn't have anything on the wrist anymore.The exho serves as exercise ".
