CAMELOT FANTASIES

I don't know if you have Tennis Channel, but it is so hit and miss. Their programming is both a blessing and a curse. A blessing because you can usually matches you might've missed on ESPN. But the curse is that they don't adjust the programming. So for example, if a WTA match is scheduled it can run over and tape as an ATP match.

That's what happened tonight. It only taped one and a half set of Rafa's match, so of course I didn't know if he won or not. I had to google to find out the result.

The good thing is that I'll be able to catch it tomorrow, but I'll have to tape Center Court which will rerun all of the matches and there's no way to determine when Rafa will come on.

It is so frustrating.

Anyway. Glad he won. I hope he's getting these matches in and feeling good about it. I know he has a lot of work to do, but I'm so glad to see him playing again, so I won't complain.

good afternoon lady TT.


he managed to get it done in 3 sets.



here is the order of play for today:

Ferru destroyed Fog as we knew he would.



Rafa is losing because of his significantly diminished fitness and some loss in focus.


he has to re-focus and rededicate himself to the sport. he has no business losing to these no names on clay.


he took on too many interests and is simply too big and too rich and too famous.


he also cant shake the hard courts. he has to start practicing and playing more on clay.


ferru is 1/2 the man rafa is and is also nearly 10 years older. he is winning because of his fitness and tremendous dedication to the sport.



right now I am really worried about Rafa. his practice sessions are the same where he avoids hitting backhands and just hits forehands from about a mile back.

he does not practice his return of serve. and the practice sessions are a lot shorter in duration.



nole is already on record for saying that he is going to make sure that Rafa does not win the French open.


for the first time in my life I am not sure what is going to happen at the French open.


rafa has to find a way to win monte carlo and beat nole in the final there.


and he has to win Barcelona and rome masters.


and then we know he is going to take RG.

it is just madness that they made a top player like Rafa play his match so late that he would finish up at 3:26 am.


what the hell were they thinking?

I am still furious about it.

Rafa was furious about it the night before. Starting a match past one o'clock in the morning? That's total BS.

What's new? At some point it may come true, but personally, I'm sick of Novak saying that every year. Do it, then.

It amazes me why people don't get on the court and let their racket do the talking. I'm not a fan of that type of behavior, because when you don't do it, you look like a fool. And even worse, when you don't learn from it, you like an even bigger fool.

Hopefully, (and I'm sure) Rafa is working hard and will be ready when the time comes, he uses Novak's words to motivate himself.

nole is overplaying his hand again.

he is seeing injured rafa and taking the opportunity to run his mouth.
