lady TT's Rant and Rave show is rocking.

it is nice to see Camelot being active again.

we have to reinvent Camelot to keep it going and to make sure we have our home forever but tennis is in our blood.

we will never let go of tennis because we just cant. we bleed tennis.

Clay, I felt like saying things when I went kinda quiet but didn't want people to be sick of "hearing" me with their minds "ears" so to speak & didn't want anyone to think I was "up myself" thinking I was so good when I wasn't so to speak by having too much to say. Sometimes I thought that what I had to say wasn't relevant to what was being said & if I want to join in & have a laugh I have to ensure I either have something relevant to say or explain my ignorance in certain areas & ask questions. Niceties are important too. I hope that if anybody ever has a problem with me they'll tell me privately, euphemistically, diplomatically & tactfully like the civilised human beings we are. I can also be too conscientious for my own good at times. I know you offer everyone freedom but I always feel the necessity to answer them as soon as possible after they've asked me a question & feel guilty if I haven't & I know I regulate myself too strictly sometimes. I've also been working on those pieces I said I was doing.

I have, Clay, but to tell you the truth I still live at home with my parents. I care for my Mother as she is disabled & Father is elderly. Dad has sole control of the remote control & doesn't watch tennis. I only watch selected t.v. programmes & D.V.D.'s when my sister takes my parents out shopping or to her house to give me a break. The rest of my time when I'm not working or when I'm waiting for the washing machine I read. I'm trying to sort out my books but keep getting ideas for short stories, poems songs & more innovative pieces which I need to get down so take longer. Then people buy me other books which means it takes longer still. I used to play tennis myself in high school but was only good at serving. I've forgotten how the scoring system works.

EquineAnn · « **Reply #3005 on:** November 02, 2015, 03:34:39 pm »

I think that's a great idea as it reflects the fact that people have many different interests & know about many things so it makes things more interesting.

nobody has any issues with anybody lady Ann.

everybody is free as the wind at Camelot and people just do their own thing.

it is a very busy world and people just post when they can.

our only deal is that we don't have about 700 members here. it is a very small family.

I have speculated that we need around 700 members. and out of those 700 we could easily see about 20-25-30 interacting a little bit.

but the forums are different now. most of them are dying out or quite inactive.

we do the best we can here. it is our home for life. we will just enjoy it.

it is our Camelot and nobody can tell us what to do here. we just do whatever we please and we try to share with the world the best we can.

I'm glad everyone gets on well, Clay. I know everyone is busy, me included. I know. It's just what runs through my little head at times. I can't help it. I'm overly conscientious & my head goes about 10 times faster than the rest of me can deal with. I write my poems here 1st then copy & paste them to my fans on twitter & in D.M.'s there. I've got a few fans who can't get enough of my works especially my poems. Thank you very much, Clay. I am free to say what I want as often as I want then.

this is where it has to begin or its no cigar. clay is the wellspring from which he flows. if he cant dominate them on clay then he is not beating them anywhere else.

he has to prepare properly for the clay season this time around otherwise he will exit the sport at the end of 2016. that is the only logical conclusion.

I firmly believe that 2016 is the last time we will see him on the tour unless he can change his training and his fitness to make an impact on the clay season.

nobody really wants to see him this way either. lets face the music right. he is not winning any titles on any surface at this current rate.

Clay Death · « **Reply #3009 on:** November 03, 2015, 12:00:43 pm »

this man offers you all the inspiration you will ever need. he has well over $400 million in the bank. he has 4 kids and a wife at home.

still he is driven to achieve more. he is still winning masters events and he is still a contender in slams.

and he is pushing 35.

he goes to the gym and he stretches at least 2 times a day. he is focused, driven, and working hard on his fitness.

he is not achieving all these results by accident. you have to make a few sacrifices and you have to set some goals. and then you try to go after them.

Clay Death · « **Reply #3010 on:** November 03, 2015, 02:51:47 pm »

Rafa lost his doubles match but I fully expected it.

I figured he would get 1-2 matches in doubles and 1-2 in singles here in Bercy.

also it is totally pointless to work like a dog here only to risk injury in this current state.

finally what purpose does it serve to try to get to the final just to be humiliated by Djokovic who is fully prepared and focused.

I am just worried about the injury. it is perfectly ok if he exits quickly here. it will be a blessing in disguise as they say.

he has had to call the trainer at his last 4 events.

Super posts general.

I confess I was a little surprised Paes and Nadal didn't do better. 42 year old Paes is and has been one of the best doubles players in the world. He and Martina Hingis teamed up for 3 mixed doubles slams this year on the hard courts of Australian Open and US Open and the grass at Wimbledon, and if I recall correctly, he won the US Open doubles in 2013 with Stepanek. I guess he and Nadal just didn't mesh as they were hustled out 3 & 4 in an hour by Inglot and Lindstedt

But as you say, it's probably for the best. I'm not sure he gets much out of doubles anyway General.

Tomorrow, Rosol again plays Nadal, and Seppi again plays Federer and Coric plays Murray. NoDjok got through today against Bellucci.

Respectfully,
masterclass

rafa just wasted his time with this foolish doubles activity. he wasted a whole day basically.

he could have used this day to get in about 3 hours of practice with some concentrated work on the serve, the return of serve, and the topspin backhand.

and that could have served him well tomorrow.

last time these 2 met, rosol took the first set in 23 minutes and lost just one point on his first serve.

again I can only arrive at one conclusion: failing to plan is planning to fail. and that is what he is doing. he is failing.

he is not only not working hard enough, he is also not working smart enough.

he can win if he wants to. he just has to go get on clay and work out his ground game issues.

and he has to go and start doing serious work on the fitness front. and that is how he can turn things around.

Lady TT, Please post a link if you find the match on the internet. I'll do the same.

I personally think Rafa and Roger's best matches from a competitive point of view were on the soft surfaces grass - 2007 & 2008, and a few on clay (like Rome 2006), but not many, pretty much where their peak play crossed. Their hard court matches, not so much, bleah. They play either on slow high bouncing courts like Miami or indoor low bouncing courts like WTF, Basel, and the differences are accentuated.

Respectfully,
masterclass

Ha ha ha. I was going to post that to you. The Tennis Channel hasn't re-run it because of Paris. Where's CETSvids when we need him? I really want to see what I didn't see.
