Reply #29: He Also Seems To Have A Slight Achilles Heel That I've Noticed Of Late...

If you watch him closely, his one handed backhand, especially in the back corner of the court, he pulls his racquet up and many times the ball flies OUT!

I saw Nole attack him there a lot and if I'm noticing this, I'm SURE the big players are too. I heard one announcer say recently that he might do well to get a good two-hander going. It's probably too late to finesse it though. However, he's won for so long with it I wonder if he would even consider it.

I've also heard some say it's because of his twin daughters that have caused him to lose some focus. Not sure I'm buying that one though. I do think he'll be around for a while, but he has begun to show cracks that my keep him in 3rd place for a while. He may have to watch Murray too because I really think Murray has a VERY GOOD GAME.

He's not my cup of tea and I know he and Nole are good friends, but I've never been able find myself wanting him to win. But he does have the ability and when he's on he's really on. He almost got Novak in the finals in Australia and THAT was a blistering long match. I thought Murray was going to win quite a few times during that one. But my guy pulled it out, a testament to his determination.

I don't see how his match with Jo-Willy won't be pressing down on him because IF he reaches the finals, he goes No. 1. A lot of pressure for anyone to withstand and Jo-Willy has been playing very well lately. He could take Nole and I'm sure I wouldn't place any bets if one were to ask me.

But... my heart is with "the djoker" and he's just so, so close! PLEASE, PLEASE!! Of course, Murray "could" do Rafa in and then Nole goes No. 1 anyway. I would love to see a Murray/Djokovic final! And Murray could win that one given that it's his home turf.

I love tennis and miss it when it's not front and center, but my stomach churns with each match when my guy is still in the running. Drives me crazy.

EVERYONE wants to win WIMBLEDON! It's the biggest of the big ones, still!
