I think h...I think he'll be fine mentally, TopSpin. I think he's gotten past that stage. He's already been wishy-washy and he'll handle the success. Clay? Well, I guess we'll see about that. I personally have never been able to understand why players can't play well on all surfaces, especially men. Why are women never labeled as "clay-courters"?Nafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13980920774218677051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22229210.post-48217810679724709502008-10-23T07:22:00.000-04:002008-10-23T07:22:00.000-04:00Hey Naf - It was good to see Ivanovic's return to ...Hey Naf - It was good to see Ivanovic's return to decent form; great to see Venus bag a second title too, but long overdue IMO.<BR/><BR/>Murray is certainly part the top 4 now however, it will be interesting to see how he copes with any dips in form next year. He also needs to prove himself on clay - not his favourite surface.<BR/><BR/>http://tennisisserved.blogspot.commZafarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909444215193865334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22229210.post-53728949291053510912008-10-22T17:40:00.000-04:002008-10-22T17:40:00.000-04:00Hi Babz!

When we know it's winnable but... oh hell what am I saying. I don't know jack s*** about tennis in practice.<BR/><BR/>It's just frustrating to watch sometimes.
