Indian wells - woo hoo !!

Someone said Rafa is finished.

Hes 32 this June.

Now, his play style does rely on him belting opponents off the court.

However, there is nothing to say that he can't or won't reinvent himself a little and go up a level.

Imagine we had written off Fed at the same age! the cliff is coming for Federer.  When it arrives (as in too old to compete anymore), the others will get their chance to do what he has done recently.

Djokovic has struggled for the first time in his career over the last 12-18 months.  That won't continue, and he too is another who has plenty of time on his side.

I think Nadal is close to finished. The injuries keep coming, his game sylte has and is aking a heavy toll - as all, Rafa included, no doubt well knew. Rafa also needs to play lots to get into his groove....Federer, by contrast can come back from a modest break hitting better than ever.

I think Federer will play the French now. If Rafa's half baked, ditto Nole, another GS is there for the taking....

Nole, he's had to modify his service action big time, that's got to play with his mind. No guarantees he will ever play at the level he once did (but yeah, more time on his side than Rafa agreed).

Then there's sooky Andy - who cares about him really!
