Very fair.
My only, very sligh...Great piece, Chris. Very fair.<br />My only, very slight objection is with the phrase "the remarkable turnaround he engineered". No doubt he has vastly improved in all areas, but "a remarkable turnaround"? I wouldn't go so far. Let's not forget that even in the days when he lost focus, had problems with the heat and health issues, even in those days, nobody was better than him except Roger and Rafa. He ended as the #3 player at the end-of-year rankings for 4 consecutive years. That's amazing consistency. <br />He was the best of the rest for 4 consecutive years. Now he's ready to try and be the best period. That's not really a turnaround. That's just plain improvement. He has always been moving in the same direction.Yolitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02115609535199782762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4205695212026339818.post-20009787065944345132011-04-10T18:58:58.201-07:002011-04-10T18:58:58.201-07:00For me, Novak remains a wrestling heel: the guy I ...For me, Novak remains a wrestling heel: the guy I love to root against. Impossible to criticize his play so far this year, his accuracy and flexibility and doggedness are amazing to see.<br /><br />But I still enjoy rooting against him and I hope he gets his butt handed to him by Rafa and/or Roger sometime soon on clay and/or grass =)alexduffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080439935800984053noreply@blogger.com
