moving on


Well the whole team here at fuzzy dunlop was pretty broken up about the final of the French on Sunday. Thanks to those who left comments to help cheer us up.

So the photo above hopefully captures what will happen in the next few weeks, with tennis transitioning from clay to grass and Rafa looking just a bit less sure of himself on the green side of things.

But I hope it does not symbolize another possibility: Rafa having moved on and Roger still stuck (mentally) on what happened on French clay. I doubt this will happen. I loved the funny, light and self-effacing way Roger began his speech after the RG final: "Oui, cest moi." At Wimbledon I expect him to make the same statement more forcefully with his game.

Aww...onward and upward! *hugs* :)

Great photo to illustrate the transition.

And we're not lacking in opinions on whether Roger is doomed or not, are we? It is that time of year, but hopefully, Wimbledon will stop that talk.

Your comment re your pic of Rafa on grass and Roger on clay turned out to be prescient!
