[Senator Clay Davis]

So a few more thoughts now that I've gotten a little sleep...

- All praise to the Ljubicic. I don't know what he's said, or what he's tweaked, but whatever he did he's given Roger the confidence and belief of prime Federer again.
- This time last year I was talking about not caring about Roger winning anymore, just wanting to enjoy watching him play. Now I'm trying to resist the urge to get too greedy about how many more he can win. But with the state of the men's game in a bit of flux, he should probably be the favorite for two more majors this year, until we see Novak's return or someone else step it up.
- Roger's domination on serve is mostly about his domination with the second serve. Lots of guys dominate their first serve and win 80+% of the points. But Roger consistently is close to winning 60% of his second serve points. I'm also amazed that his second serve speed is often higher than even bigger servers. Cilic today for instance was around 93MPH avg second. Roger was right at 100MPH. Such an advantage to not take as much off
- I do think Roger will play Roland Garros this year. I see him playing Madrid as a tuneup, while skipping Miami. If number one is what he wants, then playing Dubai is the easiest way there. Expecting to defend all those points in Murica is asking a lot.
- I'm also starting to wonder if maybe Roger doesn't try and stay fit enough to give it a go at the 2020 Olympics. Singles gold is the only thing missing from his resume.
