thinking focus tennis
The next point - that's all you must think about.
beat concerned desire himself maybe points says usual win
He wasn't his usual self, with that desire to win points and how he says to players: 'You have to beat me', ... Maybe he was concerned on getting himself right for the US Open.
against amazing bet certainly good plays
That's a pretty good start, and he's 24. It's certainly amazing how well he plays in the finals. I wouldn't bet against him.
age age-and-aging issue looking matches winning
I think age is not really an issue when you're looking at someone like Roger. He could be 31, 32 and be winning matches if the desire's there.
against bet talent
I wouldn't bet against him. He's got so much talent.
