James Blake. One of the most exciting players on the ATP tour. Explosive power, great personality, sportsmanship, fantastic returns and a killer forehand. Always positive. Always going for the lines.
That was four years ago. Now he is still going for the lines, but the shot lands a meter or two out. I hope he can get back to normal form, but after watching the first 30 minutes of the Cincinnati Masters match against Denis Istomin I have my doubts. Maybe it is time to put away the racket?
[If you want to know more about James Blake I recommend his autobiography "Breaking Back".]
