I'm not convinced that he is out of shape.Maybe.That is not a guy carrying a lot of extra weight.Maybe 5-10.I just think that, genetically, some people are simply not made to have as much stamina as we assume.We assume all human athletes have great stamina.That's because those without stamina don't make it very far in most sports(especially tennis.)Might just be a case where a rare low stamina athlete makes it on T.V.,because he has so much shot-making talent. Joggers tend to think everybody can run as far as they do(if they keep trying to do it,)but I think joggers are high stamina humans to begin with(or else they would hate jogging.)I am not convinced that more cardio (and less body weight )is gunna get Baghdatis to stop huffin n' puffin.I hope your right,and I am wrong.The truth is probably in between the 2 views.
