that, my friend, is called The Baconator Burger from Wendy's.
I believe it is 2 quarter pound patties, something like 6 or 8 strips of bacon and two slices of cheese.
Pure american heart attack food.
Nadal will be come back and win the entire thing. He always does. Who is there to stand in his way? We all know the Rosol match was a fluke, he was injured. Djokovic is his pigeon now, and Federer was always his pigeon.
I thought the Olympics, okay, that's fine. That's a personal choice. I thought for sure we would see him in Toronto, but now he missed Toronto and Cincinnati. It's very surprising, because it was nothing that we heard of prior to the injury. He played so well on clay, and then actually seemed fine at Wimbledon. He had more time by losing earlier at Wimbledon. So it came as big surprise now, these two pull outs for me. Even the Olympics, too
I hope he'll be back for the [U.S.] Open."
Nadal is questionable for the U.S. Open
Ticker - Monday, August 13, 2012
Rafael Nadal tells the Spanish TV station Laverdad that he is questionable for the U.S. Open, which begins on August 27. Nadal has not played a tournament since Wimbledon due to tendonitis in his knees. "I don't know if I’ll be ready in time for the U.S. Open," he said. "I can't say yes or no. [The injury] is not the same as other years, and I have found it a little different."

Federer concerned for injured Nadal
Ticker - Monday, August 13, 2012
Roger Federer says he’s concerned about the health of his longtime rival, Rafael Nadal, who hasn't played since Wimbledon due to a knee injury.
"I was going to write him and check on him because I can't believe he's been out that long," Federer told reporters in Cincinnati. "I thought the Olympics, okay, that's fine. That's a personal choice. I thought for sure we would see him in Toronto, but now he missed Toronto and Cincinnati. It's very surprising, because it was nothing that we heard of prior to the injury. He played so well on clay, and then actually seemed fine at Wimbledon. He had more time by losing earlier at Wimbledon. So it came as big surprise now, these two pull outs for me. Even the Olympics, too. So I'm sad for him. I hope he'll be back for the [U.S.] Open."

Nadal injury could be way worse than 09.....looks like he aint in the Open this time. Federer looking worried....great to see that from a great ambassador. Truly think he misses Nadal like SW19 09!
Nadal bounced back from 7 losses in a row to Djokovic, so it's ridiculous to question Nadal's ability to respond to defeats.
If Nadal is out, nothing can stop Donald Young.

I still think he will play and will be moving about like a gazelle.

Just to be clear, Federer is worried for Nadal, not of. Class act.
I surely hope so.

That is because there is no knee issue. It was an excuse for the early loss at Wimbledon after cleaning up the clay season yet again

That thread has gone to the dawgs.
Federer is, of course, worried about the bigger picture. Tennis benefits from Nadal's appearance. And "Nadal is the greatest human in world history" as we have been reminded so often, so Roger is right in showing respect to someone greater and infinitely more talented than himself.
In any case, now there are so many players capable of beating Fred that Nadal being injured will hardly be cause for him to be secretly laughing.
Nadal more talented than Federer? You really believe that?
The only reason Nadal ever beat Federer is that he caught Fed on the downslide. Nadal, who I do like, is nothing more than a baseliner getting by on others mistakes. Even Nadal says Federer is better, even now!
LOL dude sentinel is a huge fed fan he just likes to play this game
Whoops Sorry Oddjack...did not notice your thread! I used diff sources ....though expected of the Nadal insider.
Wait, he would have 4 knees to complain about
I sawn what you dids right here
:lol:

It might interest you guys that I have spent SO MUCH time away from tennis, that 3-4 months ago as I started training my 11 year old son, I started learning about what racquets we use today, what players, strings, it's all new to me. Federer is like the Ali of Tennis, it's not just how great he is, but how good it looks, so I'm a fan!
It seems everyone today is a baseliner. I have started my son on a old wood 75 inch head. The result is that he's learned shot placement, footwork, arm strength, etc. Now he uses a PS BLX 90, and can really play. He just beat this 11 year old USTA championship winner.
The game certainly has changed, I don't like the baseliners, seem like they don't really play, seems like they just sit back, hit it as hard as possible without aiming, and hope for the other guy to make a mistake. (No offense to any baseliners), I'm just saying the game has changed.
Anyways, cool to be here, seems every night I'm looking up something tennis, I'm going to compete again as soon as I can get in shape and shake off what, 4 different injuries so far! I've spent the last 3 months on pain pills!
Utter crap. Federer is secretly laughing with glee on the inside, now that his biggest rival is no longer a threat at slams.
Its only a few more or less nutcases. But yes these people do a very bad job at following their idols example.Am I wrong when I notice that Fed and Nadal seem to respect each other more than fans of one player respecting the other player??
They probably don't downplay their achievements to each other, either.Am I wrong when I notice that Fed and Nadal seem to respect each other more than fans of one player respecting the other player??
Supposedly Fed wrote Nads to make sure he was okay, and then after hearing about his withdrawal he sent a singing telegram to express his sincerest apologies.
I know Federers old but seriously, WRITE to him?
Has this guy not heard of a phone? Surely these guys have secret personal facebook accounts to drop an inbox too.
Edit: lololololol, looks like everyone else has picked that up too.
