Straight sets this time?I dont know how Nadal will do at the AO but I agree on one thing. If he reaches Federer he wins that encounter for sure.

Why do some still insist on calling him Ralph?
How long did it take him to find his form after 09? I doubt he's going to come back much faster than that...
It seems only haters do it, so they must think it's offensive somehow?
It took him a long time, but I understand he was not fine and could barely stand to practice until he had the PRP treatment, so I don't know if it'd be the same this time.

Nadal? A mug? Hardly.Nadal ain't Fed because Fed isn't a colassal mug like Nadal is,so Fed fans have a whole lot more to be happy about than Nadal fans do. Fed is also the GOAT,and one of the most talented players to ever play the game. Nadal,otoh,is not. Fed fans should definitely cut their guy some slack considering all that he has achieved. If Nadal lands in Fed's half of the draw and by some miracle makes it to Fed,he will lose. Fed fans need to get real with this Fed can't beat Nadal stuff.
And yes my expectations of Nadal are as low as low gets.
Yes he does. Especially on hardcourts.
No, because he's not a mug. He has won a great deal on tour and is the best French Open player in the history of the open era. He's clearly one of the best, even if I am a "fan" of Federer, I can admit he's an extremely talented player.Yep. You don't agree?

He still goes long stretches of time without winning anything. Why does a player ranked as high as he is go a year or more without a title?

Nadal is different from other players in that he goes a while without a title at times, but when he does win, he usually picks up several. Most years in a 3 month span he wns at least 2 masters a slam and a 500. Some years he's added to that. Serious question, would you rather all these years he doesn't dominate clay but picks up one title every 2 months? And not even arguing about him dominating clay now or 2011 or whatever, but in 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2010 and 2012 he won RG and at least 2 of the clay masters which is domination.
Lol this is priceless. Last time Federer beat Nadal in a slam? 2007. Last time Nadal beat Djokovic in a slam? 6 months ago :lol: yet you won't stop the Nadal won't beat Djokovic crap. I have to hand it to you, sometimes you are a pretty good comedian.
Going a year+ in between titles for a guy ranked as high as he is is too long. That's what I was getting at.
So? And the last time Fed beat Nadal on outdoor hardcourt was in 2005 but he managed to do it this year didn't he? Fed ALWAYS has a chance against Nadal no matter where they play. Why do Fed fans write him off so quickly like this?

Nobody is going to look back and say "Nadal didn't win a title for five months, thus isn't the true force behind clay". They're going to look back and say "wow, Nadal has 27 Masters and has won Roland Garros a record 10 times! This guy is the clay GOAT for sure". It doesn't matter that he goes long stretches without winning, as long as wins them.Going a year+ in between titles for a guy ranked as high as he is is too long. That's what I was getting at.
That's true, Federer does always have a chance - outside slams. Depending on how Nadal is when he gets back, Federer may have a chance against Nadal in slams, too.So?

You obviously don't read the entirety of my posts. I am a fan of all the top four, but prefer Federer over the others.Nadal is indeed very talented but you're the farthest thing possible from being a Fed fan.
Furthermore it's not "hard" for you to admit Nadal's very talented given the fact that he's your hero/idol, though of course you don't "love" Nadal as nearly as much as you hate Fed (with whom you're obsessed basically).
Ah, the delicious irony in this post :lol:

I think Nadal is more of a talented athlete than a talented tennis player. Player's like Fed and Djesus are talented at tennis more than Nadal is.
Surly You don't get to 11 slams just by being a talented athlete. Nadal is more than just a physical player, he does have tennis skills as well you know, despite what trolls say.
Believe what you want, I don't care.No, you absolutely don't, sell that crap to someone else.
Believe what you want, I don't care.
Believe what you want, I don't care.
He seems like a very opinionated person.Zagor believes Nadal played the best tennis of his life by an overwhelming margin against Fed last year at the WTF where he hit a total of 3 whole winners and got bageled. That should be enough to tell you he is utterly hopeless. Lol.

"I would like to return in January. I don’t expect to return and win the Australian Open, I have to be realistic."

He does have some tennis skills(not nearly as much as Fed or Cvac)but his main talent is his athletic ability. Nadal without his physicality does not win 11 slams. He's not talented enough tennis wise to do it.

Zag is one of the best posters on this site. He just has a bit of thing about outing 'faux' Sexi fans.
Rafa hasn't been a year without titles, he wouldn't have won a slam each year then.You've heard trolls too much. Of course Nadal is very talented.
Maybe, but he's also full of it when he says Nadal played the best tennis of his life by an overwhelming margin at the WTF last year against Fed. That is so much nonsense that I can't believe anyone could defend such a comment.

I was doing what you do all the time dear Clarky-trolling.I do think Nadal played high level of tennis overall in 2011 (which would have probably been his best year ever without Novak 2.0) but not at WTF, it was one of his poorer performances in that tourney (still better than 2009 WTF).
No, you actually believe that because you even repeated it again after I said it was nonsense. I can also buy that you would think that way since you infected just about every Nadal match thread last year praising his supposed high level of play when everyone else on the planet could see he was playing like mess.

Yes he has, and the second part makes no sense.
Yes, athletically. Tennis wise he is lagging behind by quite a bit.
