Rafa confirms he'll play at the Mexican Open in February
 

Old news bud. I think CMM made a thread/post about it already.

Apologies mate - I had a quick look down the board and didn't see anything.

Incredible. Nadal looks to be winning 8+ titles at not only Roland Garros, Monte Carlo, Rome and Barcelona, but Acapulco too, assuming Nadal will play until at least age 32. And since he's playing more and more clay-court events, he might be able to win 8+ titles at Nice, Hamburg and other clay-court tournaments too. A fitting career for the most dominant player in tennis history.

Everything's good man. A thread is good.

He'll play in Acapulco, until he pulls out again.

Way to reaffirm dirtballer status by adding even more dirtball tournaments into his schedule. He'll lose there anyway,but he doesn't care because he's getting $$$$ to show up.

Yeah tell me who going to beat Nadal on clay. Especially a 500 where there is no Roger, Novak.

Aren't you supposed to be a fan of Nadal's?

He's not a Nadal fan.

Fan,not ****. They are not the same thing.

You mean he's not a supporter of deity Rafa.

I'm a she contrary what ********* and his multiple personalites says.

This is an interesting move for Rafa. I wonder how the rest of his schedule will look. Will he drop IW or Miami? Will he add other clay events? I look forward to seeing his schedule.

he won't lose (unless he just does not give the slightest crap at all) but I agree it's weird. It's like he's going back to 2005 where he won a crapload of minor titles on clay. If he adds more clay tournaments like 2005 it'll just seem he's after easy points.

Man, what a meme! :)

You mean like all the guys who skip clay and go and play on hardcourts? :???:

What are you talking about? I'm talking about playing minor clay events. The 3 masters and RG and maybe one more clay title is a reasonable amount given the way the tour is structured. If Nadal went back to playing many clay events that would be easy point grabbing- why win a masters when you're sure of winning 3-4 500s on clay and getting more than a masters anyway. Not saying he willplay loads of clay titles, just wondering.

he would be out of his mind if he dropped a masters for some silly unimportant tournament like Acapulco
