Nadal will retire rumors

[nn]

He has really bad knees and seems can't do anything about it.

Andre Agassi took some injection for back, but you can't take more than certain numbers, and Nadal exhausted the limit.

Hope whatever I heard was wrong because it will be a big loss for tennis.

He has not officially retired as of yet,but the amount of time he has been away from the game speaks volumes,imo. I wrote him off long ago for ever coming back,and I pretty much consider him done and dusted.


And I'm not so sure it's that big of a loss for the game. Tennis will survive without Nadal on the tour.

Not sure why Clarky is a Nadalfan if she doesn't think Rafa's good for the game.

Did I say that? I said that tennis will move on without him. It's not going to fold up just because Nadal retires. It's been chugging along for nearly 6 months without him hasn't it?

You are correct. Nadaltards like Mustard clearly have been following tennis and enjoying it just fine without Nadal playing. 2012 USO final for example wasn't any worse than 2011 or 2010 finals.

Yeah it will continue, but Nadal is still a big loss. Murray/Fed/Djokovic have been all playing some good tennis and distracting people, but I still think when nadal is gone for good it will be a sad day. Same for Federer and Djokovic (though you won't agree on Djokovic ) But these guys bring a lot to tennis, and without them it would still go on but it would be a bit boring.

Clarky never has a positive thing to say about Nadal. I've posted more positive things about Fed than Clarky has about Nadal.That should tell you a lot

I only stated the truth,or do you actually believe tennis would cease to exist without Nadal? The sport will move on like it always has.

So now he's saying he's going to retire?

No, he doesn't. At all. He's saying the opposite actually. He works out every day to get ready for practice.

A tennis world without Nadal scarcely bares thinking about.

It'd be a tough loss, but no one player is bigger than the game. Tennis lived after all the other greats retired, no reason to believe it won't if and when Nadal retires, and Fed, Muzza, Djok, etc.

And yet you are here talking about current WTF matches. Tennis will be just fine without Nadal.

That's why tennis was invented in 2005. Nothing that came before really counts, does it?

It's "bears" not "bares". It will be a shocking end to an extra ordinary career. Even as someone who won't miss his style and antics (everyone plays the same nowadays), I wouldn't wish his career end like that. I hope he comes back to play.

If Mustard wants to "baret" it, that's his business
