A player don't have to be injured in order to take the MTO, in case you didn't know. If a player decides to delay the match to regroup or weather the storm, he can call MTO anytime. The umpire has no idea if a player is really hurt or not anyway.

A player can also delay the match with a bathroom break. Fed's famous for his.

This is a terrible thread. Djokovic is pure class.

Oh, let me guess, vs. Davydenko at AO?

I always question speculation of anybody who would condemn a player for an injury suffered in a hard fought match, usually comments from a cheap shot artist. How would you know from where you sit how much pain a player is in? These guys put it on the line every day, i respect that.

Even if someone runs onto the court and stabs you?

LOLworthy.

Plus, I didn't accuse Djokovic, he looked like he was really out of it physically(so I'm not questioning the validity) but his timing was bad. Hence the booing, by a crowd that usually is warm to Djoko.

Question: How many times was Nadal(master of the MTO, amirite?) booed by the crowd(outside of Paris obviously cause they boo there for anything, even when you check the marks - ON THE ONLY SURFACE WHERE YOU CAN DO SO) when he took MTO's/bathroom breaks?

Masters 1000 events are the biggest events on tour outside of the majors. Why do you downplay Nadal's bush league bathroom break?

On another note, indeed the crowd is usually warm to Djokovic...surprising after the incident with Roddick a few years back and now this. Everyone love a winner.

Of course, I was referring to the fact that it's only natural Fed would take less MTOs than Rafa, because he has had much less problems with injuries. It isn't anything that somehow speaks better of him than of Nadal nor anything like that. It's completely logical.

Wasn't that match stopped by rain at that moment?. I could be wrong.

Yeah but nadal took a bathroom break at 5-4 and if he hadn't done that match point wouldn't have been delayed at the time even I was mad but looking back now it honestly wasn't that big a deal

Fed normally only takes bathroom breaks after a set. And bathroom breaks don't take longer than an MTO.

Sorry for the late answer lol, but from what I remember the match point was delayed already because of the rain, and Rafa too a (very short) bathroom break before play started again.
