I agree. Novak has grown on me quite a bit actually - he seems like a pretty good guy. Murray is such a downer 24/7, makes it hard to get behind him.

I presume that either English is not your first language, or Djokovic and Murray shot the poster's pets because otherwise, your post makes no sense.

Isn't it obvious that Clarky-random-number is biased against Nadal? He doesn't just flame Nadal as a player but also as a person when Nadal has done nothing to even remotely suggest he's aloof with fans (shy, perhaps, but not aloof). Or maybe you don't know what the word "bias" means, which is why my post makes no sense to you?

ETA : You say, "I presume that either English is not your first language, or that Djokovic and Murray shot the poster's pets..." You might also need to work on your basic comprehension skills as I was suggesting the poster is biased against Nadal, not Djokovic or Murray. And good luck with convincing people on the Internet that English is your first language.

ETA-2 : Wait, where is Clarky's post where he pretty much said Nadal was an a*****e and wouldn't converse with fans? I don't even see my response to it.

ETA-3 : Or did I screw up and respond to the wrong poster? Darn, can somebody help me out here? If Clarky wasn't the one to make that post, I apologize. That was meant for whoever it was that "presumed" Nadal wouldn't bother with fans.

He would have to perform a miracle from God himself before I would ever convert. And cure cancer,stop world hunger,and declare world peace. Lol.

I didn't say he was an a-hole. I said that he doesn't speak to fans if they don't measure up to his standards. Not sure what the big deal is in saying that. All you have to do is watch him when he signs autographs to see he doesn't even make eye contact much less say anything to them. He is distant and cold to them,and I think I know why but cannot say for sure.

And as much as it pains me to say it,Nadal should take a lesson from Cvac on how to interact with fans because he is lightyears behind the curve in that department. Now I must go barf for having to compliment Cvac's manners. Lol.

And I am a SHE. Not sure how many more times I have to make that known.

That's probably because he's shy. I know because I'm sort of shy in real life and avoid eye contact if I can help it. He's probably more humble and down-to-Earth than any of the top 4.

Anyway, all good. My apologies for reading too much into your post (which I still can't find). I thought you were a biased **** or a Djotard (or whatever you call them).

He is only the worst winner in terms of having a more outlandish celebration but I have never seen him not give credit or not say nice things/win or lose.

He tore his ST shirts because he knew he was changing to Uniqlo!
