Nadal will retire rumors

But he didn't do much this year at all. He hasn't played to be able to do anything.

You can't know that. He hasn't back-peddled about other things he's said before which have been controversial.
And like I said, what he did this year shows otherwise. And he did quite a lot, only reaching the AO final (which he could well have won, you know, on Novak's best surface before his grandfather died), and won Montecarlo, Rome and RG beating Djokovic.

Could have fooled me.

You're predisposed.

Come on,Crisstti. Do you believe his knees magically stop hurting when he plays an exo? He has made dumb scheduling decisions throughout his entire career. Like playing Rotterdam(for the appearance fee)only a week after a gruelling AO where his knees were already bothering him. How about playing Madrid that same year even though he said he was in serious pain beforehand? Dumb decisions like that have cost this guy so much throughout his entire career,and those particular boneheaded decisions cost him most of the 2009 season,and his ranking. He didn't win a thing for a year afterwards. He does this type of stuff all the time,and is pretty much renowned for his dumb scheduling. He has still not smartened up about his schedule,and has more exos planned for next year,even though he missed most of this season with injury. You don't think that's senseless and ridiculous?

I don't think he plays them when he's in bad shape, like this year, when he didn't even play DC. Can't you give him some credit for that?.

But yes, he's made some less than brilliant scheduling decisions.

He isn't "so far below them". He hasn't been playing.

And you can't know he didn't. But it's awfully coincidental that his story changed when he got questioned about saying those things.


Coulda,woulda,shoulda. Doesn't matter anymore,and him making that final is what started his knee troubles this year. I would rather he lost early than make that final only to come away with nothing but yet another injury.


You know what I think about those wins so I won't repeat it.


So are you.



Yes he does. I already pointed out some of the times he has played with injury in the past and how much it has cost him. He played the DC final last year with a knee problem. He did it again this year at IW and Miami as well. He was even limping in that match against Tsonga in Miami this year. He does it all the time.



I beg to differ. They have passed him by and if he comes back,I doubt he will be able to compete with them anymore. I bet they are all wishing and praying they draw him at the AO next year because drawing him will likely be a bye to the next round(if he even makes it that far).

I think she went to far and anti-jinxed him right out of 2012. She wanted Nadal to win, so she said, "Nadal won't win another match all year."

And it came true, lol. OOPS.

That's a bit of a schizophrenic persona, don't you think ?

[Ms Nadal]

Rafa better comeback. I miss him! I never thought I would miss him like this!

I don't think it changed that fast actually. I remember when asked he said he had been feeling tired. Plus he made the "100 years" comment in RG and the other one about losing passion a while later.

It matters since you say he can't possibly beat Novak anywhere.

Since he has recurring problem I would think he plays with some problems most of the time. He he didn't he couldn't be a pro at all. It must not be easy to be in his shoes and decide when it's too much and he should actually stop. He's said he probably should have withdrawn from Wimbledon but was feeling too confident and couldn't do it.

We will see then. I'm sure if he's healthy enough he will do just fine.

I agree with you. Something is not right there.

I like Federer and dislike Nadal, but Ms Nadal is fine. She appears so young, innocent and emotional on these boards that ooze hatred against Nadal that it sometimes feels very awkward and wrong.

I think we need to ask her to show her titz to prove she's real. Should I start a poll for that?

You aren't a Nadal fan, but whatever.

Stop being nasty! I have no time for that! Have nothing nice to say, BE QUIET!

[Ms Nadal]

All of you, just leave me be! I am just a poster. Am not hurting anyone. I had no idea that I was so interesting!!

[Goosehead]

is there another photo of a big cloud on rafa/wafa's facebook page ??..or maybe a gym pic...

or or...g g gulp...a pic of nadal practising on a tennis court

[cluckcluck]

Hang on everybody...lemme grab my popcorn while this discussion unfolds.

[Ms Nadal]

Uncle Toni has told the press that Rafa will practise on court next week but how many times have we heard that?! . Won't believe till we actually see it happen! This is so tiresome now.

sadly we cant really believe gool old 'uncle toni'..he comes out with all this stuff that turns out to be not accurate..maybe he really believes it when he says 'rafa is practising next week' or whatever else he said in the past (loads of stuff),

But 'uncle toni' continues to subtract credibility from himself.

Exactly, Uncle Toni and co should speak when they are sure it will happen like the day before or on the actual day. And just stay quiet until that time.

Sure,and Toni has given multiple different dates as to when Nadal will start practicing again over the last month+,and he still hasn't hit the courts. Until I actually see him on the practice court playing tennis,I will think Toni is just full of it.
