He does have some tennis skills(not nearly as much as Fed or Cvac)but his main talent is his athletic ability. Nadal without his physicality does not win 11 slams. He's not talented enough tennis wise to do it.

Zagor believes Nadal played the best tennis of his life by an overwhelming margin against Fed last year at the WTF where he hit a total of 3 whole winners and got bageled. That should be enough to tell you he is utterly hopeless. Lol.

He seems like a very opinionated person.

Zag is one of the best posters on this site. He just has a bit of thing about outing 'faux' Sexi fans.

Here's what Nadal said recently about the AO during a radio interview:

"I would like to return in January. I don’t expect to return and win the Australian Open, I have to be realistic."

I think that most Nadal fans know not to expect too much of him during the AO, so I think whoever (if anyone) thinks he has a good chance to go deep in the tournament is slightly delusional.

Rafa hasn't been a year without titles, he wouldn't have won a slam each year then.

You've heard haters too much. Of course Nadal is very talented.

I have to ask, why the hell are you a fan of Nadal? How is that even possible when you don't think he's a talented Tennis player?

No, there are plenty of athletic guys on tour but they don't have Nadal's hands to create those magic shots on the run, the same ball which they merely get back Nadal somehow ends up putting you on the defensive.

What do you mean by physicality? You do realize Fed and Novak are also terrific movers? Heck, Fed at 31 is still one of the best movers on tour.

Before them, the best player of the 90s Sampras was arguably the fastest guy on tour, then there was Borg, Laver etc.

Maybe, but he's also full of it when he says Nadal played the best tennis of his life by an overwhelming margin at the WTF last year against Fed. That is so much nonsense that I can't believe anyone could defend such a comment.

Yes he has, and the second part makes no sense.


Yes, athletically. Tennis wise he is lagging behind by quite a bit.

I was doing what you do all the time dear Clarky-trolling.

I do think Nadal played high level of tennis overall in 2011 (which would have probably been his best year ever without Novak 2.0) but not at WTF, it was one of his poorer performances in that tourney (still better than 2009 WTF).

No, you actually believe that because you even repeated it again after I said it was nonsense. I can also buy that you would think that way since you infected just about every Nadal match thread last year praising his supposed high level of play when everyone else on the planet could see he was playing like mess.

Clarky, you are the Queen when it comes to ridiculous hyperbole about Rafa (albeit negative hyperbole). It ill behoves you to complain about others doing similar.

Yeah, that was fun

Now you know how it feels Clarky but no I don't *really* believe it (regarding WTF not 2011 as a whole), the same as you for example don't really believe Novak (who barely won last year) is more a lock for 2013 AO than Nadal was (and probably still is) for FO, the same as you didn't believe last year that Novak was a lock to beat Nadal in FO final etc.

Yeah, such a mess that he was only losing to one player all year long (who played out of his skin and didn't lose a single match whole year till FO) while dominating the field and reaching his personal best 5 slam finals in a row, please.

[cknobman]

I'd say at this point there is a better chance of Nadal not picking his butt constantly during a match than him winning the AO title.

OK, when has he been more than 12 months without winning a title?.
