Toni Nadal: I hope now Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic will get injured

[vive le beau jeu !]

can we 'joke' too ?... can we ???

[pvaudio]

Wow I don't even like Nadal but I know enough Spanish to tell that it is not intended maliciously and was not directly translated. What he said translates effectively to "i'm sure roger and novak get injured like the rest of us, and heck, if everyone was injured we'd have it easy!". In other words, he's trying to say not to pity them and that they're not special. Terrible thread.

Yes, it was a joke, but that was an unclassy, carelessly carried out by Toni.

Remember Sen. John Kerry said “You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq. …”

John held a press conference claimed it was a "botched joke", but still he got hammered by the media.

The BADLY translated quote is all over the internet.

Just admit it.

I guess I should have as my signature a quote by Fed trashing Wawrinka, if something being in the internet is enough.

Expecting Toni to stay classy is like expecting Nadal to stop picking his asss.

Are you just dumb?. It has been proven he didn't say it. You're not fooling anyone.

DropShotArtist is another resurrected troll.

Here's what he said

Talking about his rivals, Toni laughingly said: "I hope now Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic will get injured"


The key word is LAUGHINGLY , in other words that may be their only hope for Rafa to get to where he was before.

Laughingly, yes, and indeed that was clearly the tone of what he said (just putting down Rafa's chances). He still didn't say "I hope" though.

I'm sure Toni N. was joking, but that's not something to joke about. Hope all players stay healthy next year.

Looks like CheaterNadal on youtube has new material to work with on youtube comments.

[Sabratha]

I don't think he said that in a malicious tone.

And yeah, Toni was clearly joking, people are making too big of a deal out of it.

I noticed a long time ago that you tend to be the voice of reason.

[jokinla]

Djoker will for sure, and Fed's getting older, so he may get his wish soon.

Whatever happened to the Djokovicforthewin? That guy was the most insanely annoying lunatic poster ever? I know we all rub each other the wrong way occasionally, but he's the one and only poster I ever had to to put on "ignore." He was literally destroying my ability to enjoy talking about tennis.

I found him annoying for a while, he was persistent for sure, lol. But he was really just trolling, he wasn't a delusional hater like others, so I didn't mind him. Did he get a permanent ban?.
