Nadal will retire this year

[Retaliation]

I hope he's done, but his wishy-washy ways are far more exciting than seeing him on the court, so keep it coming Ralph.

That is another thing, do you honestly think a person with the knee injury Nadal supposedly has would be golfing? No way.

LOL. Thank you, Yoda. But I am serious, and once again, you have a hard time when an opinion isn't the same as yours. Nadal's "game" is boring, and his absence is hella more interesting.

He is not retiring at least not by his own choice. If that were the case he would have announced it already and split the scene. That retirement scenario makes no sense at all.

I don't care about your opinion. I don't like Eeyore and find him, his game, and his trashy family to be abhorent, but I do not wish for him to retire and take joy in doing so. See the difference now?

It takes years for athletes to come to terms with the end and to make the announcement. Why should Nadal retire? He's getting lots of good money offers and endorsements. Do you think Nadal will even have 1/10 of his fanbase when he's retired. Nobody cares about retired athletes. He's not retiring for a few years anyway.

Yeah right! You HATE him, you despise him. You don't like him winning, let alone beating your beloved little Rafa.

Yes you do.

Your "point" sucks. I don't care to see Nadal play another match. I love tennis, and don't like his game. See what I'm talking about now? It doesn't take a genius.

To people who can't comprehend that you don't have to like someone's game, but to wish for them to retire, get injured, or die is going too far.


You definitely know that.

What do you know, the ignore list works great.

Not in Borg's case. I don't think Nadal is retiring, he is just indisposed for the moment.

So he's taking an 8 month long dump?

That may be the next excuse, extreme constipation!

If he does retire that will be a sad day. Fed is 5 years older and will have essentially outlasted him physically (not to saythats a surprise) but 26 years of age, hes very young to be quitting the game.

Still.. An all time great career if Nadal does decide its time to quit. He has no doubt made his mark in this sport and will be remembered for generations to come

There.. there... don't start crying just yet. He'll be back for clay.

No way, Nadal is tough guy, he can play at least 2-3 more years.
