Djokovic wins Slams by smashing through Nadal. That's how he became world #1, winning 3 consecutive Slams with it.
Nadal started crying when Djokovic was kicking his butt in that 3rd set at RG and wanted to stop play.

Don't you know, this is the Djok-Muzza era. Federer and Nadal are old news ! Get on with the program Mann.......

How many of us does it take before we become the rule rather than the exception?

There are almost no Nadal bandwagoners. If you are going to jump on a bandwagon, it isn't going to be Nadal, its going to be Federer obviously. Nadal is the guy most of the tennis world has consistently been saying would retire young and was breaking down physically. Nobody would jump on that bandwagon. Nadal fans are genuine Nadal fans. And if their ever were any bandwagoners, they will have fallen off after the 7 month absence (or the 2009 disaaster).

When Murray is winning every poll and/or Murray news thread has 1000000000000000000 pages.

Murray is a lot more popular than Djokovic because the United Kingdom is a big place.

IDK, but flying under the radar is kind of enjoyable. People are probably scared to join the dark side, take risks and enjoy this roller-coaster ride for as long as it lasts.

Btw, why was my friend Bob banned? Is it permanent? Djokovic fans are a rare breed around here as well.

Is that a fact or an opinion?

Hitman · 02-10-2013, 04:54 AM

Is that actually meant to surprise anyone?

It was obvious Nadal was going to sweep through the SA clay swing. I will only be surprised if he loses a single match before IW.

The 8 months away from the ATP tour appear to be basically because he was exhausted after a long period of being a pro. Was it 2001 he turned pro? That was a long time ago for someone who is 26.

I know, it worked for me.

The real question is why is Nadal playing doubles again.

He likes an excuse when he gets injured again. Seriously, what is wrong with him?

Are you f-ing kidding? Who cares? Neither Fed nor his fans will lose any sleep over this. Dream on.
