Default Why Monfils and Isner are usign the Nadal CourtBallistec ?

I was watching the last Us series tournaments and i notice that Gael Monfils and John Inser wear the courtballistec in white - yellow (supposedly the Nadal us open color).. Nadal always have exclusive colors in his shoes.

My question

Nadal is going to use a different color at US open ?
It's going to be an especial edition or a new color for the Nadal courtballistec 1.3 at Us open??

I think that Nike had something special for Us Oen....

actually rafa's shoe colorway was exactly the same as monfils' in the australian. he was supposed to use the cb1.3s in black/volt/turquoise but wanted to keep the breathe cages so nike made the cages the same color as the cb1.3s (that monfils did wear).

Monfils used Nadal's courtbalistecs at the Aussie Open. Nadal isn't the only one allowed to use the shoes. He should be wearing those yellow/black/whites for the US Open.

And please work on your spelling and grammar

Who cares about the damn new colour schemes?
You pathetic guys do, you're like brainless flying insects and a bug zapper...
Just can't help yourself can you?
Anyway I'm not surprised Isner and Monfils are wearing this shoe..
They're both big guys and they need the cushioning/support.
Oh and Nadal will be wearing colours you've never seen him wear before. And you can take that to the bank...

You spelled "spelled" wrong.

Perhaps he was referring to the hexaploid species of wheat known as spelt.

he was defending/justifying the OP's limited understanding of the english language. he wasn't trying to burn anyone - aside from the fellow/lass, S H O W S T O P P E R !, that is.

actually, he can spell correctly.

he spelled "especial" correctly in his native language, which i assume is spanish. (source; 2nd-to-last sentence in the original post)

Actually 'spelt' is a valid spelling of the past tense of 'spell'. It's used mostly in the UK.
