Nadal quit because...

[Nadalfan89]

He was already going to lose. That's the point. Why would he continue to play on his tweaked knee if he was going to lose anyway? To appease some fat neckbeards on a message board?

Murray outplayed him and there's nothing he could do about that last night. The best thing he could have done is spared his knee some abuse and get off the court, and that's exactly what he did.

Thanks for a non-troll thread that says the truth and not many will accept that Nadal reitred to protect himself.

[Nadalfan89]

Seriously. I don't understand what people want from Nadal? To further damage his knee in a lost cause, just to entertain people watching?

[Talker]

I agree, even in the first set when was playing his best he couldn't get a handle on Murray.
About time he's using some common sense about his body.

That is why I prefer to watch WTA matches. Men cannot even be bothered to finish a match. They should be paid half of what the women are being paid.

Finally, an admission he wouldve gone on if he was winning from someone who is not just a Nadal fan, but also 89

Just making sure this is sarcasm rather than a genuine opinion...

And women cannot be bothered to practice their serves so that I don't have to sit through 15 double faults a match.

They shouldn't even be paid.

You could be right. It just goes to show that the statement Nadal never quits is completely false. When he comes up against someone who is better he knows when to give in.

Nadal is 7-3 against Murray; let's not get ahead of ourselves. Murray played better last night, that doesn't mean that he is a better player.

Hewitt had a winning record against Fed too....in the beginning. Last two HC slams, Murray has owned Nadal. That's not getting ahead of ourselves. That's fact.

[Carlito]

I don't really blame the guy. In an interview I saw he basically said there was nothing he can do against Murray so he wanted to spare his knee. I

What a coward. Show some professionalism and sportsmanship for once.

[bruce38]

Knee or no knee, Murray was way better. Nadal was playing at his highest level possible in that first set. He said so himself. And he was owned.

Crying like a little girl during your opponent trophy ceremony, or yelling "come on" after every UE is sportsmanship?

Nadal is actually no different in this regard. After every point he loses no matter how good the play was by the opponent he's upset at himself and winces as if he should win each and every point. That's really disrespecting good shots from the opponent.

[TMF]

This 2010 AO is a similar to the 2009 FO. Nadal played great in the first 3 rounds, look unbeatable, and then get beat by a better player. The only different is he quit this time.

But I though that when he comes up against someone better he just tries too hard until he gets injured

So because he makes a facial expression when he LOSES a point, he's the same as Murray who yells "come on" like a brat after his opponent makes an UNFORCED ERROR?

Yes, that was the case before yesterday. Read my posts, I said he finally learned and stopped being so stupid continuing to go all out.
