I'm a big Djokovic fan, but Nadal beats him in US Open! Also Murray beats Nadal in Australia....

What is he going to be posting about tennis?. He isn't playing tennis at the moment. He's posted several pics of him in the gym, saying he's doing he's best to get better soon. What else would you want?. He can't just keep repeating himself all the time either...

The only one who obsesses over Rafa is you. If you know this forum is mostly Federer fans, why the heck are you on here 24/7?

Check out the facebook pages that he 'likes' and you'll see he recently added this one.

He'll come back in the AO next year, and get thrashed in the 2nd round due to not playing for three quarters of a year.

Don't exaggerate much dude. He played the first half.

He'll be incredibly rusty nonetheless. You can't expect to return from tennis and be 100% after such a hiatus.

It will take time.

I agree. Too many conflicting reports from too many different people.

A bit off topic as well, but your username looks familiar. I think I've seen it on a Canadian sports website called tsn.ca before. My username is swilkins on that site.

Kinda figures he would like that,but it doesn't mean he will be back then. It seems like they know more than they are letting on,and at this point,I am really starting to wonder if he will be back at all.

This guy will be more than ready when (or rather if) Rafa ever comes back. 6 more slams and Djokovic surpasses his legacy.

My point is that tennis is not on his agenda. I don't care about his goofy sponsorships from Poker Stars or whatever it may be. His fans want tennis news,not news about him golfing with Pico Monaco.

Yeah,and 6 more slams and Nadal surpasses Fed's legacy. See what I did there? Take your Cvacula trolling elsewhere.

But Djokovic couldn't even stretch Rafa to 5 sets at Roland Garros. And on Djokovic's BEST slam surface, he needed 6 hours to beat Rafa
