If Nadal wins Viña del Mar singles and doubles, confirmation of Silent ban?

Someone coming back from a long injury break enters singles and doubles? Hmmm.

Why is it that injured players such as Del Potro, Blake, Hewitt etc struggle after long breaks from the game but Nadal comes back stronger as if nothing happened? The silent ban seems like a loud possibility.

Shhh, not so loud.

The truth is that Nadal is a much greater player than players like Del Potro, Blake and Hewitt so what we can expect from him is not the same as what we saw from those other players. I know it hurts if you are a Fed fan but it is the truth.

It wouldn't have been so bad if he had only entered singles. Big mistake on the part of Uncle Foni.

I find no suspicion in playing both singles and doubles. He wants match play, dubs aren't too stressful and he's pairing with his buddy.

Why do the mods on here let these frustrated trolls ruin this place. This place is a shambles now. Up there with the worst fora on the internet.

If you think Nadal has come back stronger than he was when he left you're not paying attention. He's playing like crap.

And didn't Delpo win Delray shortly after his return in 2011?

Bawss....should you not be happy that Nadal will come and kick Murray arse?

Nadal's crap is better than most players best!

I am, don't get me wrong...but I am bored and until he and Murray play in the same tournament I have nothing positive to say about Nadal. In fact I don't even dislike Nadal much, I just like the mob-like behaviour fuelling the silent ban theory.

That's gotta hurt.

That sounds about right.

Elementary my deer Wotsun.

Sounds about right, I am so disappointed with our Raphla

Exactly! We all know that Vina del Mar is the REAL Slam. 7 French Open titles are worthless compared to 1 Vina del Mar title!
