I love this guy and always will but his complaints are getting to be a bit much. Yep, hardcourts are bad on the joints. You can slip on clay and grass. Tennis is a sport, people get injured. Retire if you are so concerned.

Man Nadal has become such a damn whiner in the last couple of years. I don't think it's endearing him to the fans all that much.

Weird, isn't it ? Today Nadal was aided by the very court that he criticisized as being Crap.

Just because he won it doesn't mean the court wasn't crap. He won DESPITE the court being crap. He's just that good. He deserves to complain if he's speaking the truth.

No, Nalby would have just kicked the crap out of the line judge. That's the way he rolls.

Nadal was not the only player to complain about the court and balls in Sao Paulo. Mostly, everyone did.

Can I see some quotes? Not that I don't believe you, I'd just like to hear what some others said about the courts. I didn't see a single rally of this tournament unfortunately

There are no quotes. Other than Nadal and a tweet from a player's coach.

Guess you just read the nadal whiner meme and came to a conclusion.
Just so you know a couple guys twisted their ankles playing in that court.

It's these these people who keep complaining about everything, constantly, including naturally Nadal's speaking out about stuff like dangerous courts.

Now they keep at it 'cause they're bitter Nadal won.

Yeah, you got a point. Constant whining about the underwear pulling. Constant whining about the 20 seconds (as if Nadal is the only player who occasionally goes over that limit when playing). Constant whining about the muscles (it has to be PEDs, right? No other sane explanation like, uh... testosterone?)

Yes, it's funny people whine so much about Nadal being a whiner. It's like those people who are completely tolerant, except when they have to tolerate intolerant people. They won't tolerate that!
