Now Nadal beat FedEx in Dubai, and he's gunning to get to the finals of the PLO. Yep. Career's over. Totally. :eyeroll:

His career wasn't "over," we're simply saying that the preponderance of the evidence says it will be short, and marred by many missed opportunities owing to injury.

I see nothing to contradict that, here. We already know that he's tough when he plays. We also know history says that he's made of glass, will miss as many slams as he plays in, and generally comes up small on 3 of the 4 biggest stages in the game, even on the off chance that he does make it into the draw.

He's a great player of tennis, but has an awfully long way to go before he becomes a great tennis player. I doubt he'll get there. Fragility and a high-impact style are a disastrous combo.

This is just what fed fans are hoping that nadals career would be over.Because they know there boy feds run as#1 is the thing thats over. But nadal is not a great tennis player?Make me laugh i thought fed is the god of all tennis players+ nadal has beat him 3 out of 4.But nadal is just a great player of tennis thats pretty funny.Some of you fed fans are not in reality.Nadal is 19,give him another year or so + he will dominate fed + all the rest.

for nadal, fed is not #1 to him. because nadal
leads 3-1 against fed. i think fed is not satisfied
until fed levels their head to head score, but nadal
is too fast and powerful for fed. so right now, there
is no rivalry between the two. 3 to 1 is not a rivalry,
fed is the underdog.

Bag has run out of gas, he couldn't handle
nadals paced, too tiring for Bags this is one
good thing about nadal's game. he tires his
opponents. i think next time nadal plays,he
should play longer rallies until his opponent
wears out and get cramps.

Yeah, nowhere near as logical as Baghism or as prominent with the establishment as Feder-entology. Henmaniacs have got to be the scariest people, though. Right up there with nihilists. The Murraymons and the Safinites seems harmless enough.

If there were an award for the most persistent religious folk, it would go to The Petrova's Witnesses. Door to door is a tough gig all winter long in Russia.
