what does this match have to do with him being confirmed as a cheater ?

Not a chance. I can take a **** between serve and return. Literally.
It's extremely high given that there's a possibility his real chance is zero....if his wrist is as bad as it seems. The reason Schwartzman can tee off on everything is there's nothing on Nadal's shots.

Yes it’s obvious that Nadal has rain powers, cheater!
Nadal is not injured. He even said "it's nothing" to the tournament director. He was sweating profusely and was struggling with his grip, it's for sweat protection.

Also is Dal actually injured? Doubt it but open to being convinced

it was raining slightly and the heavy/damp conditions were what helped Djoko get those 8 games in a row.
else Nadal was dictating in that match before that...up 2 sets and a break.

Is Nadal really injured? Seems like he’s playing possum again.

It’s all about the spin so the rain doesn’t make it bounce as high.

When ************* talks about Nadal being unlucky due to injuries, I always think of this match and weather luck.
You get unlucky some, and you get lucky some.

Rain definitely produces some of the finest match thread reads. 
Don't want to moan about Nadal's luck as clearly the conditions that lighter rain creates are the ones that he hates.

I blame /u/Rainman500 for this.
Could be, but there's no way of knowing. If there is a minor discomfort, then the heavy conditions and Schwartzman's heavy hitting is just going to make it a whole lot worse.
I thought that's what I wrote? That Diego is not going to get his momentum broken by the rain.
If anything I think Rafa will play worse, but I hope he raises his level. He looks like an imposter of himself.

Meh, joking aside if Nadal had rain powers he'd ensure it never rains, doesn't matter if it disrupts the opponent's momentum.
He'd prefer very sunny weather with ball bouncing over Diego's head.
You would be blind not to notice something is wrong with Rafa today.

Doggone rain!!! Well, let's hope Diego isn't robbed of focus and comes back playing the same way. Nadal is so good at keeping or regaining his focus better than his opponents whenever there is a delay. I think it's one of his greatest qualities as a champion.

So how long is this rain delay supposed to last? Will we see play tonight.

You know he won't though. Nadal is still very likely to win this match IMO. And Thiem or Delpo will probably win if Nadal loses here.

I'm an equal opportunity memer. Read this thread I already said Fred trolls would make threads asking why didn't he play RG and said the Kokk would beat Fred at Wimbledon.

He is not Nadal hater.He is just mocking some Nadal fans.According to them Nadal have never lost match when healthy.Always excuses from them when he loses some match

Wouldn't be surprised, but you'd think he'd poast in his trademark style if he were on here though, don't you think?

Keep in mind that this guy (a massive Sampras fanatic BTW) has maintained (under a different account, Fastdunn) that's Fed's a CC specialist for over a decade now.
Don't expect him to change his tune now.

These threads are amazing. Rafa fans want so badly for his struggles to have an explanation/excuse and Rafa haters (read: Federer fans) want so badly to believe he is being outplayed in a vacuum. Reality exists somewhere in between, with Rafa struggling to deal with the conditions and Diego playing fairly well.

Nothing, apart from using 31 seconds on average between serves, which is breaking the rules BIG TIME.

Nadal is playing badly true.
But Diego is playing with heart and outstanding skills he would be troubling even a well playing Nadal.
