He looks a step slow to me but if he was in the same state but getting his arse handed to him by del Potro or Wawrinka he'd have already retired.

KK displaying some of the worst tennis IQ I have seen in forever. A more tactical player would clearly be taking advantage here. He is beating himself with these stupid over swings. Some of these athletes just do not have that spatial awareness.

And cue the Nadal fans marching in to gloat about the possibility of Nadal winning, without addressing the fact that their guy is either a blatantly poor sportsman abusing the injury rules or a hypochondriac.

If you think Nadal would play on through any kind of debilitating knee injury so close to the start of the Clay season then....

Wow man, imagine if Rafa on crutches somehow wins this match and then continues to win the tomorrow SF also.
It’s simple. If he turns up for the match tomorrow, he ain’t injured.

Knew he would beat this useless basher of the ball without effort
Set up the excuse for his brigadiers when he withdraws before the matchup

Peak tennis age is 33 now, it's enough to offset even playing on one leg when the opponent is a mere sprog at 22.

I have nothing against stupid people, but anyone who still buys Nadal's injury act after all this time and with such a clear example having just taken place has to be some kind of brain dead.

Well, hopefully Fed is ready for the MTO. It'd be nice if one of these younger guys would step up more consistently and beat the old-timers, but it is too much to ask. Here comes Fedal.

Blimey. How **** has Karen been. Every credit to Nadal though.
Thanks for all the entertainment folks, laughed out loud at a fair few of the comments.

Everyone's pain threshold is DIFFERENT. It is entirely possible that Nadal has an injury flare up and pain. He tolerates some pain and his movement is like 70 percent. It is not BAD enough to force him to retire. But he can still hang in.
I do believe that is absolutely foolish to have persisted with this match. Nadal should have withdrawn. He should know better.
This stupidity from Nadal will LIKELY cost him the French Open defense.
