He cares in so far as it's inconsistent. No other slam does it, and they don't apply it to the women.Rafa clearly stated that he is against the Wimbledon seeding formula. Therefore he does care.
If you have a firm opinion on any subject , be that for or against , you care about the subject.
Now that is ridiculous! However, it does mean that Thiem could wind up in a quarterfinal against one of the big 3 and I would hope it would be Federer or Djokovic!Does anyone think it's right that Thiem is replaced by Anderson as #4 seed when Anderson is actually ranked #8?
Who says Rafa is upset? He is just stating the facts.

His lack of discretion on some things is what gets all this going. Sometimes he needs to lie a little or avoid the question. Just give b.s. answer or something.Rafa is more honest with the press than any other notable player.
Dreddy Brown doing his best to attempt a boycott of late rounds for The Nadal.the rusty peak injured whining bull should boycott wimbledon

BUSTEDSo many hate
Watch much Thiemmie on grass? I know it’s hard unless it’s the first week of Wimby...1R, 4R, 2R, 2R, 1R exits.Now that is ridiculous! However, it does mean that Thiem could wind up in a quarterfinal against one of the big 3 and I would hope it would be Federer or Djokovic!
When you realize you made the biggest mistake of your life to post on TTW while being a Parera fan.This thread has more salt in it than the Dead Sea
Thiem played 4 straight days because your boy Djokovic called off the SF on Friday to finish on Saturday.Do you think it was right that Thiem played four straight days in a row at RG? Or do you think the French could have done a better job with scheduling? I mean you are so concerned about Thiem.
@Meles
Yep, and where Nadal schooled Federer in the most meaningful match of all time. Absolute love it.Welcome to grass season. Home of the MOST prestigious slam.
Nadal is GOAT according to all experts, not an indoor serve bot like Federer became post 2008I don't begrudge Nadal for his incessant whining, because when your skill sets are limited, you'll say and do anything to gain an advantage.

Who cares, he had energy for 2 hours for the final. He got screwed hard. But not to worry, next year Nadal will be even older at 34, the roof should be built by then so no scheduling issues should occur. Check mate for Pareral.Thiem played 4 straight days because your boy Djokovic called off the SF on Friday to finish on Saturday.
Yes, the seeding based on grass point was done yesterday for the first time ever.Only reason they manipulate the seedings at Wimbledon is to try to give Federer a cup cake draw by hoping Nadal and Djokovic tire each other out in semi final...not realising that Federer is not good enough to make the final of Majors these days so actually Wimbledon suffers by having a low quality final as it will have a tired Nadal or Djokovic v some average serve bot.
What the whole world wants is the two greatest players of all time, Nadal and Djokovic going at it in a Wimbledon final.
Federer 0 YE1, 0 FO, 0 USO in the last decade during peak Nadal and Djokovic...I rest my case.I am quoting you only so that I can have the source when I post it in the TTW Hall of Fame. Please, continue!
A dream is not what you build your career on.lol both Nadal and Djokovic dreamt of winning Wimbledon when they were coming up.
Thiem played 4 straight days because your boy Djokovic called off the SF on Friday to finish on Saturday.
Nadal schooled Federer last year on grass as did better at Wimbledon, makes Wimbledon look a bit daft. But its a mickey mouse event nowadays anyway, players don't care about all that Royal Box stuff, its so 20th Century.Yes, the seeding based on grass point was done yesterday for the first time ever.
You can't be for F real.
And he is still considered the GOAT, lmao go figure.Federer 0 YE1, 0 FO, 0 USO in the last decade during peak Nadal and Djokovic...I rest my case.
You wot, mate?Nadal schooled Federer last year on grass as did better at Wimbledon,
Wimbledon a mickey mouse tournament, omg LMAO. We're talking about the most prestigious tournament in tennis history here, not the French Open ROFLMAO.makes Wimbledon look a bit daft. But its a mickey mouse event nowadays anyway, players don't care about all that Royal Box stuff, its so 20th Century.

Nadal no AOs in the last 10 years, no Wimbledons in the last 9 years, no WTFs in the last... LMAOFederer 0 YE1, 0 FO, 0 USO in the last decade during peak Nadal and Djokovic...I rest my case.
What exactly is his point: that Wimbledon shouldn't have the right to determine their own seeding criteria?
All the whiningNadal and his whining never stops
- 2 year ranking
- tour schedule
- Wimb ranking
- blue clay
- specific umpire (Carlos) not in his matches
- serve time stipulations
- WTF should be rotated
Did I miss anything ?
It doesn't seem right to me either, all slams should follow the same rules for 5th set tb and seeding. Pretty non-story comment from Rafa who was just answering a question, but of course it doesn't take much to set off the peanut gallery here lol
Wtf is meaningless exho event..not even best of 5 sets...and every player considers Olympic Gold far more prestigious than WTF and Masters 1000s.Nadal no AOs in the last 10 years, no Wimbledons in the last 9 years, no WTFs in the last... LMAO
And he's 5 years younger than Federer.
The saltiness of Federer fans i adore. Love how Nadal winning irks them. Its why i love Nadal as his winning gets to Federer fans.Another troll thread. Funny to see Federer fans blaming somebody on whining after all what they were saying about clay and especially the French Open.
What Nadal is saying is absolutely correct. Wimbledon's ranking system is a joke. And everybody knows it.
Just imagine the meltdown here if RG would’ve introduce special seeding formula based on clay season. The whine about it being not a real Slam would last forever.Another troll thread.

I see you're having an incredibly tough time staying in the proximity of the topic that you started. Are you gonna bring up that Federer has a bigger nose at some point?Wtf is meaningless exho event..not even best of 5 sets...and every player considers Olympic Gold far more prestigious than WTF and Masters 1000s.
Nadal has won AO and W beating Federer at both at his prime. When has Federer beat Nadal at FO and USO...u walked into that one lol
Than who?I see you're having an incredibly tough time staying in the proximity of the topic that you started. Are you gonna bring up that Federer has a bigger nose at some point?
I didnt start this thread..a salty federer fan did lolI see you're having an incredibly tough time staying in the proximity of the topic that you started. Are you gonna bring up that Federer has a bigger nose at some point?
No need, there are 3 Masters, a Slam and a bunch of 250s and 500s for the clay courters to build up their rankings. When you're a grass specialist you literally have 1 warm-up tournament and Wimbledon. The ranking doesn't reflect the best players on grass. Someone like Mahut or Brown could easily take down a top 10/20 player at Wimbledon.Just imagine the meltdown here if RG would’ve introduce special seeding formula based on clay season. The whine about it being not a real Slam would last forever.
And you can't even edit your own post. Learn the basics before getting into an argument.I didnt start this thread..a salty federer fan did lol
Why would anyone care about the seeding at the FO? Nadal could WC it and win the damn thing.Just imagine the meltdown here if RG would’ve introduce special seeding formula based on clay season. The whine about it being not a real Slam would last forever.
It happens anyway.Just imagine the meltdown here if RG would’ve introduce special seeding formula based on clay season. The whine about it being not a real Slam would last forever.
