Nadal hasn't lost a single game this whole tournament. Truely the GOAT.
To think, Daniel's slot in the tournament could have been put to use by somebody capable of playing tennis.
If I had purchased a ticket to Laver arena to see Nadal play, I would have been pissed.
what happened to daniel. was he injured or what?
Perhaps they can get a ticket to another match.
I had a ticket to the Madrid FEDAL exho, and (it's a long story) I couldn't use it.

T&M is again insane. How could you possibly compare Lacko who played a pretty decent match and there were plenty of long rallies in it, to Daniel who couldn't even move. Remember that "Lacking" Bagelled your boy Rafa just a week or so ago?
No, Jim, No! Rafa stopped his match last year because he was losing, not because he was injured! Get a clue!
Even Nadal himself didn't know what Jim was talking about at first. He was like:
"Me? I was injured? Oh! yes, of course, I was very very injured no? Fore sure!"
Nadal faced 4 BPs against a cripple.

You need a life young lass. I was just making a silly joke about how things go around here. I don't ACTUALLY call the guy "lacking". Don't you realize that by flipping out you're just proving my point?
And everyone knows Nadal was sick against Lacko, that wouldn't happen otherwise. And Lacko DID play a pretty poor match against Federer regardless. It doesn't matter though because Federer would clean his clock any day. Anyway, you guys seriously need to get a grip on reality. I can't believe all you guys flip out over the most innocuous of comments. You guys STILL think I am being serious. :lol:
Anyway, I am off for today!
That was really nice of him. I guess he knows exactly how much it suxs.
what happened to daniel. was he injured or what?
Wow, why all the hate?
He totally knows. I remember the look on his face last year when his knee went wonky.
Andy looked like he felt bad for him.
I was mad - I was like "you ran him around that court and now you feel bad because he has to retire as a result?"

Because I'm sick of *******s treating their hero like a god.
Yes, Nadal can lose even if he's perfectly healthy.
Yes, Nadal played an incapable opponent.
Yes, Nadal retired last year because he couldn't break Murray. Rewatch it!

Uhh...ok. Methinks you don't even know me or how "mature" I am. But you can continue to think so? I would suggest you "get a grip".
I am making fun of how things go around here, not trying to stir things up. This board is an exercise in dysfunctional operations.
He injured himself warming up :shock:
The matches sure are going by fast on Rod Laver Arena today, the fans who had tickets to the day session haven't got their money's worth.

He knows that. Probably better than you know it.
You do it. You sound obsessed.
Match is OVER. Yet you rant on.
:roll:
Oh no. Is that really what happened?
Cilic up 2 sets to 0
UM, right and the ****s only looked at Lacko as the guy who bageled Rafa. Not how absolutely crappy he played in the first two sets yesterday. Fed is AMAZINGLY Sublime in beating Lacko, and Nadal facing BP's againsta cripple. Come on! You are being childish. I wouldn't be surprised, if ppl start a thread about how Rafa faced BPs to a cripple. How many ******* troll comments do you see in the Fed/Lacko thread? How many ******* troll comments do you see here? Nuff said.
Blind people will remain blind...
Darren Cahill made a good point about how tournaments should withhold some prize money from players who go out onto the court with an existing injury and aren't able to compete. As he said, the slot could have gone to a lucky loser. I feel sorry for center court ticket holders today.

Another bagel coming up on Hisense arena.
Day 2 is a borefest so far.
Day 1 had The DeBacle, Lukasz "The Unfit One" Kubot, and Fish sticks to compensate.
How much do they get for first round? 10k?

Hey did u sub to eurosportplayer?
I paid last night but it says "no active subscription"
I don't blame Nadal for having Daniel as his opponent, I blame T&M for actually stating this opponent was tougher than Lacko. That's an embarrassing statement, even for him.
I did not troll against Rafa in this thread until Jim's question about last year's "injury", which Nadal himself didn't even remember (because it didn't exist).

Cahill said 20k
20k.......
Oh damn, now that is unfair. It's sort of also stupid, because it encourages what Marcos just did. He looked like he was injured before he came here, and I highly doubt he thought he would win. Now he walks away with 20k.
So why did Nadal retire against Murray if he was NOT injured? Last time I checked Nadal FINISHES matches as much as he can. Did you forget the bagel against Murray in Rotterdam '09 when Nadal was hobbling? How come Nadal did NOT retire in the match?
Truth is Murray OUTPLAYED Nadal in the AO 2010 QF and was on course towards winning the match in straights. Nadal got injured in the late 2nd/early 3rd set - so he decided not to risk any further harm given his shaky injury record and slam withdrawals thereof.
Was Nadal injured ? YES
Did the injury affect the outcome of the match? Not in the least. Murray was far away the better player.
Why is that so difficult to accept?
