Fortunately, your mere presence on these forums tells us that Nadal fans can't get banned as well. So, I guess it evens out.

You think Nadal winning the AO or not has any bearing on that?

Banned for what? I'm one of the only posters who follow the rules :shock:
Unlike most of you I post about tennis, and that's a rarity form most of you trolls (why are you even in the Nadal News Thread exactly?).
btw the matchup I want to see most in this event is Rafa vs Del Potro.

Thanks Babbette (hug)To be honest I think Rafa likes blondes. In clips I see him glancing a lot at blondes. If he breaks up with xisca his next gf might be a blonde. Or like many men he sees blondes as fun and brunettes as settle down types
Yeah I remember the camilla belle. Rafa gets on with anyone spanish. I still wonder what happened in the plane with penelope cruz and javier bardem. To me javier and penelope are like an older version of rafa and xisca. do you see the resemblance with xisca to penelope?
I like your poem it is good. You never know, fingers crossed.
I don't see the ressemblance between Xisca and Penelope. To be completely honest, I find Xisca 100%, no let me rephrase that: 200% devoid of any sensuality. She's dainty, good looking, nice, sweet, classy, whatever you want to call her but she would have to hit the minus 50 in the sensuality department. I also see 0 physical chemistry between Rafa and her (like coupling a hot pepper with an ice cube), although I think they're extremely compatible in every other area.
Actually, Rafa answered that question himself. Asked if he preferred brunettes or blondes, he answered: I like them both. I totally believe him
and I don't blame him either: hard to make a choice between Penelope and Charlize! (the 2 women he cited as his favorite actresses).And guess who Camilla was seen fooling around with, just after the Rafa pictures? That shouldn't be hard right? Of course, the initials are F.V. (wink).

Amazing, right? He's starting to feel more comfortable and secure around private enquiries. He used to be super defensive. Nice change. I have no idea where that crazy rumor came from though. I've always known Xisca appeared in the picture in 2006 and not before.

Fernando always goes after Rafa's sloppy seconds. Ana, Caroline hehe. If Rafa drops xisca, watch out. 8) I never read the bits where he says Cruz is his favorite actress. Last brunette I read was his fave was Zeta Jones, before that J-lo lol.Btw, Ana Ivanovic as one of his face wta players?? Lol you know he's basing that answer on friendship.:-?

Yes! i was thinking the same. Finally no more, how long have they been together nonsense. Although PMac will still say that. He seems to say the same things again and again. Everytime Rafa wins, he goes i wonder why he bites the trophy. I'm like really guys?? You still don't know? Rafa has answered that one like 10000 times.

Camilla Belle-Hollywood "actress"
Googled her, she's a hottie! When was this pic taken?
Also, about the cruz thing, I dunno. It might have been a video. But I think they asked him who his fav actress was and he answered charlize theron and cruz.

Actually, this is a very shrewd observation. Even in 2004/2005 lots of folks watching Nadal wondered why he doesn't serve harder. We also had a camp in '07 where Nadal's and Fed's shots are analyzed, and our coach questioned on how come someone with such a great overhead and shoulder strength serves so slow; the service motion was awkward. Nadal always possessed a LOT of power. Even at 17-18 he could hit a high bouncing inside out forehand at close to 100 mph and his overheads were also awesome.
That's why I always wonder whether Nadal would have done much better with a specialist coach such as Cahill, Roche, Annacone etc. Tony trained him mentally for sure, but sometimes I wonder about the technique..

I'm sorry but nsk is harmless, compared to P_Agony and aphex. THEY need to take your advice.
I wonder this too. I think he should maybe add a co-coach. I don't see it happening though.

Rafa, the creature of habit has made it clear plenty of times that changing any members of his team or adding is a complete no no at the moment. But I wonder if uncle toni thinks about it at times. I think there was an article with toni mentioning talking about adding another coach? I just don't remember. I don't remember much today
when you said "nobody" you included everybody so she had a right to reply.
Btw, for anybody not interested in reading banter there is some Rafa news a page back

Wrong, they, just like me, are counterpunchers, we don't critisize when not provoked. I only respond to the bulls..
NSK produces the biggest crap here even though nobody forces him to. That's the difference.

Rafa also works with Toni Colom but that's not someone new at all. He worked with him as a child already.Rafa, the creature of habit has made it clear plenty of times that changing any members of his team or adding is a complete no no at the moment.

Yep. It has been discussed before. I think the biggest issue is the language barrier for a specialist coach with Nadal.
There was a special analysis done by some commies analyzing why Nadal changed his technique and why his backhand and serve were so poor when he started. I mean, when he was 17-18 he used to hit flat and hard on his forehand
(see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikNlsRBT8-0 ) . But then Toni started him with the reverse buggywhip finish - mimicking the topspin of other Spanish clay court players - and now he's trying to go back to the flatter forehand. Furthermore his backhand technique is still strange - his grip is different from the others; he uses the dominant hand in a different way. So he has trouble hitting DTL backhand, compared to someone like a Djokovic or Murray.
Anyway, Nadal is much too talented and would have been the best anyway. But I still think he could have been #1 earlier and had less injuries + better technique - if he had some conventional coaching with specialists.

During the infamous Nadal foot injury in late 2006/early 2007 - Toni foolishly conceded to the press, that this injury could derail Nadal's career in the long term and it was a serious danger. Nadal was obviously, irked, he denied all this to the BBC and said it was just a small thing.Rafa, the creature of habit has made it clear plenty of times that changing any members of his team or adding is a complete no no at the moment.

Reportedly, at that time Toni offered to resign as Nadal's coach, but Nadal did not accept. Finally, Nike+ made a special foot-sole for Nadal and customized shoes (half a size smaller) and all has been fine ever since

LMFAOOO! Ya I'm sure aphex was provoked to start his 2-3 threads about how useless Rafa is. Or P_agony was "provoked" to come in the Nadal vs Daniel thread, and make a cheater comment out of nowhere. Yup. Real counterpunchers those two. NSk's comments are hilarious and facepalm worthy. P_Agony and Aphex's comments make me want to punch something.

Yep. P_Agony thinks that Nadal wasn't injured against Murray in AO 2010 QF, and retired because Murray broke him
That's one of the most ridiculous thing I've ever read.Then Drakulie says Nadal was never injured. He thinks that Nadal was practicing when he withdrew from Queens/Wimbledon in 2009, because he saw a 2 yr old clip of Nadal training on TV. LOL!!
There's another one T_Brady - that poster hates Nadal and wants him sick/injured and retired ASAP.
It seems that "some" Federer fans absolutely hate Nadal where as most Nadal fans are just indifferent to Federer (or as in my case actually like him).
