A tennis world without Nadal scarcely bares thinking about.
I could live with it alright.

That's why tennis was invented in 2005. Nothing that came before really counts, does it?

It's "bears" not "bares". It will be a shocking end to an extra ordinary career. Even as someone who won't miss his style and antics (everyone plays the same nowadays), I wouldn't wish his career end like that. I hope he comes back to play.
If Mustard wants to "baret" it, that's his business :twisted::twisted::twisted:
Not sure why Clarky is a Nadalfan if she doesn't think Rafa's good for the game.
Did I say that? I said that tennis will move on without him. It's not going to fold up just because Nadal retires. It's been chugging along for nearly 6 months without him hasn't it?

Clarky never has a positive thing to say about Nadal. I've posted more positive things about Fed than Clarky has about Nadal.That should tell you a lot ;-)

Towser is a bigger Nadal fan than Clarky

lol I wouldn't say that. I think clarky is just annoyed with Nadal losing, playing in a way she thinks he shouldn't, maybe playing when he should rest etc, and so is mad at him. There have been times when I've been mad at Federer for lets say falling apart in a match. I can understand being mad at your favourite player, though I think Clarky goes over the top and lets it distort reality.
But I do recognise Nadal is a great champion even though I'm not a nadal fan. .
Yep, the difference between you and Clarky is that Clarky has never recognized that Nadal is a great champion. So just that puts you way ahead of Clarky in terms of loving Nadal. (Not a difficult achievement but still).
He didn't cure cancer,Vero. He's a tennis player not a miracle worker.

I'm not commenting on the fact you've never said Rafa is a great surgeon:shock: I've commented on the fact you never say Rafa is a great tennis champion. Still waiting.
I want Nadal to come back and play a different type of tennis , attacking, short points, coming to net, Serve and volley. I want him to cross Sampras and fall short of Fed. This will further illuminate Fed career
Wait on,Vero.
attacking definitely, S&V may actually be worse on his knees since it's a different type of footwork. I remember Edberg had humongous legs. Anyway shorter points is better tho.
Why not just play Clay season. He will have enough ATP points to be top 8 if he dominates. FO(2000), 2 Masters(2000)
I actually have seen criticism of Nadal over at VB (like about his Poker Stars sponsorship deal, for example).
Anyway, one thing is not to worship him and another to say him retiring at 26 due to injuries wouldn't be a big lose to tennis.
I agree with Towser that Clarky seems mad at Nadal. I think him losing so many times to someone she hates got to her a little...
I do think Towser has been more positive about Nadal lately because he's out injured so he feels sorry for him. While Clarky appears to be mad thinking he just doesn't want to play.
I think he might not retire, UNLESS! his injury will affect his game. BTW how old is he?
You haven't been there long have you? Those people over there defend him at every single turn. One of them actually had the nerve to say that Nadal only plays Abu Dhabi because the people who run it are his friends and that it has little to do with money. They believe he does it out of the kindness of his heart. That's the kind of blind hero worship that is posted there on a daily basis. It's nauseating.
And if you are the odd outcast who dares disagree with something Nadal said or did you will be ostracized and then banned. The mods there have admitted that they ban people just because they don't like them. It's good for getting info and that's it. Having serious tennis discussion is absolutely not possible on that hero worshipping site.
BTW, if he actually friends with the people who run Abu Dhabi, or was that just speculation?.
Have you seen the thread about the Poker Stars sponsorship?, because there was the same silly moral outrage there was here. And it would appear there was about the video with Shakira as well, lol.
Somehow that criticism is allowed, but if you make any comment about not liking that he hangs out with the king of Spain, those will get erased for being "political". So I think we can know what the mods there think about these issues...
Anyway, there's a lot of worshipping but that isn't what bothers me of that site, it's that discussion isn't actually allowed, so yeah, it's basically good for getting info. It's ridiculously over-moderated, I much prefer the way this forum is run, even if I think it's sometimes under-moderated. Plus, I overall like Nadal fans better here.
He has really bad knees and seems can't do anything about it.
Andre Agassi took some injection for back, but you can't take more than certain numbers, and Nadal exhausted the limit.
I have been scarred by Rafa's comments last year that he wasn't enjoying tennis. I can't forget the comments he made . Rafa said some horrible things for his fans to hear. It was too much that bearing of his soul.
Well. This is the time, when you can stop listening to whatever Team Nadal is telling you. It is almost never serious.
One has to question whether Nadal really cares about his fans, if he is wrecking their nerves for his PR and marketing purposes.
You have to question this? It's obvious he doesn't care a hill of beans about his fans. I have said so on here before and was villified for it.
Yeah, Rafa doesn't care about his fans.Look how he has just left the tour without any date for comeback, pulling out of all those tourneys. We are dumb to like him .
Lol,he has no date to come back because he's not coming back. At least that's what I gather from the situation. As I already said; I wrote him off as retired months ago,and until he actually steps back on the court in a pro tournament,I will maintain that opinion.
so thats it then..some of you have decided rafa has retired ??
when do you think he will announce his retirememt, citing 'injuries'.
