Like what? That he looks like he's at a funeral everytime he has to do anything tennis related? To me he looks downright depressed and sad...like he's about to take another step off the cliff.
I said until I see him actually enter a tournament and play it that I will consider him retired. It was my own opinion,and I didn't force it on anyone else.
And you don't think he would say that to continue piling up money from playing tennis? He has also said that tennis is not his passion and that soccer is. I just don't believe he cares about playing tennis as much as he says he does, or as much as you think he does either.
If he doesn't need the money then why take sponsorship deals? Why play needless exos? It is all about the money for him, and I think it's naive to think he plays tennis just because he supposedly loves it. Do you think he took that embarrassing PokerStars deal so he can shout to the world how much he loves tennis? Totally ridiculous to think that. And money is a great motivator as well so I see no reason why he wouldn't play through pain to get paid. Like I said, he plays exos doesn't he? Or does the pain abruptly stop just for the exos and for nothing else? Lol.
Again, nobody looks like they are at a funeral the way Nadal does when he has to do anything related to tennis if they love what they're doing. Last year he started looking so unhappy on court at times I thought he might start crying. How can he possibly be enjoying what he's doing when he looks so miserable? I just don't buy the act from him about this.
He doesn't look like that to me. Have you always thought that?.
I didn't say you did. Thing is, you didn't want to believe him when he said he wasn't like you don't want to believe him when he says he love tennis.
He could also be saying it because he means it. That is the most likely reason as well.
He's said football is his passion, but he's never said tennis isn't also. Football is clearly his favourite sport, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love tennis. Federer has also said he likes football better, you know.
Because it's easy money. You'd take it too. That he doesn't need the money doesn't mean he won't take a lot of money offered for little effort.
Plus, he plays like, what, two exos a year?.
He wouldn't be playing tennis, putting the effort he puts into it, playing through pain, missing what he does for it, just for the money. It wouldn't be worth it with all he has already. That is not to say it isn't a plus. But if he didn't love playing tennis, he wouldn't go though all that trouble and would just have quit a long time ago.
He didn't look too pleased sometimes last year. He kept losing to the same guy over and over, something that had never happened to him before. By any account, he's a highly competitive guy, used to win for a very long time. How pleased did you expect him to look?.
