Sure Bublik is being superficial. But when a 22 GS winner plays at the level of top 200 you can't ignore that. The visual does match his level and vice versa.

In the end it was worse. Too many batterings against lower ranked players.

HC a different story as always for Nadal.

If Nadal was truly injured then he would not be playing. He can play just fine but only as a top 200 player. That is his true level.

She's on a journey. Come on Nadal, can't let her beat you on this.

Alcohol not required. The aggression & violence is a function of your wild west history.

If Alcaraz & Sinner are the future as Djoko has said, then Nadal must be part of the past. It is Djoko who has been living rent free in Nadal's head. Not the other way round.

Also need to run the stats on mass / school shootings / random violence. How many more will die until the next USO? You guys don't deserve to host any tennis.

a few people > no crowd > USO crowd (animals in human clothing)

As if there have been no shenanigans in the US Open You are lucky to have the slam there This year Beijing Open > USO

As a fair skin mediterranean, Badosa will have leathery skin and wrinkles in a few years, worse than Nadal. So she's not wrong.

More than 2 years too late. But better than being the perpetual journey man. His legacy can no longer take a beating.

One was realistic. The other is delusional. One is looking happy and healthy. The other looking aged in life not just tennis.

They're all good to watch in this form. Shang is like a better version of Nishikori.

Most epic fall from GOATness in 2022 and still falling.

Nadal only dominated on clay. So it is feasible for Sinner and Alcaraz to smash Nadal's performance off clay. But to reach the level of 2006 Fed or NCYGS Djoko is another thing.

That's why he went on to lose the next match. Should have just owned up within a few hours of the match. Maybe he went on this forum and saw he had some supporters.

He needs to listen to Federer and keep going forever. He should enter every single competition and at least collect the 1st round money. A dead horse can never be flogged enough. We need some more.

Laver cup is a retirement home. It's not to go out on an high but to rescue a bit of dignity. Personally, I'm with the the Nadal fans. He should go to the USO for one more whipping.

So her favourite tournament is Wimbledon but her favourite major is USO.

Federer ending was defined by injury, not ageing like Nadal. He had a timely send-off at Wimbledon champions parade and Lavers cup surrounded by contemporaries as he wanted. OTOH Nadal has been in the wilderness for > 2 years now, continually getting beat by low rank players. And yet he can't...

The ball has wicked side spin. Don't know all this talk of top spin is.

I agree with that guy but don't need convincing. If you know tennis you already know.

It's neither a half-volley nor a volley. Contact is too early and with the frame for the former. Contact too late for a volley. It's not even legal as a table tennis serve. It's a foul shank between racket, ball and ground.

The key is that the ball hits the outside of the the tip i.e.. the ball is underneath the rim of the racket. The only way it can go up from that position is if it hits the ground first (even if this distance is 1mm) and rebounds. The ball might even have tried to oscillate for an instance...

If it's a half volley then it's a double bounce. Don't know what legit you're talking about.

Draper knows he didn't get under the ball. He should own up and offer the point.

Maybe don't put her on a pedestal and then she won't fall. Untick that box.

Nadal actually prefers bo5 b/c he has more chance to recover if he gets behind. He also prefers some familiarity with opponents or ones with a typical game. Considering those factors , this is exactly the sort of scenario he absolutely dreads:
