We are still too busy hunting for Sharon.Djokovic fans going to go into a drunken stupor if Nadal actually loses this match.
Rain delays always help the player on the back heel.Rain delay. I don’t know if this will help Rafa because he has been brutally awful.
Rain would not save Rafa. Wrist is f#%ked.Rain saves Wapha again?
I think Nadal can still plays his backboard game even when physically impaired, he just can't dominate with his FH or make those insane passing shots. It can't work against the very best or very in-form players on the day but it can still beat lesser competition by sheer consistency.They do. But when you're injured, you're injured and can't perform at 100% physically.
I mean the game has changed to be way more physical these days. So the difference at the top level is very small. If an injury makes you lose 10% efficiency - you could be #1 and lose to #20.
I mean this is not Pete Sampras who would still win Wimbledon with a back or stomach muscle issue. Pete had the first strike serve and the best 1-2 offensive in history. What does Nadal have? He is nothing if he can't move at 100% ability.
LOL, I doubt you ever defend you hero Pete Sampras like the way you support RafaYep. Beating injured Rafa.
Everyone who ever beat Rafa shares the same distinction.Yep. Beating injured Rafa.
Tomas Berdych died for this.
He's an ULTRA DOCTOR he knows injuries when he sees them, no?LOL, I doubt you ever defend you hero Pete Sampras like the way you support Rafa![]()
wah hahahahaha
For the record I'm Schwartzman's height, maybe an inch taller and I still found that funny.The guy is pretty short...he's built his career around hitting everything on the rise.
Prolly not good,he had many opportunities that went down the drain, His level of play is top 20 and thats about it,,he is not inspired and increasing his level of play is not there, Vajda has his work cut out for him.I wonder how djokovic feels today
Not a chance, Diego is rock solid. Nadal on the other hand, might decide to ditch this injury facade, stoppages always seem to have that effect.FWIW, I don't think Diego will have his rhythm broken by the rain delay IMO.
He is rolling serves in.Nadal looks so damn awful on serve.
That's not a function of his height. It's a function of years of Argentine coaching and training. You aren't going to find an Argentine anywhere who stands 3 meters back like Thiem does.The guy is pretty short...he's built his career around hitting everything on the rise.
You mean the rain?Nadal is a fraud, saying it now.
I used to be on the fence about him being a cheater but this confirms it.
Bad?I wonder how djokovic feels today
