I anger

 

[Nostradamus]

According to Corretja in spanish Eurosport, putting extra tape in his forearms is something Nadal does in very damp conditions. Rather than injury, it's a sign of discomfort.

But RAFA did call the trainer and he gave him some kind of pudding to eat..... what was that about ????????????? if RAFA is injured ,, is this Rain a blessing ? will it give him enough time to get 100 % again ??????

 

[Bender]

Rafa wins a match 6-3, 6-1, 6-2 and looks unstoppable. Nadal fans: "Rafa looks fully fit and will win this. No one can stop him!"

Then, in the next match, it goes this way:
Nadal wins the 1st set 6-1. Nadal fans: "Rafa is in the zone, this will be a straight set win with two bagels".
Nadal loses the 2nd set 5-7: Nadal fans: "Rafa must be injured"/"It's the knee again"/"He has a blister".
RNadal wins the 3rd set 6-3: Nadal fans: "Rafa looks fit again. This will end in four. A bagel is coming".
Nadal loses the 4th set 6-7: Nadal fans: "Poor Rafa! His knee hurts him again".
Nadal loses the 5th set 5-7: Nadal fans: "Poor Rafa! He was injured from the get go!".

I don't know about the other Nadal fans, but for sure there are five or so posters here who make up 90% of the injury poast traffic

 

[Krish872007]

I’m not cool with Nadal winning unless DelHotro and Andy Murray are already out of the tournament. And I still don’t know IF I want Rafa to win this match because DelHotro is still in the tournament.

Yay, another Murray fan

Actually there seem to be many more of us in recent weeks

 

[TennisFan3]

It's official: Play cancelled for the day. This half will play 2 consecutive days.

 

[Mr Feeny]

Only someone that has never played a real sport in their life would disagree. It's a stupid as believing that your level doesn't fluctuate day-to-day. Or if you play great one day and not the next it's because you're mentally weak or unprepared. The logic just doesn't hold up.

I have played a sport in real life and I most definitely disagree. As would a lot of people who have played. It's a matter of opinions.
You can have yours but waltzing in here with a stupid statement that only someone who hasn't played a real sport would disagree with you is pretty stupid.

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

People will wake up, go to this thread, see 30 pages and think "DID DIEGO DO IT" and then see 2 sets haven't even been completed yet.

 

[cc0509]

But Rafa was the one needing to change and he wasn’t. Why would Schwartzman need someone to tell him what to do? Nadal was heading for a straight setting if he doesn’t get told how to play. Disappointing in that sense I think. But that’s what happens when you’re used to being told what to do by Toni.
I take your point but the rain delay has affected Schwartzmans chances, that’s undeniable.

Toni? Isn't Moya Nadal's coach. And coaches can tell players all they want, they don't have to go out there and execute it, the players do.

That's life. Mother Nature can't be controlled and it affects both players and both players have to learn how to come back and deliver. Nadal constantly does it and others can't.

 

[bhpower]

Nadal is not injured, He's faking and lucky as usual.

 

[Crionics]

Rafa won 3 games in a row, so the 2 became a 5

No ****, Sherlock! I couldn't have figured out this myself.

Nadal found his range and started standing up to the line, hitting deeper and taking control.

Diego hit a couple of good winners but couldn't deal with the extra pressure on serve. Also struggled a bit to find his timing after the break and wasn't able to hit quite as well in the heavier conditions.

Thanks for the info.

Find me 1 Rafa fan who actually honestly believes Rafa never lost a high profile match when healthy. *******s smh...

Thanks for the info.

Might have to revoke that TTW Award you won back in 2016 too, @NatF and I can now share the spoils without you

Too bad. That was my top qualification on my C.V too.

 

[Krish872007]

PLAY SUSPENDED FOR THE DAY.

 

[bhpower]

Why organizers not started matches at 11 a.m?

 

[D.Nalby12]

What a shame. Why they didn't start ladies match earlier? Both matches will go on tomorrow.

 

[davced1]

It will be a whole new match tomorrow. Best out of 3.5 sets.

 

[Nostradamus]

Trainer gave RAFA something that look like this during the injury timeout after 1st set. What was that ??????????????

 

[Federer and Del Potro]

PLAY SUSPENDED FOR THE DAY.

Sharon wins again

 

[Bender]

Well that's me done for the day I guess.

Totally not mad I stayed up just to watch this.

 

[Nostradamus]

Nadal is not injured, He's faking and lucky as usual.

how do you know that ?? did that RAFA in 1st set look like Normal RAFA to you ???????????? I think NOT

 

[Poisoned Slice]

Waiting for Nadal to lose again.

 

[D.Nalby12]

Very unlucky Diego. Play resumed for 3 games only and he lost all.

 

[Steve0904]

Hey I'd meet you. I guarantee we will share drinks and laughs with @vive le beau jeu !

Then when we talk about tennis I'll be the odd one out as the Nadal fan, and will see how many octobrina poasts I can quote verbatim before either or both of you catch onto my devious plan.

Would be pretty easy to do. You'd just have to say "Fed devotee" a bunch of times and we'd figure it out.

 

[AlexanderTheGreat08]

Typical French. Don't want to work if at all possible

It will be ready in 2020

 

[D.Nalby12]

Please someone post pic of Sharon?

[Rafa the King]

I read somewhere that he told the tournament director it wasn't anything serious. Didn't look injured, just played a bit poor and Diego GOATed for some parts

 

[Krish872007]

Please someone post pic of Sharon?

You might regret asking for pictures...

@Federer and Del Potro

 

[AlexanderTheGreat08]

Nadal is not injured, He's faking and lucky as usual.

What does he win with that? He took an MTO while Schwartzy was changing his clothes

That’d be too easy.

I’d just quote some non sequiturs, recite some fedr MTO stats (there is a large sample size to draw from), and take us on a few trips to the nearest underwear store to have you convinced that I might watch you sleep at night from inside your wardrobe.

At least post a hot one of Sharon Stone:

 

[Nostradamus]

I read somewhere that he told the tournament director it wasn't anything serious. Didn't look injured, just played a bit poor and Diego GOATed for some parts

but it was weird in that first set... Clearly I could see RAFA's shots were falling short with much less RPM and weight than usual in the 1st set....... but then at the end of that 2nd set,, Rafa's shots looked heavy with depth again and could see the crazy movement that he normally gets. Diego couldn't rip it anymore from middle of 2nd set on.

 

[ak24alive]

I am pure

 

[Nostradamus]

What was that PUdding like Bowl of stuff that RAFA got during MTO ?? did you see that ???????

 

[Incognito]

I'm from Mordor and I've been told I look like Gollum.

Mordor? That’s really far from where I am, I live in Hogwarts and I’ve told I look like professor Sprout.

 

[ak24alive]

At least post a hot one of Sharon Stone:

She is hot in all her pictures

 

[SQA333]

What are the chances of Diego giving us a match tomorrow?

do you count duplicated posts ?
('cause, you know... you quote 1, you quote 10000...... you, fed devotee...)

 

[Northern]

Does she bake a good pie?

Unlike that James Woods character, or James Woods himself.

It's hyperbolic but I think he means that you get a lot of that when Nadal loses.

That’d be cheating no?
