What? I even said that there were too many comments about the wind.Then why were you crying about the wind in the sf against federer
Imagine the furore if Nadal was the one playing 4 days in a row. Would they be playing the final today ? Absolutely not.When Rome happened - it was clear only Djokovic could pull upset. Otherwise it was always NID 12th RG for Nadal.
Thiem could have performed better if hadn't been so tired but I just don't think he is mentally tough enough to win at biggest stages.
That has no impact whatsoever in their hypothetical matchup this year. End of story.Yea 7-5 in the 5th set. Nadal hasn't straight setted Djokovic at RG since 2008, and that was the last time he did in any Slam. What you're saying is nonsense. End of story.
That's a truly hilarious notion!Damn this tells me nadal didn’t think he could do it this year.
Thank God.12 for Rafa.
Congratulations to him again. Too good. Insane how good he is on this surface. I won't live to see another like him. Of that I'm sure.
Rafa much more beatable on non clay if it’s not his A game that’s definitely true. That said even still it’s a short list of people that have actually capitalized on that and usually it’s been Fed or Djoker doing it not the rest of the tour.Yeah, I agree again with most of this. My main point is that Nadal can't play his B game and expect to win off clay majors anymore. Whether that means cumulative depletion or a Fed/Djokovic loss I don't know, but Nadal can't play average for a whole GS anymore and win it.
As for the last part, tbh I haven't cared about that in a while. In fact, it would create utter chaos here, and I would love it, because if Nadal only won RGs from here on out to pass Fed, I really think Fed still has a legit argument there anyway, unless Nadal surpasses him by a few.
My liking your post is a not a commentary on your projected longevity.12 for Rafa.

Meh FO shouldn’t even be counted as a GSFederer getting really worried now,,,, RAFA only 2 away..

The organizers already did 90% of the "wear them out" part for him...It’s not about being tired. Nadal eats up those guys with one handed backhands on this surface. He wears them out.
I agree on the Fed fanboys. They can be horrible, but I'm not sure your second sentence is true. Fed could have 2 majors, and if Djokovic and Nadal had a ton more they'd be comparatively "worse." Because winning majors nets you fans, and fanboys, and Federer has the most majors and as a result the most fanboys.You mean except for the inside in, inside out, and down the line rockets? Even on the backhand side?
You Fed fanboys are the absolute worst. You guys started the fanboy illness that pervaded Nadal and Djokovic fanboys.
You should see a doctor about the massive buthurt you gotThank God.
This is true12 wins at one Majors is stunning. Congrats to Nadal on still setting new heights that nobody will ever match.
It wasn’t a factor today. Thiem still looked fresh even in the 4th set. Did you even see the match?The organizers already did 90% of the "wear them out" part for him...
