We parlons the same language, @vive le beau jeu ! and moi!Misspelled. @vive le beau jeu ! says, quite loudly, “Oui, oui, oui!”
He is a troll. In the next tournament he will again overhype Nadal, then will disappear after a loss.I thought he was your best friend.

Not 100% on this...Felt Rafa was hanging on in there from the start of match - lost count of the amount of break points...Med deserved that and similar to Thiem felt he should won easier...Time waits for no man...I wonder what Novak and Rafa are thinking as they go to bed....
Well Fed couldn’t beat Nadal in his prime regardless of the surface. The scar tissue runs deep.Daaaaaaamn I can't imagine the pain he inflicted on you
He could have even been hurt, that's how bad his movement was there. Hard to believe it was just fatigue in a best of three tourney.
Um.... welcome to the world of geriatric tennis. We Fed fans entered that fun zone circa 2014.He could have even been hurt, that's how bad his movement was there. Hard to believe it was just fatigue in a best of three tourney.
I am rather gutted actually, I hoped Nadal would win the WTF at least once, but I don't think it will happen now. Anyone who thinks this is an exho is in denial. Not a slam, but still a very special tournament, kudos to high achievers at the WTF like Nole and Fed.It was obvious.

Nadal was limping towards the end and looked injured. Do we have a Nadal interview after the match?
Oh well, it was a good run!
All matches were close and he only lost to the eventual finalists. Also he's 34. It's a realistically good performance no matter how you look at it.Ye, 50% of matches won. Improvement indoors for the ******.
Amen to that.I want Dimitrov/Zverev/Tsitsipas to win it each year, because that ruins its credibility.
Whereas if Nadal wins the WTF then it suddenly has credibility and we have to hear people say "Djokovic won the WTF 5 times and Federer won it 5 times, while Nadal only won it once" (or whatever the number of times they've won it).
The fact Nadal hasn't won the WTF, hurts the WTF.
It's called being 34 years old.
Oh stop. 34 is not old AT ALL.
99% of all male tennis players in the Open era were retired at age 34. So yes, it’s ancient by tennis standards. There’s no disputing it.Oh stop. 34 is not old AT ALL.

Really? Who is playing great at 34 other than Nadal currently?Well yes that USED to be the case. In this day and age 34 is still pretty young. I see what you are saying though. It’s just not the way it used to be
I mean have you seen is wife?And why did Berdych retire at 34 if it's not that old?
I think we need to do the data analysis of retirement ages and wife hotness.
Not the weapons they used to be? Nadal's foot-speed is worse than ever, and he beat Djokovic 60 62 75 at Roland Garros because his strokes are better than ever.I'm a bit surprised by all the misreads ITT. Nadal did pick up a set, technically, but it was a bit of a steal and most of it was on Med's racquet. No disrespect to Nadal, but his movement and FH just aren't the weapons they used to be.
lolyes
just for the balls of it
