2024 Madrid Open ATP master's 1000 R16 - Rafael Nadal (SPN) v/s Jiri Lehechka (CZE)

[Krish872007]

Good outing for Rafa to be honest, showed signs of a good level and was able to last 4 consecutive matches, which was itself fantastic.

I expected a Lehecka win today, he's got the makings of a great player and played at the right level to make life difficult - all the best to him for the rest of the tournament

This is why Nadal has only won Madrid 5 times, compared to Monte Carlo 11 and Rome 10.
The big servers do well here, and Nadal did very little wrong, lost the match in about 5 minutes at the end of the 1st Set and start of the 2nd.
He's playing WAY sharper tennis now than Madrid 2022, easily sharp enough to win Roland Garros with ease.

He is absolutely not playing well enough to win RG with ease that is just pure fantasy land.

Unfortunately due to recurring injury in first few months of this year he is about 2 or 3 tournaments and 6-8 weeks behind schedule for RG in few weeks time.

He is bit under cooked and unless he gets a really good draw and say manages to take out a good seed early on and then draw opens out for him then i think his chances of winning RG are about 5% at best.

If he gets to last 16 and a lot of seeds have fallen then i will re-evaluate but at moment he is more likely to be ready for RG at Olympics.

Nadal not even mentioning Lehecka’s name after losing …. true anti-fair play behaviour exposed ….

You only appear to rant against Nadal.
You're pretty predictable, pal.

Medvedev will obliterate him. Lehecka is a budget version of Korda.

Disagree. More like Lendl 3.0

And yet he’s right. You’re trying to be pseudo-intellectual in your sarcastic responses, deflecting from the real meaning of the problem with a teenager level of wits. I’m just trying to let you know your game is more transparent than glass. Keep going

If instead of taking your anger out on someone you don't know, you will realize that that poster only says negative things about someone he profusely detests.
The guy doesn't know that Nadal in the interview later praised and congratulated his rival for the great level shown in the match.
But, of course, some like you and the other guy only see one side of the way, which makes you pretty predictable and bland.

Heh, you’re just confirming my previous statement. Nobody was talking to you, you decided to make it personal towards me and the other guy and involved yourself in the discussion in an aggressive way, and now that you’re spanked you play victim and assign blame. Just like a teenager does Oh, and I don’t like Nadal too. Chew on that.

No, I wasn't talking about myself.
I was talking about the guy and his predictability in only looking for the negative things about a tennis player he detests, which is evidently the Spanish player.
And, as I told you, he omits the fact that that same player praised the level and game of his rival who beat him in the interview they did with him after losing his match.
But, of course, he is not interested in that, and as a tabloid press, he only seeks to create a fabricated "truth" to generate controversy and guys like you, sheep, follow his perverse game.
