Did Nadal and Federer practice together at Indian Wells?

no because if that guy was Nadal, he would be wearing shoes with the nike logo probably. plus his hair doesn't look right.

Plus Nadal doesn't wear shirts with sleeves and the shorts are to short.

His shoes do have the logo. He's even taped up like Nadal. I believe it is Nadal, unless Fed hired someone to look just like him to practice with to help with his mentality...?

It's practice. He'll wear what he wants.

Thanks for the post.

Yeah I was being sarcastic but if he is comfortable wearing those clothes in practice then I wish he would in matches but that is me being picky.

 

[Forehand Forever]

That's obviously Nadal. How could you think it was somebody else? lol

 

[dunlopfan]

If you go to the Pacific Life Open website, it labels the pic as Federer and Nadal...

 

[Kirkstorm]

It is Nadal. They are practicing to see if the prints on the net would affect players' visuals during play. That I read from the Tennis.com site.

 

[okdude1992]

im pretty sure this was a joke... its obviously nadal...

 

[jmsx521]

There is no-way the picture was Photoshoped.... It's got to be Nadal!

We've established that it is Nadal.

i dont like what the atp has been doing. this idea sounds terrible

 

[Mick]

i am not surprised that federer practiced with nadal but I would be suprised if federer practiced with djokovic.

 

[mwitiiram]

is that Roger? He looks a bit large and doesn't look like his face...

 

[jmsx521]

I don't get it! What do you mean?

 

[quicken]

What are you guys talking about......??

Thats Nadal's long lost twin brother... Jeez get on with the program.



hehe jk

 

[ej]

no, but Blake and Roger did on thursday. The crowd was huge. I'm convinced they played an extra hour because soooo many people were watching.

 

[Gaudio's Backhand]

I was there. Blake and Fed hit for nearly two hours and then the crew put up a whole new net with big lettering on it and Fed and Nadal hit over it for about ten minutes and that was that. I think the ATP must have wanted their feedback on the net and if it was distracting, etc.

Thanks for the post.

Exactly, what is the big deal...the pro's practice with each other on a regular basis.

That is obviously Nadal, I don't know how you could mistake him for anyone else.

Yes, I saw him in "Bowfinger"

 

[(FEDERER)vs(NADAL)]

how can you say that's not nadal. idiot

 

[jmsx521]

Here's a caption of the picture:
Nadal: "Roger, don't turn around. There is a guy trying to take a picture of you. No, no, don't!"

 

[vive le beau jeu !]

yeah, another great idea...
(the only thing that could acceptably be written on the net would be "de villiers sucks")

 

[hoodjem]

is that Roger? He looks a bit large and doesn't look like his face...

Ha ha ha. Pretty good.

No, that's a PJ Roger.

the fact that they're getting rid of "Masters Series" is a worse idea than Round Robin IMHO. :evil:

 

[cknobman]

In that picture it looks like Nadal is checking Roger out.

Someone may have a chubby.

 

[JohnnyCracker]

You guys must be living under a rock to not know. The guy sitting is obviously Federer and the guy standing is Nadal.

 

[rfprse]

Yeah, that would be a fitting line. Or maybe a little "what's this supposed to do?" would do too.

Btw, some posters here don't seem to catch why those two got to hit together.
Maybe, they don't bother to read the article explaining why Federer and Nadal hit together.

Some idiots (we can only guess who the main culprit would be) of ATP suggested an idea to put an ad across the net and Federer and Nadal were supposed to give it a test there.
They must be very nice guys. I would just flat out shot down the idea as ridiculous without even bothering to test it.

ATP needs a real marketing expert (or at least expert who knows what the game is) instead of those idiotic amateurs who lacks any expertise on marketing and the game they are supposed to sell.
