Nadal only has 1!!! Belies the whole purpose of this thread.

If you withdraw before the tournament begins it's not counted in the official record.

I quit eating bread about a month ago, but no dramatic impact so far.

 

[Russeljones]

How many retired due to a sore throat?

 

[jm1980]

How many retired due to a sore throat?

In the last 300 matches? I don't know.

 

[SoBad]

Here's is how a real maestro virtuoso retires from mickey mouse like a true capellini pomodoro:

You also need to quit pasta.

 

[SoBad]

You also need to quit pasta.

Are you saying quit all noodles, get the food mass from rice and potatoes?

 

[Tennisanity]

Corn too you can eat.

 

[Pagoo]

Shame. Djokovic should have went gluten free ages ago!

 

[HailDjokovic]

Remember that Novak COULD'VE retired in the monte carlo sf against federer. He played all the matches preceding it with a bad wrist which he said at the start of the tournament and when he was losing to federer, it seemed like he wanted to cry. Nonetheless he played on and lost the match nobley

 

[tennisaddict]

Only One answer.

I don't see what the big deal is. With all the retirements in Djokvoic's career, there should be no stigma attached to him retiring again. If his injury was legit, he must have been too concerned with his image to do the right thing and preserve his health.

He SHOULDVE retired in that match to preserve his health, and yeah it was probably an image thing in his mind due to his bad past.

Not into corn, but I like the idea of quitting noodles. Will just stick to seafood and veggies for a while. Then when the winter comes, will go to a Brazilian all-you-can-eat steakhouse and eat a whole baby lamb.

Is it immoral that baby animals, eggs, and caviar taste so good?

dont forget he also withdrew from '22 AO

 

[tex123]

He doesn't need to retire. He can beat crapgens on one leg.

 

[Enceladus]

Tendency bias. In fact, he was ignominiously kicked out by the politicians there and trampled on the integrity of Open tennis!

 

[SonnyT]

This proves Djokovic had gluten allergy. He used to retire all of a sudden from matches.

all he did was replace retiring with going to the bathroom and MTOs..

 

[Tennfan123]

Wow more thread worthy info about a tennis player.

Good one lol

Djoker the last bastion of robustness. Could only be more hilarious if it was Nadal.
