Djokovic wasn't injured

Why not? There were people on here who actually believed Nadal played his best when he lost to Mayer in Shanghai.

And I don't think Cvac played his best today. I was just making a point.

He didn't play his best, but he was not injured. Why do you think that the only way Djokovic "can not play his best" is if he's injured?!

I don't. I do not believe he is injured,and just simply lost today. He didn't play his best,and he just plain lost.
 
To be honest, I didn't even read this entire post because my post that you quoted wasn't even directed towards you idiot.

Probably don't even know what mediocrity means but oh well. lol

...and the reason you didn't read it was because you have the attention span of 6 year old .. and the interpretation skills of a 4 year old.

The fact you have to start or end every post you say to me with the word "idiot" shows you for the troll you really are. I shouldn't have bothered trying to get you to evolve as a fan, stick to being the uptight, negative Nadal follower.

What? Do you just sit in a dark room dissecting every aspect of my post until you find something you can use against me? I could care less what other Nadal fans are saying. I wasn't even talking about them. Do you think that I am "on a team" with some of these guys? Do you think that whatever I say about Djokovic fans I should leave a caption: (Nadal fans do not do this)? Again with you comparing Nadal and Djokovic when you have nothing better to say.

The bottom line is it's is mainly Nadal fans having a go at Djokovic/Djokovicfans and when you are having a go at him for something that Nadal/Nadal fans is/are well known for as well, then people are going to bite. Don't act so innocent. You're saying "don't bring Nadal into it" the only reason you even posted this is because you're a Nadal fan.

Like if I wasn't on here posting as FEDERERISTHEBEST or some name like that and I said "Nadal is a terrible player because he never won 4 slams in a year" all the Nadal fans including you, wouldn't point out Federer never did it either? Yeah right.

Having a go at Djokovic fans for blaming a couple of losses on injuries, like it's their "thing" that they always do, you know since waaaaaaay back in August is just laughable. That's a Nadal fan thing, I hope to God it doesn't get this way with Djokovic fans.

If this guy was actually injured, he would have retired in that third set. Were talking about the clown who retires in a masters final and a Davis Cup semifinal when he's only down a set. What would keep him from retiring from a 500 event? You Djoko lovers and sugar coat this 1st class annihilation all you want, but the truth is your hero is past his brief prime.

NO, he won't retire so soon.

You think that *********s don't do this? You almost had me agreeing with you until you threw in that last sentence. Not only do fanboy's like you do this on a regular basis, but most of the time it is completely unprovoked. Take your clan leader DjokovicForTheWin as a prime example.

Why are you responding to his drivel? He wants this. Its a feel good factor for him to take stabs at his hero's main rival .. its his drug ... some people like snorting lines of cocaine ... some people like driving fast cars ... and some people like having sex .... this non-drug using, car-less, virgin likes abusing tennis players.

Ok,do you think Nadal played well at Cinci this year? How about when he lost in Montreal? Was he injured then? The same bs excuses could be made to explain away Nadal's lousy form/play this year as well. Cvac lost,and it was not due to injury. He just plain lost.

The 6-0 set to Murray could have been explained as injury and I wouldn't have argued actually, but I didn't even see the match so it would have been based on just looking at the score. same with the Djokovic match, didn't see it but 6-0 makes it look possible. Don't think he was badly injured in Cinci but not 100%, maybe the same here, maybe just a bit lacking physically rather than having an injury. I don't know to be honest. But don't get too paranoid, yes there are times when all players including Nadal and Djokovic get injured.

A little while ago you were sure that Djokovic wouldn't pull out of China or Shanghai because he wasn't injured and was 100% certain to win them even being at 60%... so what happened?

I'm not even a *********, he's one of several players I like and I think he's due his time, but I would still like to see Federer and especially Del Potro win some big titles, would certainly prefer one of them to win Paris next week.

Also by do "this", you mean blame every loss on injury? This has only started in the last few months. That's the point, it hasn't reached Nadal level yet. Don't you get it?

And I guess the definition of fanboy now is "someone who doesn't worship Nadal" I don't have any one player I worship, maybe a hard concept for you, I don't know.

DjokovicForTheWin, loves to rub it in people's faces, but are you any different? You started this thread and started calling out Djokovic fans for doing something for 5 minutes that Nadal fans have been doing for years. I don't think I've started any unprovoked anti-Nadal threads, probably not provoked ones either. Really you're just telling me I've done things which I haven't, but you probably have.

Agreed. What's funny is he won the first set in convincing fashion(6-2),yet *********s still want to pull the injury card because he went on to lose the match. I guess his shoulder only starts acting up when he starts to lose. :lol: The truth is he lost because Kei played better than him and nothing else.

Yeah, while the almighty Rafa can barely win sets off him, we have little Kei who is able to bagel the world #1 like it's no big deal. :lol:

I simply do not buy it. Is Nadal injured too because he has played far below what he is capable of all year long? How about the way nadal lost the Tokyo final? Was he injured there as well?

I'm tired of the excuses being made to excuse away every missed point from this guy. If his shoulder were really injured he would have struggled to hit any shots,and not just his serve. He even hit a few aces,and didn't look to be struggling at all on the fh or bh when it comes to range of motion. Drama is Cvac's middle name,and once again he brought plenty of it simply because he lost a match. It's as if he cannot lose without having an excuse,and his fans and others simply swallow that garbage without a second thought.

Nadal's game is fine. He's just inferior to Djokovic. Nadal got lucky in 2010 because the whole tour was playing like crap. You know the rest of the tour is playing like crap when Thomas Berdych is making a Wimbledon final.:lol:
 
I suppose Djokovic should have taken it like a man and retired as of to avoid....

I never said Nadal was losing due to injury. I do think he is on the decline,and I have made that quite clear. He isn't the same player he once was mentally or physically,and I fail to see what your point is considering I am not the only one who has noticed his decline or talked about it on here.

And yes,I do think he will win the WTF,and his newest act has not changed my opinion on that at all.

Nadal's been "declining" since 2006. :lol::lol:
Stop stating the obvious Clarky. Nadal's game is the same as it always was. Nothing changed in his style. He's still the same topspin moonballing roadrunner he always was. He's just now facing a slightly younger and hungrier foe who's having him for breakfast.
At least Nadal is still smacking his boyfriend Federer around. That certainly hasn't changed.:)

Are you doing a very bad impersonation of a troll may I ask?

Nadal's volleying has improved, drastically .. as has his serve. That's me done with this thread, this thread is getting dumber and more inaccurate by the post. None of you know a jot about tennis.
 
Oh and @ Fullofbull - I think you do care, you care hugely but not as hugely as what you care for how a person over the internet says about your beloved Rafa. Grow up, get a girlfriend, infact get laid because there's something else you need to keep yourself occupied.
 

Mike Sams

Exactly. And I have never seen Nadal quit a match because he was too hot(at a slam Cvac was defending,btw)or because he had a sore throat. Cvac has also retired at 3 out 4 of the slams,and has quit many more matches outside of the slams as well.

Yeah, Nadal instead calls MTOs or time-outs and pretends to be in pain and gets a little rub down on his leg while he secretly absorbs advice from Uncle Toni from afar. LOL!

Nadal's the same player from 2009-2010. That's my point. If not for Djokovic, Nadal right now would have 3 Slams and 5 Masters.:)

I didn't watch this match but was not surprised to see the result. This is the time of the year where the number one's seem to just be going through the motions of playing and we won't be seeing much until the Aussie match. Personally I think the Barclays match is more like a demonstration thing showing the world the top 8 players

Another loss, another injury, grow up Djoker. Of course Nadal has had his share of injuries, etc., but Djoker takes the cake, and now hopefully this will end the talk of him having the best season ever.

So let's see if I got this straight:

-If Novak retires he's a disgraceful quitter.
-If he doesn't retire he's a faker and his prime is over

The guy just can't seem to win either way with some people.

Right, he does.

Let's see at Nadal's losses since 2007:

-2007 AO-injury in famous arse
-2007 Wimbledon-knees
-2007 USO-knees
-2008 AO- a rare exception I must admit
-2008 USO-fatique
-2009 FO-knees
-2009 USO-stomach tear
-2010 AO-knees
-2011 AO-muscle tear
-2011 Wimbledon-broken foot

Novak (or anyone else for that matter) is gonna find it hard to match that (let alone exceed it or take the cake as you say).

Now I don't really care if Nadal has an injury excuse for the vast majority of his slam losses since 2007, it's his right to say whatever the heck he wants in press conference but people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.

The problem with Djoker and his "injuries"; it's the little boy who cried wolf, he may very well be injured, but we won't know because of his track record over the years. A year or two ago, after Roddick played him, and Djoker had some injury, the press asked Roddick about it, and he joked that Djoker always has something, which is true, this situation with him isn't new and the players know it. Of course he has played tons this year, and it would be normal to have some issues, but he made his bed, know he has to sleep in it.

You better hope so, humble little bull. I'll be sure to revive this thread if Novak wins a slam or two in 2012.

I don't neccerarily disagree with all of that, I never agreed with some of Novak's retirements and that reputation he got is his own fault however this time around he didn't retire so I don't see what all the fuss is about? He gave Nishikori a full win and ate his bagel, what more do the people want him to do? Do people really believe Novak's serving like crap as a part of some acting performance?

Look all this doesn't matter, whatever issues Novak had or didn't have is certainly not Nishikori's problem, he played well, stayed tough mentally and deserved his win, it's the survival of the fittest out there and whomever comes through on the day fully deserves his win.

However just as you bring Novak's reputation and history in question so too we could say that Nadal fans are the last ones who should complain about other player's injury excuses given their and their hero's track record in that regard.

He didn't retire which was fine, but he of course brought up the injury after the match, which I prefer Nadal's route, after several of his injury retirements, he hasn't wanted to discuss the injury, because he doesn't want the reputation. I would say that Nadal's grinding style is naturally going to lead to more injuries than Djoker's style, although his sliding on hard courts could be problematic, but with all the matches they play, they are both going to have problems, but this further shows how amazing Fed is, after all he is the old man of the group, yet he has remained almost injury free, and is the one who is holding up the best of the top guys now.

You can't ever think of what to say, you never respond to any points people make in their post, you just say something stupidly unintelligent and change the topic. Or if your being really savy you'll suggest you didn't bother reading the posts because you not much of a reader. Which, I'll admit is probably a fair enough excuse, because you don't seem like much of a reader at all. Bless ya.

The go get laid comments seems very relevant to you, you and most nerds on here that defend their iconic stars to the death on here.

There are just as many Djokovic and Federer enthusiasts on here, but I'll tell you one thing, they don't act like cretins. Nadal just seems to attract all the annoying kids of today lol

I'm more worried about what this means for Djokovic than whatever bullcrap rafabull has to say about it. Nadal should be heartened by this spate of injuries because this means he has a route to more slams with an injury prone Djokovic. Djoker's season seems to have come at a cost...

I don't believe Nadal is the type of player to ever think/feel that complacent. Winning 7 matches to win a grandslam is not easy, Djokovic there or not.

Djokovic wasn't injured? Why do you hate him so much? Did you even read what he said?

This is exactly what he said, "I could barely serve for much of the match, I was in pain,” “My shoulder is very bad, we won’t even talk about the third set. I have a lot of pain in my body from the competition this week. I hope I can be ready for Paris." Here's the link

Now should I believe the player himself or some random poster on the internet?

Don't be silly.:lol: These are minor injuries which require some rest. Djokovic isn't going to die and his career isn't over just because of a few niggling injuries. He'll be ready to roar at the AO in 2012. He's packed it in for 2011. While he's taken most of the Slams and Masters and taken the #1 ranking, now the other guys can have the crumbs.

What's surprising is that it's taken this long for his season to catch up with him.

The tour's schedule is relentless and I'm not sure there's enough time off before the AO for him to get past all the ailments.

Meaning a huge drop off in form and results may be beckoning.
