I am resigned to Rafa losing tomorrow

The only thing that makes no sense at all is saying he wasn't injured. But I've given up on you making sense about this kind of thing.

You think injuries don't get worse, and then better?. They just appear from one second to the next in the worse state?.

What I am saying is I don't believe in that Wimbledon "knee injury" story at all. Not for one second. Call me whatever you want, it doesn't matter.

Pretty much, yeah.

People with an ounce of class wouldn't think of saying that kind of thing about an athlete who missed 8 months from the tour.

I've never said anything like that about Fed's back, even though he didn't miss one tournament due to it. Or Novak's wrist.

Give Rosol his credit. He went up 2 sets to 1 while the roof was open and was giving Nadal a heck of a tussle on grass. As a matter of fact, Rosol was in a position to serve out the second set against Nadal in Doha.
If Nadal had won that match at Wimbledon, he would never have brought up the knee injury. He would've just played the next match and the next match. It's always an injury claim after a hearbreaking loss. Federer did the same to Berdych at Wimbledon 2010.

He probably played the best match of his life. Rafa still had the match under control by the fourth set. And Rosol didn't manage to serve that set out in Doha, did he?.

I don't have to lie about this because someone thinks that would be somehow fair to Rosol.

Rafa didn't just "cite an injury". He was out for 8 months. Many people thought his career was over.

Btw, people should have a little empathy and think how would they feel had Federer had a nearly career ending injury and people would talk like this. It really says a lot about you if you can't.

Yeah, because you don't believe anything that doesn't fit with your worldview. Not because you're even close to thinking about this logically.

And because you lack any class too. You should at the very least admit you do NOT know.

Crisstti has Nadal ever just lost a match fair and square according to you? Where his opponent was simply the better player on the day?

LOL at you accusing any poster of not thinking logically. Pure comedy and irony.

Do YOU know Nadal and his team personally so that you are able to be absolutely sure that everything they say is the truth? Please. Don't act like you are some intimate Nadal team member who has inside knowledge. You know zip as well.

All we can go by are the observable facts and to think that Nadal was seriously injured a few days or a week after his FO performance is ludicrous. Only a truly blind follower could believe that nonsense.

You are the one talking as if you know something you simply don't. I am simply going by common sense and a minimum of class. Not that I expect you to understand either.

Federer heard it too

An unbelievable comeback. No doubt about it," Federer said. "One year ago, people were saying he might never play tennis again. One year later, he's world No. 1. That's how quick things can go in tennis, which is great."

"I'm really happy that Rafa's proved that you never write off someone like him,"

Interesting, the second time I've seen Fed saying he's glad Rafa's proved doubters wrong :)

You have nothing to say about what I wrote?.

To answer your question, all the 7 losses to Novak in 2011/2012, for one.

Actually I don't think it was so much that the roof was closed that hurt Nadal as it was the action of closing the roof. Nadal had just won the 4th set and was finally rolling in the match. But the long time it took to close the roof cooled Nadal's momentum and gave Rosol a chance to regroup.
Click to expand...

Exactly. It took about 40 mins to close the roof and get the Air conditioners working and robbed Rafa of all the momentum. OTOH Rosol GOATed.

Even though I am the biggest Nadal fan on this forum, I am a realist and realize what a tough draw Rafa has. I predicted Klizan would beat him but Rafa proved me wrong to my delight by beating Klizan by the same scoreline as their FO match last year.

But Nadal still looked very vulnerable for much of the match so I know Rosol will beat him tomorrow. It's terrible but it is better that I skip to the acceptance stage of my grief now for his impending loss. I hope Rafa can recover and repeat last year's summer hard court success. Rosol will win 6-7, 6-4, 6-4, 2-6, 6-4.

Nadal would fight until the last point, win or lose. As his biggest fan in this forum you should cheer for him until the last point. The match has not begun and you already gave up :shock:

Nadal is the most perfect player in every way and whatever he says is always the truth. Are you happy now? I can play "the blind fan routine" too you know. ;)
 
It's been two years now and Nadal fans still hold the grudge and don't want to give Rosol credit for the win, but insist that Nadal was injured when he was not. Nadal was totally outclassed by Rosol, just he was outclassed by Soderling in 2009 FO.

No player is unbeatable.
 
I agree with the OP.

Nadal doesn't have anymore his serve of 2 years ago, which is a huge disadvantage on grass.

Rosol in nearly 2.0 meters tall, and Rafa's moonballs play right into his stricking zone, both wings. He can end points in a flash, including on Rafa's weak second serves.

Rafa won his first round, but if people watch closely, it was mainly unforced errors from Krizan that won him the match, as opposed to winning shots/ volleys.

I think Rosol matches very well with Rafa; i give him a 60% chance of victory here on grass.
Rafa has the ability to up his level of play when needed, and if he doesn't produce today near optimum level, it's going to be a long match for him.
 
Hopefully Rafa makes short work of this and makes a statement. Things will get a lot better for him after this match if he wins... 6 hours! :D

You know, some of us think they are every bit as legitimate as you do and have never made excuses right? That's one big paintbrush you guys use :shock:

You know you're my favorite anti-Rafa guy here :) at least you say exactly how you feel and keep it humorous!
 
Why do people automatically count nadal out? This gets annoying. I am not a nadal fan at all, but before roland garros and all their doubts, and now wimbledon. Look Rosol could beat nadal tomorrow. That is for sure. But I don't just count out nadal so easily. The guy is a man of preparation. He is going to go in knowing that this guy beat him last time they played on this surface. So I know nadal isn't going to do some of the things he did last time they played. He ain't that stupid. So I think it can go either way, but I can see nadal easily winning this as well and not being surprised.

The later nadal gets into wimbledon his chances of winning it go up a ton. The grass wears out and it becomes more like dirt or clay. That suits nadal very well. If he can just hold on to the 2nd week. I think his chances of winning go up a ton. Right now the grass is fast and the ball is low. But it all chances in just 7 days. Let's see what happens.
 
Rafa will needs his FH-DTL to work as well as it has the past couple weeks. Certainly free points on his serve as well. Aces please!
 
Nadal still has a good shot at winning against Rosol. As good a shot as ever.

I am doing the same but tis silly,chilidish psychology.

I am in the grief stage because I am not allowing myself get excited about Wimby due to fear. I am living my life in fear at the moment. I am too afraid after the last two years - tis an awful feeling as I am not enjoying this tournament.

Anti-jinxing much ? I expect Nadal to comfortably beat Rosol -- I doubt it will be that close either. Rosol is just too flaky, and I expect Nadal to be fully dialed in and in revenge mode.
 
Why do a certain number of Nadal fans continue to produce threads or posts as fatalistic as this one? Is it some sort of compulsion?
 
Nadal is an expert at proving his doubters wrong, and Rosol isn't in good condition. The firm edge is towards Nadal.

Is Rosol truly injured? I keep hearing rumours, but nothing concrete. Where? Since when?
Rafa, of course, is never healthy. Knees, back, arse, SARS etc.

Like I said before, the spirit of Clarky possesses certain Nadal fans on TW during slams. winstonplum was afflicted by this condition during RG (and is not to be seen much now ?). OP seems to be the latest one in addition to others like LadyNinja , m2n2k etc

Oh and before I forget,

I don't have a source, but I believe it's true anyway. That was just my own opinion.
