Yeah The Spanish Cheater knows bo other way to disrubt his opponent momentum!
He is alao taking 1 min between serve and was penalized once only.
Tsisipas yesterday was booked twice in one game on the 26 and 27 sec. And his clock was starting straight after the point was ended. Yet they are starting Nadal clock 10 sec later....

Shapo was in the zone and Nadal game was struggling so he decide to fake an injury as he very often does when he is losing in that manner.
Pathetic!!!

And yet still couldn’t move to some Shapo returns in the 5th - that’s an elaborate fake.

You're an idiot, sorry to tell you mate.
I mean you can like whoever you want and dislike anybody as well - but Rafa was clearly almost out of it, was almost waiting for him to faint.

He put all the energy into the serves and it paid off. Honestly one of the most impressive tennis performances in the last years - but I do not expect you to understand

There isn't much you have in tennis.

1. MTO
2. Time in-between serves
3. Time in-between sets

You don't even have challenges anymore right? I guess another tactic is strategic tanking of games too.

faking injured during games like djoker is the best tactic

What people don't understand is the difference between real and fake injuries:

- Real ones make you loose sets/games first and then you get treatment
- Fake ones "occur" when you are losing already and suddenly find an injury to stop rhythm

Anybody with a working brain can tell the difference usually

u r right
exactly djoker faked injury during games, e.g. the match against murray at AO! 2015, so it is the best tactic

Wasn't it you who constantly repeated that Shapovalov was going to beat Nadal?

Yeah I'm a Canadian rara guy who dresses up at tennis tournaments with the flag as a cape....

Does that somehow make my statement about limited extras in tennis wrong?

True, he won the whole tournament with a muscle tear, that even defy science. Truly son of god as his Father claims.

dont forget after match saying that he was close to throwing in the towel after suffering a muscle injury and warned ‘definitely something serious’ happened to his body so that he had won the AO.

You can judge on a case to case basis. He strained something, felt some pain, couldn't move properly and assumed the worst.
Hardly faked, but exaggerated as again, he just got scared he may have to retire and assumed the worst.

The one against Murray in AO 15 is a stunt I did not like however.

Dude he claimed a tear and with tear you wouldn't recover with in few days and run like a bunny by final. Come on , let's not sacrifice reason here.

When exactly today did Nadal take that MTO? I must have missed it.. only saw him with the fan and the ice neck pillow afterwards
