It is purely math, and if you knew how it worked then you’d know that roughly only a third of his points lost came from the CC season. I never said he doesn’t rack up a lot of points during the CC season. I said less than half of his points accumulated in 2022 that were then not defended in 2023 came from clay. You’re the one who’s completely ignoring all the points he racked up at the start of the year until 5/21/2022.
I agree.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.Many people like you guys were saying the same thing last year and he missed the entire CC season. And a year before that he missed the first month of the CC season. Recent history has outright disproven your narrative
Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
2023 does not disprove the narrative:
- In 2023 Nadal missed RG for the first time in 18 years
- In 2022, he missed big tournamment on clay for the first time in 15 years
This is really infuriating how he manages to get healthy for clay each and every year. But doesn't play hard courts.Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Very simple if you have half a brain. HCs are harder on the joints and muscles, and with Rafa's mileage it's understandable he gets injured playing on hard. The fact that he rests and recuperates for a month or two after the australian and NA hard court swing then comes back healthy on clay is anything but strange.. it's almost like rest and rehab heals injuries! Who knew!?
Then we should ban such players who can only perform so well on clay and can't even play on rest of the year. Its already very late but not too late.
Or we should ban such players who are supposed to be role models to millions and go around knowingly spreading disease to innocent people, and who also abuse match officials. Two can play this stupid game
Didn't he get banned already? You want him to finish the career or what?Or we should ban such players who are supposed to be role models to millions and go around knowingly spreading disease to innocent people, and who also abuse match officials. Two can play this stupid game
The problem is not with Nadal but with the fans. A player can decide to skip a tournament for many reasons: because of fatigue, to preserve his body, because of his state of mind, he doesn't fell 100% ready, his personal preferences, etc. Event Federer skipped the European clay court season and the French Open for 3 years in a row.
Of course it is bc it doesn’t suit you
Why would it suit us. Your Nadal just avoided a lot and now he is planning to play Monte CarloOf course it is bc it doesn’t suit you
2023 alone doesn’t disprove the narrative but:Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

Barcelona is a 500 series tournament. Why he missed it?
Why he missed it is quite frankly irrelevant. The fact is he missed it, it’s one of the most important tournaments for him, and it’s held in clay.
We don't care any bit what he missed before becoming a top player.
I’m well aware that you guys don’t care when things disprove your agendas lol. For all we know had he gotten to play those events he would have had more practice and experience to break through and win RG a year earlier.
Real agenda is 2-1 open now that you can't use 4-3
Again, that’s not an agenda that’s a factual statement. If you guys want to say he’s missed far more non-CC events compared to CC events (even though there’s far more non-CC events thus more opportunities to miss) then ok. But that’s completely different compared to saying he’s always healthy for clay.
You know you're excited for Monte Carlo
It's a theory not a theorem.
He will play couple rounds and either lose or pull out. This is all so he can be in peak physical condition for FO. If he wins will retire.
Rafa winning the FO is best for business
I am also excited for Miami but Nadal isn't here.You know you're excited for Monte Carlo
I'm excited for Miami now too
Whatever label you want to use is irrelevant. You guys are pushing a narrative that’s he’s always healthy and never missing CC events. I just showed you a list of events proving that statement wrong. Now if you had said he’s missed less events on clay compared to non-CC events then that’s completely different. Then again there are way more non-CC events compared to CC events so there’s more opportunities to miss.
Miami still has other top players so you should.I'm excited for Miami now too
Like I said man, there’s a huge difference between saying he’s always healthy for clay vs he’s missed more clay events. The first is an absolute statement the other isn’t. You wouldn’t even acknowledge that he lost more points from not defending his January-March HC points vs his CC season points.
You, Fed devotee, posted a Rafa basher's (aka a Djoko fanatic) tweet. Bashers' trash talk has no importance.
It's Rafa bashers who are constantly generating dumb imaginary stories about him. His injury history has been well documented, but it hasn't stopped his bashers from constantly generating stupid false stories about him.
Which you sarcastically said “Who cares?” Easy to say that when you’ve been proven wrong lol.
Drop the Raffers. Rafael Nadal. Mr Nadal for you.
The posts where you have trash talked Rafa don't show that honesty is your style, Fed devotee.
Rafa fans who replied to 'that guy' (the Djoko fanatic) destroyed 'that guy'. (Click on the timestamp of his tweet and scroll down to read the replies.)
Rafa did not cite an injury:
