Tongue and cheek from Rafa.

Tongue in cheek - and polite from Rafa


Absolute honesty would read something like -
"Of course I'll miss Federer in Madrid," admitted Nadal, who lost thrice to the Swiss player this. "He beat me 3 times on hard court this year - I'd love to take him on here in Madrid on clay"

(That would come across belittling - I imagine it's a lot closer to the truth than the playing-along-with-the-question joke he made!)

Obviously my attempt to channel suresh failed.

Dull doesn't like taste of his medicine? Before he used to score a bunch of victories on clay over Federer and used to disappear in second half. Now it's Federer who scored 3 victories and disappeared on clay leaving H2H king in utter ruins. Must say well done Federer.

The fewer top players playing, the better chance for him to win. Nadal wouldn't missed Nole or any top clay players either if they're not playing Madrid. Nadal prefers the easiest draw as possible, despite know full well that it's better for the tournament and fans when all top players are present.

Literally everyone would prefer to play a bunch of low-ranked, weaponless players in every round if they could - it would mean expending less effort en route to winning a title

Really? Some players embraced the challenge, because beating higher ranked players, the sweeter the victory.

I figure players would like to play those they are confident in beating, not necessarily mugs. Federer probably wouldn't have minded playing multiple Roddicks at Wimbledon in 03-07, since he'd know exactly how to beat them. Nadal of the past wouldn't have minded playing multiple Federers at RG. But this year may be different...
