Nadal has always chafed against the time violation warning, justifying it by saying that after a grueling point each player should be able to recover their breath, towel off, etc. before starting the next point.
He defines tennis played this way as "good tennis."
I understand his thinking, but I disagree with it. Enforcing the time violation means that players have to also deal with how to overcome anaerobic shortness of breath etc. and play the point differently under those conditions. I think that makes things a lot more interesting, personally.
