Nadal's new annoying tic....

The sound of his shoes with those stutter steps he does just before returning a serve. I don't know if he was doing this before (I didn't notice) but it's very pronounced and you really can hear it. Djokovic doesn't seem to be bothered by it and maybe it's not as audible on court but on TV it gets picked up by the mic.

I'll take that over watching 3 hours of ass picking any day

I don't think that's a tic. That's just him trying to line up his contact point.

I think it's called 'footwork'.

I never noticed the stutter steps before but they were very pronounced today. I just found it very funny....reminded me of a point that Serena played against Venus (2 yrs ago maybe?) when they were both at the net and Serena was seriously stutter stepping while trying to anticipate Venus' volley direction.

Pretty entertaining :)

I can't help but think they have something to do with his twins...
