Pella. "Djokovic's balcony is bigger than my room. But at least he said something. I'm surprised with Nadal and Thiem's silence".

Tired of the Djoker bashing here. [though I'm NOT his fan ]
In Rafa's defence, may be he had a talk with Tiley, not his style to release letters!

ah, the beauty of social crapwork (twitshit, fecesbook, instaflush, etc.):
- you speak, you get smashed.
- you say nothing, you get smashed.
in those conditions, can you blame players for not saying anything?
(but what the nadal did -or didn't do- is, of course, simply inacceptable and disgusting)

Ban Pella!
He should have been banned because of his tennis, long before any of this.

Here's Thiem on the situation:
Confirmation that players in Adelaide pretty much getting the same treatment as players in Melbourne (apart from unlucky locked up from the covid planes)

Quarantine is not fun. I have friends and relatives who have had to do it. They actually had to pay for their quarantine though.
I've stayed at two of the three hotels where the players in Melbourne are located. One is a good hotel, the other is one of the best in the city.
The players knew they had to quaratine for two weeks. Some say they also knew if they came into contact with a confirmed Covid case they would probably not be allowed to travel to courts to train, others say they didn't know. I would have thought that was common sense, but I guess that's asking too much of some tennis players.
Regardless, those complaining about having to quaratine knew they were coming to quaratine. What did they expect?

Pella has not commented on Wawrinka's suite in Melbourne.
Common denominator for size of rooms: Being a previous Champion.

I'm not his fan but Djoker is the only real person out there. Acting like a normal human being, making mistakes and also doing good stuff. The rest of the top just sits in silence pretending to be perfect while in fact they are just afraid of the media and their reputation. Go Nole be a human being, we have enough media trained robots.

What about them?
This.
Not sure why anybody would be thinking Nadal and Thiem are obligated to say anything.
This says it all about what kind of person Stan is truly, but what else can you expect from an elitist SwissPella has not commented on Wawrinka's suite in Melbourne.

Why should Nadal and thiem talk about other players' issues ?? They are not desperate to be liked ,isn't it ? ( As per TTW )
Infact , those who never support lower ranked players and keep their mouth shut in times of crisis are loveable and are actual feminists . They never talk freely and hence they can't make mistake too . Smart

You can't brag about Federer's billions but bash Djokovic for his millions.

Yep, easy to not make any mistakes when you're not actually doing anything. I don't think the rest of the top guys are even afraid of media backlash, they simply don't give a sh1t. Novak can be loony at times but he does care.

Nadal and Thiem are too busy practicing and training unlike all those other players who just complain over and over. That's why since play re-started last August only Nadal and Thiem have won slams.

Nadal does not like drama off court. I am sure he is quietly supporting players and saying what he thinks to administrators in his own way.
Djokovic seeks drama. The more public the better. The more self-sabotaging the better. If he can look the victim and self-aggrandize, bingo!

just like for some poasters anything that Novak does or doesn't is by definition disgusting and unacceptable because, well, he is The Nadal.

Yeah they knew what they signed up for. Any moaning and groaning on this issue basically means you're an entitled pro athlete who thinks they're special.

I understand how this is difficult as a fan. Despite being more of a Rafa supporter, I felt Novak was just being more mindful in this particular case. That said, Rafa is definitely more PC than Novak and we don't know if he is doing things behind the scenes. This particular case was harmless from Novak (imho) and media just blew it out of proportion.Why should Nadal and thiem talk about other players' issues ??

Give it to umpires. Coaches. Whatever. Players should have same treatment. but better food and training equipment in every room.
