Rafael Nadal has withdrawn from Monte Carlo:

[DogInSpace]

Yea this.

Please don't ever change your av.

Everytime I read your post I think "what the hell...".

Then I read your post while imagining that it is your av speaking and "oh yeah, makes sense now"

 

[RF-18]

Well at least you both admit that he "was" injured and simply isn't ready "yet." I've led you that far.

Whereas with Djokovic, everyone knows his injuries were faked from the very beginning, hence the lack of drop off in performance or any time missed.

Look I know you were looking forward to Rafa playing again and is now brimming with anger and taking it out on Djokovic. Try to calm down a bit.

It was pretty obvious to everyone that this was coming ever since Rafa said he had no plans set. Only ********* whose brains are stuck on "Nadal-healing-properties-of-clay" mode didn't see this coming or note that Nadal missed Monte Carlo and Barcelona last year, too.

 

[SonnyT]

Well, his fans swore Nadal was ready for AO!

Now, they swear he's ready for RG!

Lol you are the one spamming butthurt comments over Djokovic in a Rafa statement. Nobody mentioned Djokovic here before you.

Now, they swear he's ready for RG!

I don't know what boards you are reading but at least today all I see is ********* saying that he will be flying at RG

Just like he was about to in MC

Nadal fans were actually saying that he may not be ready for MC because you know... he got injured really bad at AO.

But create your own reality as you want.

 

[nolefam_2024]

This is GOD's wish. They stopped Djokovic from competing in Sunshine doubles so God is allowing Novak to play Monte Carlo without any opponents. Fair is fair.

 

[weakera]

Lol you are the one spamming butthurt comments over Djokovic in a Rafa statement. Nobody mentioned Djokovic here before you.

You are truly shameless. A known ******** comes in here with a "good riddance!" comment, and then cries foul when Djokovic is mentioned in return.
Similar to a toddler who holds his finger an inch away from another kids face yelling, "but I didn't touch you!" lol

He was stopped by Dan Evans and Davidovich-Fokina last 2 times he played MC...

Are they healthy or injured right now?

 

[The Blond Blur]

Geez that’s back to back years he’s missed his favorite tournament. But remember guys, he’s totally faking his injuries

 

[Clay lover]

He plays: ZOMG lolz he magically heals for clay he faked all his injuries

He doesn't play: ZOMG lol good riddance he's ducking Djokovic he's still on his PED cycle

Goalposts move whenever the haters surface

Some of them are the vilest and most self-contradictory of all

 

[MeatTornado]

This is why you don't celebrate someone being on an entry list like it means they're back.

 

[The Blond Blur]

Good riddance!

Stay classless

 

[StrongRule]

Geez that’s back to back years he’s missed his favorite tournament. But remember guys, he’s totally faking his injuries

The statement "clay has healing powers" has now turned into "a clay slam has healing powers".

 

[NAS]

This is why you don't celebrate someone being on an entry list like it means they're back.

I think for Master entry list is automatic unless you take your name back

 

[nolefam_2024]

If Rafa isn't back till Madrid there is serious chance he doesn't even any title on clay. That would mean retirement is nearby. But if he still wins some titles on clay, obviously he will stay a bit longer. 2023 or 2024 is last year for him. Especially with Paris Olympics coming next year he might stay around till next year. But end is near.

 

[RS]

He can’t play as much clay anymore. Worked at RG last year.

 

[Deleted member 791948]

Ferrer called it-

David Ferrer: “We still don’t know if he will be in Monte Carlo but he will surely be in Barcelona and will arrive well for the tour on the clay."

Ferrer recently spoke to reporters at the Royal Spanish Tennis Federation about Nadal’s fitness, “Nadal is training quite well with intensity.” He continued, “We still don’t know if he will be in Monte Carlo but he will surely be in Barcelona and will arrive well for the tour on the clay. I have...

Check your comments in the Alcaraz thread kekw.

 

[WeekendTennisHack]

Sounds like Federer when he was promising to return .

Fed was saying he is optimistic. He never claimed he will surely return.

 

[Kralingen]

Looks like he was right to cast doubt on the return

 

[jm1980]

Please cease the trafficking in fake news

"Hello everybody, I'm not yet ready to compete at the highest level. I won't be able to play in one of the most important tournaments in my career, MC. I'm not yet fit enough to play w/the highest guarantees & I'm going on w/the recovery process, hoping to comeback soon"

I speak Spanish fluently. Nowhere in the original tweet in Spanish does he say he's going through recovery

Whoever translated it this way must have misread "continúo mi proceso preparación" as "continúo mi proceso [de] recuperación"

EDIT: Or rather, they did not misread. They got it from Nadal's Instagram, where he said "y continúo mi proceso de recuperación y preparación". But the original tweet did not mention recovery at all

[Pheasant]

What a major bummer! Hopefully, Nadal can recover in time to be in good form by RG.

I wish you the best, Rafa!

 

[Apun94]

Whatever, he'll be flying come rg.

Ofcourse, because he will try to be fully fit for RG. That's why he's skipping his second most successful tournament ever

 

[Walrus Gumball]

I sad this to Octobrina 3 days ago. In the most recent videos Rafa is hitting the ball with power but he is still half slow when he needs to run to left or accelerate on the left foot. Hoping for Rafa - Novak title match in Paris.

Yes when he lost to Tiafoe at USO that is what I noticed, cannot move left.

 

[Turning Pro]

Actually a smart move. Younger Dal would have played it and risked an injury.... Ala 2016.

 

[fishpiefriday]

Shame.

 

[jm1980]

Player A - claims that he is injured - performence doesn't suffer, plays the tournament, doesn't take time off to recover, plays upcoming events
Player B - claims that he is injured - performene goes to sh*t, withdraws, takes months off, withdraws from upcoming events

Nole fans logic - Player A clearly injured, Player B clearly fakes.

Never change

"Player A" has entered one whole tournament since the injury, far from his normal during this part of the season

 

[CoolCoolCool]

He should skip Madrid and only play Barcelona and Rome.

Fair play but the Twitter account I reported from doesn't make mistakes, so whether it was that Tweet being translated or I mistook it for coming from IG, I knew it was legit.

 

[jm1980]

On topic I hope Rafa gets better soon.

I want to see him beaten on court, not by injuries

 

[GabeT]

if you get asked by a girlfriend about what you want for dinner you answer "whats Djo eats" ?

What other possible answer is there?

God works in mysterious ways!

 

[DSH]

2022 took a lot out of him.

And many here said that he was "afraid" to face punk in the Wimbledon semifinals.

 

[mike danny]

And many here said that he was "afraid" to face punk in the Wimbledon semifinals.

I think they were referring to Djokovic, not Punk.

Oh yeah I forgot that this horrible, horrible hamstring injury kept him from playing IW and Miami :/

Oh wait... I think It was something else.

 

[D_m_a]

So this means he is guaranteed to win the French Open!

 

[DSH]

Geez that’s back to back years he’s missed his favorite tournament. But remember guys, he’s totally faking his injuries

The only one faking his injuries is the wolf-turned-Serb Vulture.

 

[Kralingen]

Djokovic Nadal fanboys throwing crap at each other about injuries is the lowest form of discussion imaginable. God I hate it. So boring, so childish

 

[Nostradamus]

Hi everyone, I'm still not ready to compete at the highest level. I will not be able to play in one of the most important tournaments of my career, Monte Carlo. I am not yet in a position to play with the maximum guarantees and I continue my preparation process, hoping to return soon

https://twitter.com/i/web/status/1643184272654622720

Get fit soon, Rafa.
Vamos!

so RAFA to retire after french open ?? wow...... this is big time news

 

[Genie Of the Bank]

Yes when he lost to Tiafoe at USO that is what I noticed, cannot move left.

I presume that is the foot which Rafa burned the nerve in it.

He played his next tournament more than a whole month later.

Also, it goes without saying that not every injury is the same, they all have different recovery times. Even the recovery time for the same injury can vary from person to person

it's really sad that alcaraz withdrew from monte-carlo...

he skipped MC last year too.

 

[kevin qmto]

Good riddance!

I say that every time joker or Rafa pulls out of an event and people get mad at me. So finally someone else is saying it.
