Toni Nadal reflects on "painful" ATP Finals loss

plus he didn't play particularly bad in that game, it was mostly med raising the level

Medvedev choked himself bigtime losing twice in a row his serve.

Then Rafa gave him back the choke.

As others have written (in the USO final thread), it's really a pity someone was forced to win that match.

Man, everything you just said is common sense.
But she's 32...there's plenty of time for her to have kids.

Two words for you: derp derp

then you know another common sense, from physiological point of view:
giving birth at 25 is better than at 30
giving birth at 30 is better than at 35
giving birth at 35 is better than at 40

tick tack

Can't hold his nerves when it really matters anymore.

It's alright if you guys are in denial.

Doesn't mean he can't win AO or USO anymore: he just needs Rublev or Tsitsipas to take out Thien, Medvedev, Zverev.

Don"t take my word; you'll see for yourself.
You've been here long enough to learn the lesson that betting against Nadal can easily get you burned.

Any of the big 3 really. As long as they stay in the pro tour, I won't be surprised if any of them wins any given tournament.

Finland is a country with really lax borders - people get in there and out of there all the time.

The point is she's 32 and has plenty of time to give birth.
Derp derp.

You're right, at the senior age of 32, she has about a week left to have kids. Someone please tell her and Rafa before they miss their chance!

Jesus...some of you guys here legit have negative IQs...

Oh, how sweet of you to cherry pick only the part of the post where you can answer something.
What about the other part of the post?
Lol, your IQ isn't any further based on such cherry picking

I had heard WTF is an exhibition?

Why is Toni glorifying an exhibition?

It will be fun to see Rafael fans tackle this one.
Definitely shows how unimportant the event is. Classic Toni trying to keep Rafa motivated which may be harder if these bubbles continue. Anyone who has read Nadal autobiography knows his team are not that interested in it. Yes would like to win it but never a priority.
Loving the salt still being sprinkled though at N20dal. Hilarious

I didn't cherry pick...
I chose not to respond to the 2nd part of your post because it literally makes no sense.

"why the "less" slim, which presumably shall make less attractive has(ve) more kids than Xisca?"

Like, what are you even trying to say? You make zero grammatical sense. Re-word it so that it actually makes sense and then I'll respond.

Toni has basically said its a glorified exho.
Toni has also said after Rafa won 20 slams that Fed is GOAT, I cannot stop laughing:

"I say the best is Roger Federer because he has more tournament titles, more wins, more weeks of number one and everything counts. For me, he’s a wonderful player. I like a lot to watch Roger Federer. If I was not the uncle or the coach of Rafael, I want Federer to win all the matches. I like how Federer plays because he’s very elegant, but he’s very effective, too. I know Federer is the best ever. I don’t know maybe with Rod Laver… Rafael is not too far. Federer is the best.”

Hmm. In this piece of text you quoted, Toni doesn't say anything about the ATP Finals.

Toni is correct saying that Fed has more tournament titles. But the most important thing he says is that Rafa is not too far.

Read it once again, it's a simple structure.
If you can't comprehend it, it just confirms your IQ level
 
Iq level confirmed.
Not worth other answer
You could try and re-phrase your post to something that actually makes sense, but you probably don't even know how. Poor guy. Not surprising given you think Xisca won't be able to have children soon.
What next, earth is flat? Covid is fake?

Bye bye, derp derp

Can you please quote where I said that she won't be able to have kids soon?
I said that the biological clock for women works differently than for men, but given your IQ level, not surprised that you understood something else.

"Rafael's defeat against Daniil Medvedev in Saturday's semifinals at the Nitto ATP Finals was painful, given the magnitude and importance of the tournament and, above all, because a great opportunity slipped away: a cup that he has never been able to lift, having deployed all week tennis of the highest level," Toni said.

"This is how, as has happened on other occasions, Rafael could not finish a magnificent season with the finishing touch that would mean crowning himself master of masters," said Toni.

No 25 RG’s could take away that pain?

Toni is becoming a Rafa hater.

In fact I believe he always has been.

Nobody puts down Rafa as Toni does. Just rubs it in every time. Rafa haters could learn a few things from this guy.

That was always Toni's tactic to keep Rafa humble and modest and not get too cocky and full of himself and then come crashing down like many precocious young guys have done. Got to say it worked a treat!

No. Toni doesn't hate Rafa. OP (a Fedfan), who is not aware of terms being used in the Spanish media for decades, is trying to manipulate readers.
