there is no excuse for his loss, which some of you fedephants are acting like it was a beatdown when it was actually a razor thin victory and defeat, and Uncle Toni was not making one.
You are right, perhaps something is lost in translation. Maybe someone who speaks Spanish can tell us what was said, and what the context was, and whether they were asked a question by some journalist or what.His words mean that Wimbledon treats the Nadal exactly the same way as RG.
Is he complaining there?
But seriously, he's 8-5 there since 2011. Andy and Fed will get cc most of the time. But had it been Fed-Mueller and rafa-dimi I do think the latter could have gotten the spot. Mueller was juat not considered cc material given the other choices
you all are either reading way too much or not comprehending at all what Toni said.
This is like the worst place to discuss this topic because of the heavy load of a certain fan group. A more general tennis interested kind of people are better. So it is in no way we can expect some view on this that is not colored.
it did help some players! namely Federer and Murray!
Rafa played on other court than Chatrier this year
And they do put up and coming players on great courts not from France. France got so many players they could fill Chatrier every day first week if they want to, but they dont do it.

It is some bias, but when things happen like it did to Novak... it was taken way too far. He has won it 3 times. Very disrespectful. The whole "wimbledon is so classy" is not really true. It looks like that w the white and the grass.. but uts very sneaky stuff.
not this year!Murray has been put on Court 1 many times as well, despite of being top 4 player for a long time.
You are misinformed.
no one, including Tio toni, was saying that.
I dont trust the draw either. How can we trust that? In draws there should be a police or an official like that there, and when its done electronically its even easier fix it. When you see how Wimbledon has been fixing this year w players and schedule, its hard to believe the draw is not fixed too,,,
Its no grass masters though.
Slams are not ATP...
if you want to interpret it as sour grapes, then fine.
Federer and Murray should have at least played once on another court besides CC.So, you are not arguing on principle that it should be "fair"?
Let me ask you something.
How many times would Nadal have been scheduled on CC this year should everybody have gotten the same treatment to be at least one time on CC?
The Nadal camp whining?
whats hard to understand?
If Nadal had won the Muller match, Toni's critique would still be just as valid.
However, if Nadal had won, I doubt he would have said anything about it because he wouldn't have the time or inclination to do so (there would be more important things to do).
everyone started to notice that Federer and Murray were playing all their matches on CC, not just Uncle Toni...
It was in press all over the world. Its not like we are a few people in here stating this.

no. who is going to complain if there's nothing to complain about (excluding mother-in-laws)?
