Tony Nadal: I want Djokovic to get injured before Roland Garros and the Olympics

:rolleyes:

"Rafa will probably play this year at Roland Garros and I hope he will be in good shape. I would like him to win another Grand Slam, it would be really nice for him and the whole family. The only thing I would not like to see is Djokovic in Paris, neither at Roland Garros nor at the Olympic Games, where I hope for gold for Nadal. "I would like Djokovic to get injured along with a few others so that my nephew can reach the final more easily," said Toni Nadal."

The media reports that Tony Nadal made this comment with a smile and was probably joking, however, he received huge criticism from the sports public. We will remind you that Nadal is currently in the process of rehabilitation and is expected to perform in the USA at Indian Wells and Miami.

I am sure Tony didn't really mean that. However, I seriously doubt Rafa will win another slam or play IW or Miami.

Before you guys start talking shiit, remember - Tony is not being malicious here, he's just recognizing the strength of Rafael's opponents and trying to make a joke.

Makes sense for laws of averages.

Makes sense to make up for 12-16 slams missed for certain Competitors.

Makes sense for the 21/23 asterisks Where's the 112-3 RG GOAT was missing/injured.

Makes sense when you vulture your way to 12 slams after 28/30 beating Pauls and Sheltons.

Even though he is joking, uncle Toni should know that athletes don’t even joke about each other getting injured, and that it’s a taboo topic. And I know he’s done this before, which is strange, since you’ll never hear anyone else say anything like this.
 
This is not the first time he has made this “joke”, it is time to renew his repertoire...

exactly. is he going to say this every tournament he plays?

Yeah, it's a little bit out of the line, but not really out of his character.
 
Thanks. I was doubtful now you clarified that its disinformation
Rafa's never changed, ever. He has the same exact body he had as an 18 year old. To say anything looks different is cheating the readers. That's the only reason the photo is false.

in theory, he used to to have an appendix, didn't he? :unsure:
... isn't it displayed in a jar, somewhere in the multi-level 'excuse section' of the vamosalaplayan temple?
 
Nadal’s legs look a little different here
Rafa bashers have always spread disinformation.

Hmm. My reply to @Azure's comment "Nadal’s legs look a little different here" meant: "Rafa bashers, among them creators of the picture she quoted, have always spread disinformation."

We’re gonna need multiple Wambulances for our more sensitive posters after that harmless joke.

Everybody whooshing / completely misunderstanding Toni’s comments here, and then rushing to pat themselves on the back about feeling offended :-D
Nice try, but it's clear what Toni is doing, trying to shake Djoko's confidence by amplifying his superstitious beliefs with comments about a potential injury, pretty malicious I would say and all this is just a part of his diabolical plan to get Ned to the top again.

It's on Djokovic fans. If they had understood the joke the first time Toni mightn't have bothered telling it again.

It definitely sounds like a joke. I don't see any ill-intentions. If anything, that's a respect towards Djokovic on display.

No it doesn't. We don't give Delpo 5 more slams because he was talented enough to do it but never healthy enough to compete. The body is part of playing a sport. If it can't remain healthy, it can't compete.

It’s never nice or respectful to joke about harm coming to others.

Your comment clearly shows your genes should be removed from the genepool, by an accident. J/k, it’s my respect towards you.
 
Toni wanted injuries is on Nole, Alcaraz, Medvedev before AO --> Nadal tore his muscle


Toni wanted injuries on Nole & others before FO & Olympic ---> ?
 
You can never know what a person is really thinking. What they say is not necessarily what they think and vice versa.
Someone can also train Federer and secretly be in favor of Djokovic.
Nothing is certain except actions. But there are doubts about the motivation behind the actions.
