Umpires should ACTUALLY enforce the 25 second rule starting in early 2013!

Great reasoning - Nadal takes time, but so do others.

Apply the rules to everyone without favoritism or fear. Ever see the tantrums Nadal throws when an ump warns him about time?

He tries to intimidate the umpire if things don't go his way. Anyone remember this -

I'll never forget at the US Open where Delpo won, Nadal got a time violation warning, and whined to the umpire, "But I'm down 0-40!" to which the ump replied, with a perfect mixture of detachment and incredulity: "I don't care." That was the BEST!

That's beautiful.

I didn't say a single, solitary word about a video, I saw the match, against Monfils, in 2009, which, unfortunately, Nadal rallied to win.
