Now you are saying this. What happened when countless idiots talking up so called the weak era in Fed's prime?
false equivalency and false context at it's finest. No matter how one tries to spin it, Nadal won the US Open and he could only play one opponent at a time and had no control over who that would be. ENd of Story. No battles Needed. Nothing to Prove for either Fed or Nadal.
Ha ha Toni has always been blunt and honest. Sometimes a bit too much actuallyUncle Toni now a hero to Nadal-haters

Forget about not playing a big 4. He didn't have to play a big 27! which is really unusual (actually unique) for a slam. I'm sure Rafa knows he cannot count on that repeating often regardless of what Toni says in interviews. Rafa is very lucid and I still think hard court is a very difficult surface for him in general but he's a hard worker and he never gives up. That's why he's still here and still winning.read the full article, he actually contradicts himself wildly in directions that would make people love/hate him
one one hand the win against the journeyman Anderson was no different than any othergrand slam, so no more difficult or unusual for Rafa than beating Fed or Novak
but then again it was different because he didn't have to face one of the Big 4/5
one thought?..the usual Toni approach of not allowing Nadal to think he's special kicking in again?
surprised he didn't make Rafa sweep the court of debris after everyone left
seriously, probably is good at this point if Rafa doesn't have to hear it anymore even as effective as it's been
Such humility !!!
Yes, he uses this interview to spur the kid.
Don't you think Nadal is old enough and wise enough by now to fully understand that Uncle Toni is full of you know what?
Nadal isn't going to do anything that Toni wants him to do. He doesn't have to. Toni is passe. It's Moya that is doing the real work.read the full article, he actually contradicts himself wildly in directions that would make people love/hate him

Nadal doesn't need Toni's praise or ridicule at this point. That nonsensical garbage about downplaying Nadal's achievements isn't going to work at this point. Nadal's an adult in his 30s. Not a teenager. Go home Toni! You're fired!
How can anyone criticize Toni, who is far and away the GOAT coach with 16 majors for his pupil? Toni is now passé?
Let's see Moya coach anyone to 16 slams.
First of all, I agree with your sentiment. It is ultimately sensible to remove subjective evaluation of the draw strength when totting up the slam wins.

No one is arguing that it is nadals fault. That's absurd how could it be. They're saying he won against a not only a weak field but a bunch of mugs. Some nadal fanboys say Feds slams against multiple slam champions e.g. Safin and Hewitt were weak players. If that is the case then by that logic nadals draw is not just weak or mugs but complete nobodies. Objectively Anderson is the lowest rank US open finalist of all timefalse equivalency and false context at it's finest. No matter how one tries to spin it, Nadal won the US Open and he could only play one opponent at a time and had no control over who that would be. ENd of Story. No battles Needed.

Not criticizing Toni as a coach. I'm criticizing Toni for criticizing Nadal. Anyone who tells his pupil that he only won the USO because he had an easy draw is a whacko. Especially when his pupil is in his 30s and no longer a kid. LOLHow can anyone criticize Toni, who is far and away the GOAT coach with 16 majors for his pupil? Toni is now passé?

Not as successful. Since Toni coached Rafa since 3 years of age
