It is you who doesn't know about tennis if you think Nadal has played well this year. He has reverted back to his 2006 dirt ball tennis on every surface this year. He is passive,defensive,stands too far back,gets no depth on his shots,and cannot serve to save his soul yet I am to believe he is playing stellar tennis. Gtfo.
And going from winning 7 titles last year,3 of them slams and 3 of them masters titles,to only winning 3 titles, one slam,and one masters,and a 500 event in Barcelona,is a big dropoff. He has been awful this season,and it's obvious to anyone with even 2 brain cells to rub together.
He had a good year. It could have been better but it could have also been worse. And he still has the chance to win the WTF.
I get the feeling that because he won so many RG titles, some people tend to think that having success there it's not such a big deal anymore, which is ridiculous.

Nadal will have a hard time next year.
Djokovic is just getting started and should be able to practice at a higher level.
Djokovic knows what it takes now and that should go a long way in planning his practices and court play.
Nadal has some dangers in trying to better his game, he may try to practice longer and try out some failing strategies, a lot can go wrong.

What rubbish. The number 2 ranked player in the world who basically was denied the same titles from 2010 by the number 1 ranked player in the world has "been awful"?? I'd love to see a tape of you play.

(Well, Nadal won't have a hard time next year unless his strategy fails, and there is nothing to suggest that.
Djokovic has a lot more to lose, defending every event apart from RG, until Cincy. Nadal whereas can gain huge points at the Australian Open, and gains huge ground on Djokovic every time Djokovic loses a match. And Djokovic still has to figure out how to beat Federer in slams, because he lost to Federer at RG in 4 sets, and trailed 2 sets to love at the USO. The AO is the only slam that Djokovic seems to have an advantage when he plays Federer)

:lol: Good Lord some of you are daft. So,you think Nadal has played as well as he can this year? You think that what we have seen from him is the best he can do? Maybe we should see a tape of you play if you believe that. I'm sure it would not be pretty.
In your words Nadal has "been awful".

Nadal cannot really gain many points himself as he would have to actually win the tournaments he made the finals of this year,and that it not happening. He is going to be in big trouble next year trying to defend all those finals. Cvac will be fine,and defend most of what he won this year with little trouble. Who is going to stop him? Nadal? :lol:

Compared to last year he has. His form fell off drastically this year. It has not been fun to watch I can tell you that much.
All he's really done drastically different is lose those finals to Djokovic

No way. He is not playing or moving nearly as well as last year. He was aggressive minded last year,and this year he has regressed back to his old run em' down defensive style. The only time he was really aggressive against Cvac this year was the first set in IW. That is what he is capable of doing to Cvac when he is playing decent,aggressive tennis. Not the junk we have seen from him the rest of the year.

Do you have a DeLorean and some plutonium,because that's the only way Nadal is ever going to play like that again.

I said earlier that a win is a win. Djokovic was perfectly entitled to take the MTO.

You are one of the most illogical and pathetic posters on this forum!
I can't put into words how idiotic your posts are. Please tell me you're not older than 10 years?

How about debating what I said instead of namecalling like a 2nd grader. So,genius what about my post was inaccurate? I am not the only person on here saying that he has not been aggressive enough this year. I'd tell you what I really think about you if it wouldn't get me banned.

He didn't lose the AO final to Nole-oh, wait: he didn't even REACH the final there...
Oh how horrible he ONLY reached the other three GS finals. and he didn't make the 2010 AO final either.
Too bad these mind games don't work on players named Novak Djokovic. He RELISHES the prospect of beating Nadal into the ground.

I didn't say a word about the other finals, you said "All he's really done drastically different(in 2011 compared to 2010) is lose those finals to Djokovic" (and I think 0-6 almost makes the word "drastic" an understatement)and I pointed out that that not only did he not lose to Djoke at a Grand Slam, not only did he NOT make the final, he lost to David Ferrer. All things considered, I'd say that was a pretty horseshy.te result, wouldn't you?

Who said Nadal played stellar tennis other than you? You continually put junk mail on here, i'm beginning to think you do it for a joke. It's obvious Nadal didn't have a great season, but only Djokovic had a better one. That should be obvious even to you.

The poster I replied to in that post implied he was was playing well,and so I posted that I beg to differ. And how can I post junk mail on here? Did this place suddenly morph into one giant email account or something? Lol.

Speaking of "junk mail," care to comment on your claim in post # 176 in this thread that Nole too TWO injury times out(????), not to mention that that's the only reason that he won (which implies that poor lil' Waffa was so upset by the Meanie's stalling that he went from a certain winner to a 6-1 loser)?

Rafa: Doesn't need to do anything new against entire except joker, he's dominating them, as seen by 1Slam, 2F and 1SF in slams.
Against joker: Rafa doesn't have any new ideas that work, much less game (newsflash: it wasn't seen in 6 matches this year).
It's amazing a thread was started for this topic, even more that it has 12 threads and going strong!!!

(There are no mind games.
Nadal is able to bring out his best tennis by being an underdog, it brings the best out of Nadal. Nothing to do with Djokovic. Djokovic isn't a factor when Nadal plays his best, and now the roles are more clearly defined like in 2008 when Federer was the supreme)
In 2011, Nadal considered himself the underdog and Djokovic went above and beyond and treated him as such. No Cinderella story for 2011....just your typical favorite pummeling the underdog.
Nadal can be the underdog all he wants. And Djokovic will show him what a true favorite can do to underdogs

more like nadal isn't a factor when djokovic plays his best. Like this year ...
Oh wait, the new Djoker doesn't even need to play his best to defeat nadal. Even just above average djoker beats nadal fairly easily !

Well get ready for Nadal to not play his best in 2012, as Djokovic's domination over him will certainly continue

hate to break it to you, but even nadal at his best can't beat just above average Djoker 2.0 .
He has to gasp and struggle just to get a set ala USO 2011

yes, it probably gets even worse for Nadal ... he'll stop winning the sets he has in the non-clay matches ......
or if he knows djoker is already in the finals, does he start tanking his semi matches ? :twisted:

no, I mean the 3rd set was just as good as he could play and he still struggled to win that set vs a just above average djoker ......If djoker plays any better than that, nadal is toast !
