Why many on this board are reluctant to give Nadal any credit?

[kaiotic]

Add to that, that I just don't like the way Nadal plays the game. It's downright UGLY!! It's like watching the male version of Sharapova or Serena.

Federer, on the other hand, has a beautiful game. So smooth, so artistic, so creative, so much variety and touch but with power when needed. He is a wonder to behold. I never get tired of watching Federer play.

The way Nadal plays the game, to me, doesn't even look like tennis. It looks like some other distorted sport IMO.

Yup, you guessed it. I prefer classic style tennis.

can't agree with you more there. but i have to give Nadal world of credit for being that talented and is the only player to give Roger lose it like that. he's shown that he's not a one-trick pony parking on the baseline all day.

btw, I quite enjoyed women's Wimby final last week.
go, one-hand backhand!

oh yeah, someone please shut the shrieking maria up! so F*CKING annoying.

It fills me with a delight you can't imagine to know I and those like me have gotten so deeply under your skin that you felt you had to post this.

The only thing more tragic than those so oblivious to history and current trends that they think Nadal is more than a chemically-enhanced speck on the radar is those who take such assertions so deeply to heart that it makes them angry.

LOL @ you.

********SPAM ALERT********

DID YOU KNOW VAMOSRAFA RUNS A NADAL FANSITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!111111

IT ROXORZ!!! VISIT TODAY!!!!!!!

****THIS HAS BEEN SPAM*****

Grimjack; this is your male physchologist speaking......Your over the top Nadal stalking recently gives me pause (you used to occassionally post some pretty witty snippets). Perhaps you actually have some type of eroto-fixation that you are battling within your own metrosexual physche? Nadal is your strawberries and you are Quigg. Continue...its fun to watch in a sad way :| and I hope all of the young people can learn from this.

Nadal is nothing new its really boring when the media try to hype someone and then explode into nothing. Does anyone remember Roddick and Fererro? Where are these guys now? And what about Hewitt? Everyone four or five years ago said he could change tenns and all this crap. Hewitt is nowhere now. And as for Nadal he's media hype and i am not buying it. Remember when Roddick burst on to the scene a few years ago the USA press were going crazy. And remember everyone on message boards were saying he's a lot of hype. Fast forward to 2006 and we see Roddick slip right out of the top 10. Where is he now?

Nadal is like Chang won the French Open as a teen. The media are ludicrous they act like this has never happened before. Remember Becker he won a few slams I believe 2 before he was 20. Mats Wilander, Sampras won slams before the age of 20. Nadal has done nothing amazing or special. He's good I will give him that. However, Nadal wins a lot based on intimidation. A lot of the men players like Paul Henri Mathieu are immature. They let Nadal get to them with his stares and glares and his butt picking and his gamesmanship. Nadal wins a lot of matches based on his on court behaviour. People like Federer don't buy into the S.h.i.t. And neither does Moya or Blake two players that have beaten Nadal this year. Nadal is talented but his draw at Wimbledon was one the weakest i've ever seen. Anyone in the top 20 could of reached the finals with Nadal's draw. Nadal is good but I see him fading away like Hewitt and Chang. He's have a few more good years but I see the men figuring him out and beating him.

This is a perfect example of a Fed fan getting mad and pouring all the excuse craps.

No, it's a perfect example of someone who has never watched any of their matches.

Finally, some informed people on this forum! This is all true. I read somewhere that without Roddick's serve, he'd be ranked outside the top 50. And without Rafael's wedgie-picking ways, he would have only two titles (A Futures and a Challenger), no slams and his ranking would be in the 200's!

Please.

If Nadal didn't have his forehand, his court sense, spin, or his athletisism he'd be nothing but a journeyman

Back to the original post......

You have made a truly great point. The reason is that the Mods are Federer fans and censor anything they do not like.

Pro Nadal posts seem to just disappear and great Posters like Buffalo Bill simply get banned.

This post was very brave and even I am going out on a limb here. We are living in a Federer censored enviorment...so be careful .

can't take anybody with pants like that and sleeveless shirts seriously...
