I thought the low bounce of the knees wasn't good for the balls?
He has lost his balls these days so there is no problem
He needs to grind for points just like the rest of the guys fighting for tournament spots.
Simple, he wants to do well again on grass.
Also he has said for a long time now that his knees are fine.
Don't forget he also wants to qualify for the WTF; by playing more tournaments, he increases his chances of doing that.
The extra week between RG and Wimbledon has given him more time to fit in more grass practice hence the decision to play Stuttgart as well as Queens.
He hasn't made it to the 2nd week of Wimbledon since 2011, and is determined to stop that happening again by getting as much grasscourt practice as he can.
he needs points for the ranking, he said that the WTF was his goal this year. Also Tio Tony said that Rafa´s knees are ok so he will try his best on grass no?
He's playing Stuttgart, Queen's Club and Wimbledon because he wants as much grass-court tennis as he can get. His results on grass from 2012 onwards have been average to poor.
I'd hate to see this happen to him again:
I thought the low bounce of the knees wasn't good for the balls?
lol I'm not at all surprised that no one of TTW heard Nadal say in his interview that he'd like grass season to have at least one more week.
TTW fans logic: As he gets older, his knees along with his grass game, will get better the more he plays.
Pfft...glorified round robin exhibition, I doubt KOC is innerrested.

Nadal did reach the second week last year Mainad so it hasn't been that long for him. :wink:
I am sure he wants to go further still don't you think?![]()
What he wants and what he gets are two completely different things.
Tell that to Djokovic and his talking about wanting the FO more than anything for the past five years. :lol:
Well I'd say that's more the media than anything else but whatevs. Still more chances to get that FO anyway. Nadal on the other hand..........
No it isn't just the media. Djokovic has been very vocal about his desire to win the FO.
As for him winning it in the future, I am going to say he probably won't.
Well I'd say that's more the media than anything else but whatevs. Still more chances to get that FO anyway. Nadal on the other hand..........
No way bud.
I'd say his chances of winning FO are greater than Nadal's are of winning Wimbledon. Anyway Novak's already an all time great with or without RG so it won't be the end of the world either way.
Lol, which of those years did it make it all the way to "average?"
His knees bounce? Poor balls.I thought the low bounce of the knees wasn't good for the balls?
$$$$$$
2MM appearance fee. He has to cash in as much as possible. I think any player would take that if they had two bum knees
I've read those SlamKing poasts about the healed kneels, was it the stem cell or PRP that regenerated them?
Anyway - no need to sweat the small stuff, I can't wait for the 140MPH SWO serve this year.
Vamos!

Last year, when he avenged the Rosol defeat.
A 4th round whipping at the hands of yet ANOTHER player with 3 digits in his ranking is an average result???? Yeah, anything you say, talk about setting the bar low, lol.
He got to the second week, I'd say that surely qualifies as "average"...
And Rafa's already have two Wimbledon titles.
Yes way when its the media that brings up the topic in the first place.
