Rafael Nadal appreciation thread

The tennis board is drowning in milky white juices.

I did realise these pictures turn you on so much. Sorry

Ever since the French Open finished? Nah.

 

[Thrawn]

You expect him to win 10 slams or something?

Yes, I do. If he's that good.

Fed is 26 and he has 2 or 3 more years to get whatever he can. Nadal has plenty of time and his only major threat is Djokovic in the future

Saying Fed has 2 or 3 years left as a serious threat is a bit of a stretch.

at 20?

Clay court bully. I get sick and tired of watching the best tennis players ever to play the game get denied winning the grand slam by these so called "specialists" who do nothing more than slide around on a red surface all their life.

Rafa is in a battle in this match. 4-4 in the 5th when polay resumes tonight. Rafa generally jumps pretty well from the blocks though and should have a bit too much big game experience foor Robin.

 

[Jono]

He better bloody win.

Whilst it'd be absolutely hilarious to see TP's reaction to Nadal getting knocked out by Soderling, I have money on the Raf, and Soderling shits me with his ugly forehand.

Rafa was up 2-0 when that match resumed from the previous delay, so he didnt jump too well out of the blocks then. If Nadal loses it'll open up the draw for Hewitt.

Soderling is an absolutely w***er, he tried to irritate nadal during the match by imitating him

Nadal is a joke for continuing his bullshit 30-40 seconds in between points at a tournament where time is of the essence and the players need to be quick as possible before the rain comes down again. Soderling had every right to be angry.

So why no one blames agassi? he was so quick inbetween the points, that he used to get really upset when the opponent was not in position. Thats a trick he successfully used against Courier many times.

 

[Jono]

TP, I know the rain did interrupt Nadal, but you better hope he lifts his game in the next few rounds because his 4th set was very ordinary.

Wimbledon needs a strong Nadal at least getting to the semis so hopefully he does well.

 

[Total Power]

I doubt he will beat Youhnzy though.He has lost all confidence on grass it seems and he has a very tough draw.Youzhny and then Berdych. Looks very unlikely. But bring on the hardcourt season

 

[Geddy Lee]

Youhnzy/Berdych/Hewitt/Federer, as tough as it could possibly be for Nadal on grass.

I am not worried about hewitt or federer.Federer is in the finals anyway, i will be extremely happy if he makes the finals.However he has problems against the birdman and youzhny, cause they hit the ball so flat.

They are his bogey players, and I will be surprised if he beats Misha, and downright stunned if he beats Berdych.

 

[Drummond]

RAFA!!!!

 

[Jono]

Haha what a fight back from The Raf!

Mental toughness, not many have it in this sport but Rafa has it in boat loads. Brilliant stuff.

Brilliant from the Fed Killer. I would love to find out what his 5 set record is. He just lost 1 five set match from memory.The mentally strongest guy out there.Beating Misha on grass was no mean feat VAMOS king rafa
