Just jumping in, I'm still trying to recover from the 2012 AO! I watched it live after being up all day! I believe Nadal has always been a time-waster and Nole only started to do it in retaliation! Rafa likes to control the tempo of matches; no big secret he's abused his status for years! It's only been lately he's actually stopped complaining about being "called" on his stalling tactic! Nadal has abused the rules going back years where Roger may have won on clay if not for stalling and working the system on several occasions! Great players don't need to do stuff like that! Borg never ran "game" and stepped up to the line with time to spare! It's the reason I'll never give credit to Rafa and his accomplishments because of his lack of sportsmanship at times when he feels in jeopardy of losing; even to a friend like a DC team mates! With friends like him, not sure I'd need any enemies! :angel: :dodgy: :cover
Don't be ridiculous. You actually believe Novak curtailed his regimen to get back at Nadal! :lolz: The whole thing is laughable. No one told Novak to bounce the ball 16, uh my bad, 17, uh my bad again, 18 times. Or have you conveniently forgotten he came on the tour doing that. He's actually reduced it to
5-6 times over the last few years because it had been talked about so much.
