Except Andy and Rafa have different doctors who offer different "medical treatments." Rafa's has a "special regime" that should be able to prolong his career. :p :D

Nadal also saves himself by not playing for months at a time! No other top player in the history of the game has taken so many "leave of absences!" He defaults / withdraws at the last moment either at the beginning of a tourney or when things get tough like at last season's AO & USO in 2 semis! Andy unfortunately pushed thru all too often, going a long 5 sets last night as if his life depended on it! I didn't watch it, but I can imagine he did irreparable damage to himself and he's going to pay an even higher price for the insanity of stretching that match out against RBA unnecessarily! :whistle: :nono: :facepalm: :cuckoo: :eek: :rolleyes: :rip:

And are you disagree with that? you also should ask the Federer doctor his medical treatment to prolong his career :pB-)

Wait, what do you think I am saying? Are you, perhaps, being overly defensive?

Well, when the comments are coming from some of you it's right to be a little defensive.......B-)

You talking to me? I'm just stating facts; Nadal's taken many a vacation over the years to rest his weary body! A lot of the time I was thinking he was clearing his system of PE's since he was pumped up at one time, then a skinny wretch the next! :whistle: :nono: :facepalm: ;-):

I'm half watching the replay of Murray's match against RBA and I just don't understand it! He's been on the court for almost 4 hours going into this 5th set, and I can't fathom what he's getting out of killing himself like this? His mother is up there cheering and applauding away instead of looking concerned he's on his last legs! :nono: :facepalm: :banghead: :cuckoo: :eek: :sick:

Scots believe that you've got to "keep right on 'til the end of the road" like Harry Lauder sung in his most famous song.

What a idiot you are, maybe you should try to focus on your favorite and maybe you would find something else....

Don't you think it's just a bit coy to write this, and with the implication of emoticons that you're saying something naughty, and then accuse Carol of being overly defensive? So, then, what DO you mean by "special regime?"

Pavlov's dog.

Moxie, I was deliberately trolling.

Why would you think my comment was addressed to you when I included Carol's text quote?

Oh I've blocked that person! Nothing about her shows up; even quotes I guess! She isn't even worth my scanning her diatribes! :whistle: :rolleyes:
Even if you have blocked me I’m feeling great telling you that you are the CLOWN of this blog and your comments are the most stupid ones that I’ve seen, after all you make me laugh :cuckoo: B-)
