Moxie, I'm not "going off." The problem of interpreting text without the nuance of facial expression and voice. But yeah, the "you folks" points to tribalism.

But yeah, Masters are important. We're just disagreeing on to what degree the exact number of trophies is important.

They've played 15 times there, 3 on grass, 6 indoors, and then the rest heavily towards slow/medium hards with a few fast hard courts sprinkled in.
You are telling the story wrong, intentionally. I'm not sure what you mean by "there." But do remember that Rafa led on HCs until last year.

No, we're disagreeing about how the MS demonstrates domination over the field.

That part of the sentence may have been a rhetorical flourish, but, as you note, not inaccurate, and led nadalgoat2 into a boring copycat mode. Believe me, I know you've got plenty you dislike about Nadal, so you don't need to list them, yet again. You do it plenty often enough, don't worry about that.

Well, THIS TIME I didn't say anything. You were the one who had your panties in a bunch over your fellow Nadal fan biting my comments. I'm just saying don't drag me into your beef with your fellow Nadal fan. I'm perfectly willing to take the heat for my own comments that are perceived by you as being stupid or unfair...but I won't take guff for something someone else said. It's not my fault your fellow Nadal fan lacks originality and stole from me. She must be desperate though because we don't agree about anything.

What non-sense? What is special about MS? Winning any tournament is about domination over the field. Why is winning a GS not domination over the filed?

How is stating facts "telling the story wrong". Also keep in mind that Roger led on hard courts until his disastrous 2013 and early 2014 when he gave Nadal an easy 5 wins. Rafa did well to dodge Fed in his atrocious years. And let's face it, by the time Roger and Rafa started playing a lot on HC it was the latter with the clear age advantage.

With AP and Carol having tucked their tails and ran away from this forum, Kieran probably living in a hut on the west coast of Ireland after the 2017 AO, and nadal goat being on the lunatic fringe, poor Moxie has to carry the torch for Nadalite extremism. Give her a break :p
Calling me lunatic, does not make it so, its your dumb opinion all you do is point outs facts anyone can do that, just means I have opinions some people disagree on, And passionate nadal fan. think my extreme, I think the some of you and most federer fans who only see things though he's eyes. Its a tennis forum man so over yourslef I would not want be a boring poster like you.

I actually agree with you about Delpo's form. I just wish you don't feel the need to bring Federer in it. Good grief your inferiority complex is staggering. I for one wouldn't begrudge Delpo another slam. Not if he's playing Roger of course. Therefore go for it at Roland Garros Juan Martin!!

Coric looking ok so far, but now it's 5 - 4 Roger, going with serve, the business end. Let's see if he's for real

Coric gets the break! Guess he's for real. He stepped up and Roger didn't or couldn't. Now serving for the set. Apart from the first game Roger's not really disturbed him on serve, as his first serve percentage has been high

WTF? I just tuned in and Coric up a break.

Meanwhile, Moxie must have the record for most active arguments with different posters at the same time :p

Roger is shanking a lot with his backhand.

I'm impressed. I have no problem at all with one of these young guns stepping up!
