Nadal is 28 years old. Fed never said he has become more nervous and tentative. The idea younger players play every point with assurance is beyond absurd. Simone age 24 did not seem to play every point with assurance. Emotions are akin to being human. Write that down.
First, I said typically it happens when player's reach their 30's, not always. Nadal said quite clearly that he get's nervous and tentative more often than he did years passed. As far as Federer, I never wrote he stated he gets nervous and tentative, what i commented was, it's clear he does get nervous and tentative (tight) unlike past years. Simona isn't at the champion level of Serena, Federer and Nadal were at 24, yet, so, no, I would expect her to be as mentally strong as those three, that is what separate champions from 'also rans." Should I write that down for YOU??
