Nadal fans are a disgrace

[King Roger]

Yeah, right! I believe you. Thousands wouldn't. Both me & Moxie will thrash you & that's not a threat. Moxie is only going steady with you because she's trying to be nice. I'm trying to be nice too.

I’m the god of these forums

So you think that Nadal has no stamina?

Not like Novak has

Not like Novak has

Dont see any difference tbh.

With Nadal the self-serving comments aren't mainly when he loses. He's pushed for 2 year ranking, less HC tournaments and rotating YEC to include clay.

That ticked me off trying to go to that 2 year ranking crap because Nole was coming up fast in 2011 & '14! It was a shameless attempt to keep #1 ranking and I lost all respect for the guy! He was the VP of the Players Assoc. while Fed was Prez.! I was almost embarrassed for the self-serving-ness of it all! If he doesn't want to play HC, don't play HC! Why try to take those meaningful tourneys from other players down the ranks! :whistle: :cuckoo:

Periods of dominance are periods where everything falls into place but competition is key when it comes to acquiring the confidence necessary to sustain a dominant period. Tennis is a very mental sport, you can't rely on teammates or even a couch during the course of a match and when a player isn't confident, it makes a world of difference, even when physical abilities are the same. Without question, Federer's best period was 04-07 but it was due to many factors that together helped him sustain that level - extreme confidence, maturity, physical prowess and hunger to make a name for himself. I really believe his physical abilities were the same in 08 but what he lost was a bit of confidence and largely due to better rivals. When he was beating the likes of Roddick, Hewitt, Blake routinely, his confidence was at an all time high. When Djokovic started beating him, Federer's confidence was shattered. That straight set loss in 08 AO semis was big, i have no doubt Federer would've won 08 AO if it hadn't been for Djokovic. That match was mainly due to a very high level from Djokovic and i think less to do with Federer's dip in level, Djokovic has won 7 AOs and in 08 was in beast mode during that tournament. He then got crushed by Nadal at FO final, another demoralizing defeat. These losses, to better rivals, can completely change the flow of things as when a player is not as confident, it can really make a big difference.

again, what fanboys seem to do is always make excuses as to why their favorite players lose. Federer didn't age 10 years between 07 (when he won 3 slams) and 08, his main problem was the rise of Djokovic and Nadal improving. Same for Nadal, as a Nadal fan, i completely accepted that in 2011, Nadal was in his prime, Djokovic was just too good. Nadal had won 3 slams in 2010 and was in beast mode in 2011, he made IW, Miami, MC, Rome , Wimbledon, US Open finals and only lost to Djokovic in these big occasions. Some were claiming Djokovic was in his head, Nadal tactics were wrong or he was suddenly pas his best.

As a Djokovic fan, i also never made excuses when Stan beat Djokovic. To me, at their best, no player is unbeatable - Federer, Djokovic or Nadal. Stylistically, Nadal gave Federer problems and Djokovic has given Nadal problems. Wawrinka, to me, was stylistically tough for Djokovic as Stan is one of the very few players who can hit winners consistently off deep balls, which Djokovic is a master at doing. 04-07 Federer was beatable, 2011, 2015-2016 Djokovic was beatable and 08, 10, 13 Nadal was beatable...

Being a Nadal and Djokovic fan means that you will be a very happy fan because the two may continue to dominate the next few years. You can always choose the one who ends up with the most slams.

How can you support someone who’s vultured slams because of easy draws or opponents retiring with injury? How can you support a man who claims he has career threatening injuries only to go and win Roland Garros without dropping a set. A man who has a completely lopsided career on a surface that’s not even important anymore and is represented by the worst grand slam out of the 4.
1 Wimbledon title is worthy of 10 Roland Garros titles, so his achievements on clay mean absolute diddly squat. As stated before, Federer draws throughout his career have been unbelievably difficult, and Nadal gets draws which include Bob the builder and Tim Henman. It’s a farce his career is still going and Nadal fans should hang their heads in shame for having such a garbage outlook on life

I don't know about Nadal fans being a disgrace but this fan thinks he's hot!

He doesn't realise that you can't judge all fans of 1 thing the same way & that everyone's different though they may have some of the same likes in the same way as they may have some of the same dislikes & they may also have different likes & dislikes. He does. He's got an ego as big as a house & doesn't appear to have the ability to justify it. He likes disrespecting others & thinks he's better than everyone else but you do get arrogant people like that. :0)

 

[the AntiPusher]

How you have the guts to open this thread when Federer's fans (not everyone) are the most angry and disgrace than any player's fans have? in what world you live before to be such a pathetic hater?. You should focus and been more worry about your "king" instead to critic others, and talking about the draws? come on, Federer many times has played with the most easy draws, you should be quiet before to talk so much garbage which makes you to look a bad loser and dumb. Hey, we could talk a lot about your idol too but I don't think it would be worth to go dawn to your level, word!

Doesnt take guts to be a troll

Putting everyone in the same basket if very unfair. This particular example of the Nadal fans is just one more. I can immediately think of a perfect counter-example which is... wait, I have it right here, tip of my tongue... damn, I am pretty sure there is someone... I will search back on old posts and come back soon, I promise.

Agreed, a troll is just a chicken s*** hidden behind the computer

Interesting that someone decided we needed to split off the "Fedal Wars" content, so we could go back to the "original point" of this thread. As opposed to absorbing the whole thing into Fedal Wars, which is all it ever was. The troll is gone, but we'll always have this tread to remember him by. Oh, hurray.

Definitely. He was arrogant & annoying but he was amusing when you weren't annoyed with what he said that is.

That someone was me. If you have issues with how threads are managed, you should report it and we'll take your recommendation under advisement.

I don't know why it needs to be "reported" beyond commented upon. But I did think it was a curious choice to pare it back to its trollish essence.
