Nadalites – Rafa Nadal Talk

He’s young and he’ll be punished for it. More importantly, he’ll grow out of that and learn. I wouldn’t hold it against him, once he’s properly dealt with…

Lets see if he grows out of it and learn, I'm yet to be convinced.

We all say stupid things when we’re young that we regret. Sometimes even say stupid things when we’re older! He’s in a learning based community, if he’s still saying this stuff next year and the year after, he’ll lose his whole career…

Well he has Patrick M as his coach hopefully he can get him to curb his mouth, 'engage brain before opening mouth'....
He is in a sport when everyone can hear you on court these days, you are closely scrutinized, lets see how he behaves next year.

Patrick M is starting to remind me of former Lakers and Bulls coach Phil Jackson..let's see if he can coach a champion who ISN'T Jordan, Kobe, Shaq or Pippen. Can Patrick take a talent who hasn't won before like Serena or Halep?

I’m completely unimpressed by Patrick, largely because of his relentless self promotion. I give him next to zilch credit for Holger’s achievement in Paris, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he claimed all the credit. He’s mouthy and I’m glad that Coco is away from him. I fully don’t think his current arrangement with Rune will last either…

Rafa had a practice session today ( Saturday) with Rublev.

Tossip @tossip said about 8 years ago that he was overrated. Hmmm she was right again

I didn't know that he was ill ..Paul still outplayed him and not being well isn't an excuse. Poor guy

I read that a few days ago,.......no it isnt a excuse,, lets hope he can remain healthy for the last tournament of the year

BTW when I find the link again I will post....Rafa and his wife Mery have brought out mens and womens fragrance by a French perfume company.It was created around the time of Roland Garos this year.

Little Holger Rune continues to be bashed on this forum, I see. Those who were flawless at 18/19 cast the first stone. How sad that his great Paris victory is greeted with jealousy & envy.

Casper Ruud ( aka the Norwegian Dark Lord Sauron) continues to throw a shadow/shade on the vulnerable teenager, perhaps afraid that his crown as the top Scandinavian is wavering? Without a doubt the growing maturity of the Danish cherub will result in being the model of sportsmanship.

Rumor has it the great Stefan Edberg in Paris saw flashes of himself in Holger.

Well when Prune can control his 'Homophobic' outbursts and control his temper then maybe he might gain more fans for starters, personally I cannot understand why anyone could excuse his behavior full stop at any age.

Rafa having a light hit up with his team before his match later against Fritz.

You can’t understand why a 19 year old says stupid things?

If you want to excuse his 'homophobic outburst' that is your opinion not mine okay.I cannot excuse that at any age.Lets move on

Yes you can excuse it if you understand that 19 year olds can be reactionary brats who say stupid things. He’ll be punished and take it. Come back in a year and see if he’s “homophobic…”

That is your opinion and I am entitled to my opinion.

Is there a need for concern for Nadal? Is that 3 straight losses to American players? 4 losses to players from the US for the year with the lost to Fritz at IW ?
