Wow Fed really tossed Nole like an old rag. Well deserved as I can see. Novak needs to get angry again, it's when he produces the best tennis.

Tsitsipas finally delivering good tennis. Changes are on the horizon and will be really interesting to see who will be top 3 next year at this time.
He looked like he did not care 10%, maybe also because of realizing he has no chance in the match.
But the fired up player he was, he is not anymore. Even at AO19 or Wimbledon after that

Yes for a long time now, there is no passion visible in him. Doesnt matter if he wins or loses, not good sign.

nadal also now has two year end number ones in his 30s the only player to do so far better than Federer 8 years in his 30s but well done to him for helping his friend out.
can't you just enjoy your guy's success? How much of an inferiority complex must you have? Wow...

Rafa states in his pressor that he didn’t have time to practice and train prior to his match vs Zverev.Moxie and all the rest of Rafa’s fans I apologize for implying that he was just there to collect a check..

Don't worry about it. If you start apologizing for every stupid post you'll be here all day.

As the Greek.
In every possible situation Nadal let his opponents wait. Why does he do that bullshit, a psycho Technik to silently provoke? I was wondering every time why no one respond to that?

Have discussed this before and Nadal fans think that it doesn’t matter. They say that taking slightly longer should not matter because they are merely seconds, or just minute etc.

i think it matters in his favour. But I don’t want to start a new discussion, worthless.
It’s simply annoying to watch.

I don't know why you and others here think this is directed outward and not inward. Everyone and tour and most here praise his mental focus, but you can't seem to relate that to deliberateness in his behavior. Also, I don't see why you call it "bullshit" when you're a fan of a guy that bounces the ball a million times, and is a racquet smashing screamer. Nadal is just slow.

Let’s go Rafa you can do it! 2 slams, 2 m1000 and the year-end no.1 are all great, but I’d like to see you get some extra points! Tsitsi is leading and playing great, but Rafa is fighting! :clap:

Yes he is slow between the points, games, sets, even before the match started. Did you ever see him first at the net?
But while playing he is the Flash!
Yes Novak bounces, but not comparable to this theatre!
We have different opinions, we don’t have do discuss this out. Surely we look at things through our fan- glasses, but yours must be more cloudy;-):

Like I said before the tournament the biggest priority to me is to get that 5th year-end no.1 and those extra weeks at no.1. This has been accomplished. :yahoo:

That being said I’d love to see Nadal continue winning his matches and even win the tournament but I’m already satisfied it has been an amazing year. :clap:
