Nitto ATP Finals, 2019, London

Many players who are servebots get injured while many players who are grinders don’t get injured, it has nothing to do with the style of play but it’s luck. Sometimes you can twist your ankle, sometimes you get injured while giving your kids a bath, right?

His knees and his wrist have something to do with it. Countless crucial rallies and the topspin on his FH.

You know every post you make you downplay or hate on Nadal, stop cause it’s getting sad. It’s as if you root against him on every point and it’s just because he’s threatening your boyfriend’s record.

He could ask bull, remember his act against Roger in Wimbledon SF? Think it’s Greek tactic.

This goes too far into paranoia. You can't will your own shoelaces to break.

What is sad actually is that even if Nadal manages to win today after such an amazing fight, it will mean that Medvedev would already be out and can actually show up on court and not even try 100% and Nadal would then be eliminated. That’s why many don’t feel that this tournament is a big deal cause it’s like one big exhibition. The format and rules are ridiculous.

Apparently, Nadal hasn't face a break point all match. 5-5...time to break him, Rafa!

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Wow what a winner by Rafa!!!

 

[Moxie]

Right on cue...thank you, Rafa!

 

[tented]

Please, Rafa, no third set tiebreak!

And he has never lost a match when he hasn’t faced a break point.

Holy cow! Rafael Nadal always always amazes me with his effort!

The only many you speak of are Nadal fans trying to justify him never winning it. For everyone else and the sane people, it's the biggest tournament of the year after the slams.

Nice win. Never faced a break point. Good match. Now it's down to Medvedev. ¡Vamos, Daniil!

A la @Fiero425 :

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Amazing win by Rafa! Wow!

Now hopefully the already eliminated Medvedev will show up and still try his absolute best and beat Zverev. If I see him giving less than a 100% effort it will prove how this tournament is stupid.

But what a victory by Rafa, what extraordinary winners, what an amazing stunning fight and nice 200 extra points!

how about you?

I don’t know what you are talking about I even rooted for Federer yesterday

Kudos to this spirit.
But the way he acts, the tics and everything, it’s so hard to watch for me. His fists when opponent makes easy errors and ......
When I watch him playing it always looks like hard work, nothing to root for. At least for me.

He fists when he create his opponents to have a forced error not the other way around. When he completed his masterpiece comeback over Medvedev ,he was very classy didn't act overly exuberant but condoled Danill because he knew the young player was heartbroken.

 

[the AntiPusher]

Did you see the post on the Rafa thread? Connors says: Rafa plays like he's broke.

yep

 

[Nadalfan2013]

What an amazing speech and what a pro.
