A lot bla blah blah about tatano and mengano but I've always said that Pablo has a lot to say, just a little more confidence and he could give a plis plos to the others young ones

Lol, I was expressing with some words in Spanish, I meant too much talking about this one and the other one (the young ones) but Pablo could beat them anytime soon

Your favorite Pablo huh.

He is not my fav but I like his behavior in the court and his personality which I can't say the same about everyone, you know what I mean...

Ramos is the kind of player who gets on Djoke's nerves, a good pusher. We'll get Thiem v Djoke in the next round.

This s to waste the time between points besides...not too much control by himself

Surely not much control on those occasions, on surely on this regard Nadal is the most controlled player on tour -- at least among the ones I have seen play.

However, watch the videos again and count on how many of those points the server was delayed, and, if any, how many seconds total the server lost.

It's just so boring how every thread seems to have to deteriorate into some Fed v Nadal war. I think I almost preferred them when they were both out, the board was much more fun to read ...

The thing about Nadal's time between points has been talked to death. FWIW, I find the turgid pace the matches go at, even if he has a straightforward victory, incredibly annoying. However, I don't believe that it is some deliberate tactic. He has all these tics and rituals. I think he has essentially said this in the past, that he can't really help it.

It's up to the referees or the ATP to do something about it. Don't see why it needs to be brought up and talked to death on this thread.

Actually it's something that he started later in his career as he wasn't as slow as that when he first came on tour. He needs to buy new jocks ('cos they're always wedged up his arse) but the rest appears just downright deliberate. The authorities haven't done anything about it for around 10 years so they're hardly going to start now. In fact they've shown just how gutless they are by giving in to his wishes when he requested a ban on Bernades. Should be ashamed of themselves. As mentioned previously though, there are others who are slow too. It's something they should address with any player taking the p1$$ out of the rules and man up and hand out warnings and point violations frequently. They wouldn't be long speeding up then, believe me...
