Last night I have seen the Brazilian press saying that Nadal announced he was out of Queens... I was sure I would get here and find pages of conversation...

There was a bit of a convo in one of the other threads about it. Apparently he's resting on doctor's orders.

not a big surprise, I wonder if he'll play the whole 2017's season in fact....he used to cancel his Schedule after Wimb in 2012, 2013, 2014...

The Tennis Channel here is trying to make something out of it, but I think he's being wise...for a change. He'll probably play The Boodles, or something. But rest is better for the knees and the soul, then staying on the grind. The recent run has to have been physically and emotionally depleting.

Oh, c'mon, he only did something he has done another 9 times already...
And do you think it's easy to do it and more having won three tournaments in a row plus the 10 RG? Novak won just once and he burned out

And it's so easy, basically anyone could do it. Just like rolling out of bed. In Rafa's defense, since he hadn't won a Major for 3 years, he might just be a bit emotionally drained. A huge character flaw, I'm sure. ;)

Sense of humor, Carol. Sense of humor.

Mrzz generally has his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.
Me too but sometimes it's hard to see the difference through the posts, face to face the interpretation would look different :D

Carol, there was a hidden compliment on my post... because if you accept that wining something 9 times shows that this is easy for you... than it is easy for him to win RG, something that is quite hard for the rest of the world...

(the first version of the post even had a "what a sissy" comment to close it, but I guessed people would not get it).

You did well not saying "what a sissy" because he has skipped only one 250 tourney, hmmmm if we are talking about who is "sissy" to skip the whole clay season....:lulz2::yes:

My goodness, this is the worst serve that I remember. By the way the grass is in so bad conditions that it's difficult to see the ball
