Talent? it's impossible to win 14 GS, multiples MS and also beaten many times the "suppose GOAT " without talent. And of course I don't blindly worship like Moxie says, I say what it is, fact!
And talking about "blindly" I don't have any idea what kind of tennis you are watching to talk that way
Rafa has talent on loan from the gods. well said Carol.
moxie just cant blindly stop worshipping some of these players. she cant even do her own research.
luke Jensen doesn't have to say a damn thing. we can all see with our own eyes.
Rafa is just a shadow of what he used to be. the man cant even take a 250 level event or a 500 level event for that matter. and that is on clay.
it is what it is. our player just don't feel like making he sacrifices he once made to be an all time great.
nalbandian is clear enough but sure enough moxie wont know about it because she is too lazy to do her own research. nalby said very clearly that it is clay or the exit for rafa. he has to work it all out on clay in order to be competitive again.
or worse, she reads the same remarks and sees the same things I see. she just cant handle the reality on the ground.
luke Jensen also said that he saw verdasco working like a dog in the gym in new delhi while rafa was content to fart around. he said verdasco was working harder and longer than ever before in the gym.
so now you know why verdasco hit winners from all over the court in the same heat that rafa had to play in also in Melbourne.
verdasco is not exactly young anymore but realizes the value of weight training and fitness.
it is all about fitness and physicality for Rafa. he is nothing without it. he cant fight them for long without it.
may win a match here and there but he cant go the distance at any event. he gets worn out and even tells you that is worn out and yet nobody listens.
rafa's game is very heavily dependent on supreme fitness and physicality.
