Waiting for Rafa

[Murat Baslamisli]

I think once you accept the fact that staying fit and healthy is a huge part of the game and whomever is left standing at the end of the match is the deserved winner, no matter how unlucky the opponent might be, then you do not have to deal with hypotheticals, no?

Your injury is not your opponents problem. He stayed fit, he is the deserved winner. Knees are Rafa's problem, mono and back are Roger's problems, miscellaneous body parts are Murray's problem. Nobody else cares...

Anyway, Rafa is back, and hopefully for the rest of his career to be fit and healthy. That's all we ask for. He's never lost a single match when he was fit and healthy... :snigger :laydownlaughing

^To be fair.. reading the history, it was Nadal2005RG who first mentioned the AO. DF made a pithy comment back, and then BS defended Rafa's performance by bringing up the injury. Technically DF was right about sets won, but there's no question it was... provocative

I just went through all of nadal2005rg's posts in this thread, and saw no mention of AO prior to Darth's post I linked to.

Here it is...

And in the mean time Djokovic is not even making the final of Australia and US Open (and their 2013 US Open match was Nadal 6-1 in the 4th set).

And this from the same post:

"The only slam in which Djokovic looks better than Nadal at is Wimbledon."

So I answered the resident clown's claim that Rafa now suddenly looks better than Nole at AO based on making the final and losing more decisively than Djokovic did to Stan. My post is factual and BS kind of felt the need to imply that there needed to be a disclaimer in the post mentioning Rafa's injury.

If nothing else, we've demonstrated the Rashomon effect is real.

Perhaps, but given the inherent bias on these forums..

:clap The perfect response.

^Is it the haters that keep on bringing up this issue? I certainly don't! Not that I would class myself as a hater anyway. Certainly not a fan, but I have the highest respect for his achievements. Certain Rafa fans - not you - like to make snide comments and get a pass. That seems to be ok, but then when they make comments that in their own minds are fact, they don't like to be challenged! And.. BS.. if it was you who raised this issue, I'm certainly not saying you make snide comments. Not your style, you have more class than that, so please don't bite on that

I only raised the issue when Darth brought up Nadal not being able to take Wawrinka to 5 sets in that match. All I said was "I think you're forgetting something." That was literally my entire post. I never said Nadal would have won or anything. It just seemed silly to me to penalize Nadal for being unable to take Stan to 5 sets considering the shape he was in. That's all my post meant to do.

BS chose to bite, when it was obvious to me, that DF was only making such a comment to slap at Nadal2005RG.. woe to us non Rafa fans for daring to make such comments even when provoked!

I think even Rafa fans take shots at Nadal2005. He's that irritating.

This thread has taken so many turns and directions, it really turning in a gossip, discussion about some television personalities I have never heard of:huh:and general hogwash... Besides, Isnt Rafa back or or is will he back win he wins another Slam?

The wait was over the first two times Nadal beat him.

Thanks! I'm not going anywhere. I may have lost just a bit of interest, but I still love the sport.

The answer to that is no old sport general baron Haychew.
