Will Nadal pass Federer?

[DarthFed]

You keep using the word "banned" like it was a thing. It wasn't. He asked that they be separated for a time, and it was granted. You are misusing to term to be incendiary. And you're making up the 99% of the time that players get coded for other behaviors. That's also actually new that they're coded more often. I'm not saying that Roger is the worst of them, I'm only including him in those who do break code on racquet abuse and foul language, and it's more than a few times in the last 15 years. What I did ask you was to consider which infractions you consider the most egregious. To me, slow play is at the bottom of the wrung.

Separated, nice word for being temporarily banned from umping Nadal's matches. You still didn't answer whether you think that is acceptable to ask for an ump to be "separated" from your matches for doing his fricken job?

And do you think it's acceptable to take a bathroom break before your opponent serves for the match? You keep dodging that. On a one-to-one basis I'd say breaking your racquet and swearing is worse than going over the time limit. Roger has smashed like 2 racquets and sweated audibly something like 3-4 times in 15 years. Nadal is over the time limit probably 15 times a set and gets called at most once a match.

Slow play should be near the top as it's unfair to the opponent and disrupts the flow of the game. Not only that, it's awful for spectators too.

This is laughable. If it weren't for a particular player that you hate that does it, you would find it more innocuous than racquet abuse, audible obscenities and bratty behavior, especially in front of kids.

They don't know what else to say, their continue critics to Nadal are always the same, absurd, repetitive and incoherent, it seems to be an unhealthy obsession :cuckoo:

100% wrong actually as I can't stand ANY player that f***s around taking too much time. The game is tennis, not waiting. If I wanted to watch someone stalling I'd watch paint dry or wait at a bus stop.

Says the person who posted a video of Federer smashing racquets 10 years ago.

That was the answer to all your critics to Nadal.
Bottom line, before to critic him try to see what your idol is doing

Oh, Crikey, the infamous bathroom break is back. I swear I think you have these things tattooed on your arm. Carol is right...it's a bit obsessive. Bernardes wasn't banned. Commentators have said that it's not unheard of for a player and ump to have a break from each other, though that the request comes more often from the chair.

 

[DarthFed]

You are being laughable here and simply refuse to answer the questions. Whether or not a few idiots in the past asked for it is irrelevant. Do you think that's not a petty, spoiled princess move when we are talking about a guy enforcing the rules? And you don't think it's classless to the 10th degree to take a bathroom break before an opponent is serving for the match? I give up

I'm sure you'll come back and play the mansplaining/sexism card like last time.

 

[Front242]

Firstly, he's not my idol and secondly, I never once claimed he was a saint. He does, however, adhere to the rules and doesn't have umpires banned from his matches for actually having the balls and decency to enforce them.

And I´ve never said Rafa is a saint either but at least he always has had a better behavior on court than Roger. If I´m correct and I think I do Bernardes never has been banned and he is still in the Rafa´s matches and by the way that day when both had that argument Rafa had a good reason to complain

Never ever heard any other umpire being banned and hey, guess what, this article used the word banned too. Guess what else, the humble bull asked for it. And that's not bull we all smell either. Djokovic was asked in that article about banning an umpire and said that's not fair.

Separated Front, not banned! Don't ever confuse those two.

Has he? Never seen Roger bump into someone on purpose 'cos they were beating him or shout banana at young ball kids like an ignorant thug. Never seen him pick his ass either for that matter. That Nadal fella sure raised the bar on national tv. Bernades was banned for quite a while from his matches but, yes, he's back umpiring his matches now.

This back and forth on this old, previously rehashed topic is getting tiresome. It's a tie!

The word is used in the headline only, (you can do a search of the article,) so that was the choice of The Telegraph. Still, this is a lot about you and Darth doing to the usual: get off of their tennis and do what you can to disparage Nadal's character to distract from how much he's owned Roger.

You are right, to keep this kind of silly arguments is not worth but to read every single day certain posters attacking Nadal constantly is pathetic, boring and more silly. There are two options, not read what they say or to respond them having a little fun. Those posters don't care what is going on with others players, they don't care about the news, they just are obsessed about Nadal, that's all

We all know why he's owned Roger. Btw when is his court case? Guess he had that banned too as it was meant to have been in July. He doesn't need us or anyone to disparage his character btw as both he and his uncle have done a fine job for years.

Quit bitchin..he is just a slow learner..Rafa has to devode if he is gonna serve lefty or righty..that isnt an,easu choice.. LOL..

Seriously Rafa was extremely mindful of the time between points at the USO

He's getting faster, I'll give him that but my response was more about stating that I can't stand anyone who takes too long. Djokovic used to be as bad as Nadal, Isner is slow as shit (would never watch him anyway 90% of the time even if against a player I like cos he's boring as hell), Del Potro is slow as shit, Raonic too. No excuse for big servers to be slow.

We all also know that you think he plays slow and that Darth has been holding a grudge about a bathroom break some years ago, but it doesn't keep you from bringing them up. Since you mentioned the defamation case, I looked it up. Couldn't find anything in the French press, but I found this in Spanish. The case was put off due to an accumulation of other cases on the court docket. It will be the 6th or the 13th of Oct. and should last a half day, according to the article. Remember that Mme. Bachelot said that Rafa must have been on a doping ban, since he'd taken 7 months off the tour.
