Nadal time wasting
Just a few words here to say how terrible his abuse of the rule is. It's a joke. He can take 40s for a serve and another 15 for a second server. 55 second for a serve!!! Federer wins very often games in less time serving 4 or 5 times!
Worse is that after a let, he goes another 20secs so it can be 20, 25 and 20 for a serve! Absolutely disgusting when the rule says a first serve out should follow immediately.
he is a cheat and the proof his game is purely physical unlike what Rotla thinks cause why woudl he abuse teh rule otherwise if it is not to recover from his gruelling tennis and be able to inject more power into his balls.
yesterday we saw again how tired he was in that 3rd set. Shame Thiem was not smart enough to exploit that.

Re: Nadal time wasting
he in fact takes more time than the rest (except for novak)
but when you talk about 40s is not really accurate because many times he has to wait for people to stop making noise or stop motion of serve due to someone shouting something
I ve been measuring time and he in fact is over 30s in a regular basis, the fastest he gets is 27 seconds
I would like to know though, how is that time measured, I do it like this:
Once the point ends (second bounce or if its called out)
Once nadal hits the ball in serve
but it would be a lot less if it counts since umpire says the new score and stops when nadal starts serve motion.

Re: Nadal time wasting
That's wrong. Novak takes much less time after a let or for a second serve and a bit less for a first serve.naxroy wrote:he in fact takes more time than the rest (except for novak)
And how do the other players. If the crowd know they have another minute before the ext point, of course they are going to release stress right away instead of waiting for the end of th egamebut when you talk about 40s is not really accurate because many times he has to wait for people to stop making noise or stop motion of serve due to someone shouting something
yes I have also been measuring and he is often at 37+ secs. Absolutely unacceptable. It's exactly like crediting him a shot that he pulled wide. It is simply outside the rule. And you know why he does that of course! It is to take advantage of his extra red cells which carry oxygen and transform into energy so he can be intense on every point. This is what a nice smile, apparently humble attitude make you forget!I ve been measuring time and he in fact is over 30s in a regular basis, the fastest he gets is 27 seconds

correct, the rule is clear.Once the point ends (second bounce or if its called out)
Once nadal hits the ball in serve

Re: Nadal time wasting
Think by set 3 Nadal was averaging 31 seconds between points and Thiem 26. So both were over, Thiem marginally.
31 seconds is a piss take it has to be said, but again umpires have to get tougher. It's been said for years. All the time players bend the rules and get away with it, it will continue. Cilic and Djokovic are the pits and again just as culpable. Probably many others who are not as high profile.

But no-one takes as long as Nadal. Nadal abuses the rule not only for teh first serve but after a let and for a second serve. This is where he grabs easily another 10sec over the others. That is huge and not recorded unfortunately!

Re: Nadal time wasting
Nadal is the one who introduced abusing time rule.
Very few followed and nowhere nesr as much as he.
Yesterday, he really took the piss as he literally took as much as he liked all in the very crucial points, while carefully watching Thiem’s body language.
He even bitched to the umpire a out being called for one token time violation as he was walking past him during a changeover, the microphone picked it up.
U pires are scared of him.
He sacked Bernardes until Bernardes changed the tune in order to keep his job.
Umpres are dispensable they do as they are told to.
The sooner Nadal retores the better.
All his trophies are fake and even he knows it.
Only his blind fans don’t, but that’s relly their problem.
Time will show what a ruthless cheat he was in 5-10 years...
Wait and see.

Re: Nadal time wasting
I doubt the umpire counts before even saying the new score
and maybe that explains why he can average 30 seconds
the thing is, the rule is only important since nadal exists, because before nobody streched that time so much, so there was no need to worry about it
now it is an issue, and from time to time umpire´s make a simbolic warning and very rarely they apply time violation penalty.
rest of the players dont seem to be bothered that much
to be honest, I only see that complain here
I ve seen journalist talk about it but only in this forum it seems to be the explanation to nadal´s success
they will end up installing some kind of official counter. but so many things happen in between points that it will be hard to take it into consideration.
until they do that, nadal is totally inside the rules, as there is an umpire in charge of that control

Rule break is a rule break. So for me regardless by how much, a 26 second violation carries the same weighting in punishment as a 31 second one.
We see it which means the umpire must see it. However, they do not seem to have the balls (pardon the pun) to call the players on it. If a line judge can persistently call foot faults (Fognini/Edmund Match) then what's preventing the umpires calling players out on time violations or even lighter than that have a chat with them and say speed up or be penalised.
I'd like to see what they do in cricket with slow over rates. Dock match fees off players for slow and deliberate play retrospectively if umpires are not going to do their job!

Of course his fans are blind. You are defending a cheat and you don;t even realise it..or more importantly you do not want to see it. That's what we call a fanatic! Simple lack of objectivity.
If you were to say he is a cheat but I still like him fine ...but you are trying to excuse him. And don;t blame it on the referee and the system. The system is there to make a max of money. They don;t care who wins or loses....cause they play a business game not tennis!

They are blind because they don't call him out?
Just because one doesn't speak evil, doesn't mean they don't see it. Some actually choose not to say anything.

Tenez has previously said that he thinks Federer started doping in the mis 2000's, and that he was happy Federer was doing so (said it's justified as other are too).

Don;t mention the other tennis players here. You and I do not know what they think of it. Well we know what some of them think ....but we are talking about you and you supporting a cheat. The other players are not supporting him they are supporting themselves.
It's not what I say that matters....it's that time breaking rule that does. Can't you see it? It;s not me or the words I use that count....it's the fact nadal breaks the rule after every point!
Why are you always trying to transfer the problem with me. It;s Nadal's time taking.
That's why you and Decima can't argue sensibly cause you are not deling with the problem. Just throwing things at me with flawed logic and stupid smileys. That says it all.

Quite a few players verbaly and publicly protest against Nadal’s time violation, especially when they themselves get given them al kst for the sake of it.naxroy wrote:but 98% of tennis players are blind too

It’s usually lower ranked players who don’t care much as they don’t get big money from sponsors...
Though I remember Stan, Kyrgios, Berdych, Stakhovsky, esp Fognini...noone likes him, they are just putting up with him as they all work for the same company ATP and he is bringing a lot of money to it thanks to fans like you and Amri...or the other 80% if you like.
If he was such a great player as you like to believd, why does Nadal not play within the rules?
Why is he cheating?
Why did he sack Bernardes?
Why are umpires scared to give him time violation ON EVERY POINT because he breaks it on every point.
Cut the umbillical cord from Nadal, there are many other nice Spanish players....Feli Lopez, Agut...
There is a new member in my club who is a Spaniard...and guess what - he plays with a SBH a d his favoirite player is Federer...and he does not like Nadal at all.

Otherwise during football, any player who commits a foul and thus breaks the rules is a cheat. Every footballer is a cheat then.

The fact you said that you thought Federer it is likely doping from the mid 2000s? (you quoted an interview he gave about physically improving as evidence) Or the fact you said it was justified because others were doing it too? Both 100% true.

Some might hold that view and choose not to speak out. Others might not. Those that hold that view might not speak out to draw attention to themselves or even feel less qualified (eg not successful or high profiled enough) to speak. It's about choosing when and when not to speak. Why do so many speak retrospectively when situations have already happened? Think about it. How many of the top 100 will Nadal play in a season? If Nadal only plays say 20 out of the 100, the other 80 are not likely to complain as they are not directly effected by on court actions.
By your logic, those that get bullied and don't speak out must mean they are not being bullied.
I am not trying to paint Nadal as a villain. I am simply saying that some will think twice before throwing stones or embarking on a war.

Re: Nadal time wasting
berdych actually defended him and djokovic with the time between points issue
tenez, I mention the rest of players to state a fact: only in a few internet forums, nadal is considered a cheat.
retired tennis player dont consider him a cheat
active tennis player dont consider him a cheat
media doesnt consider him a cheat
most of fans dont consider him a cheat
contrary to your opinion all of the above think he is a great example as a sportsman and most tennis players in the circuit admire him, beginning with his main rivals (stan, murray, nole and federer)

I have argued enough time that I don;t think Federer dopes. What I have said is if he were to dope then maybe it was in the mid 00s and since I am convinced your man and others dope, then yes I woudl not mind fed had to dope to keep challenging the cheats but I am 99.9999% sure he does cause simply his game does not require, unlike Nadal, an enormous amount in energy. He can win a game in 50s with 10sec cool breathing in between....hence no need for special drugs for that. ...something your man cannot do!

He has much less credit a 17 time slam winner ought to get, but for a reason. His deeds have never been anywhere near irreproachable. Maybe in Spain, but that doesn't count: in Spain Serge Ramos is a saint too..

This is a rather silly thread; yes, I agree that Nadal pushes it with his timing and Umpires are too weak. I suppose it is a form of cheating and I dislike his on-court conduct for a number of reasons; but nobody is going to take those pots of his mantle piece, and it's better not to get so steamed up about this.

Re: Nadal time wasting
That’s not actually correct naxroy, the Umpire at best interprets the rules but he doesn’t write them.
Tenez said he’s not won within the rules and that might be true irrespective of what the Umpire did.

Re: Nadal time wasting
Tenez has just said that he thinks it would be justified for Federer to dope as he thinks others do it too. Also profusely defended Maria Sharapova.
So spare us the sanctimonious phoney outrage about Nadal picking his @rse and taking some more seconds between points.
Everyone was well aware of this issue already, the only reason this thread exists is that Tenez got upset that Nadal won Grand Slam #17, can't cope.

You can't take the position that just because the umpire didn't enforce the rules that the players mustn't be breaking them.
Nadal was taking on average 31 between points yesterday, so Nadal clearly was breaking that particular rule, so from a factual perspective Tenez with what he is stating is correct on that element.
However, as Decima or whatever he's called himself now says, where do you draw the line across all forms of sport?
I wouldn't goes as far to say it is the defining factor in his success.

Maybe, just maybe umpires talk about this issue in their meetings and they are doing what they think has to be done, considering the rule and the circumnstances. Maybe it is just that some guys in the internet would do it in a different way, but they are just internet users and no tennis umpires of the first level.

You still don’t get it....
Rules are there not to be interpreted by applied.
Imagine if one decided that a set goes to the best of 1!
