Nadal isn't just fit.  He has absurd defensive skills that are not being given their due. I hate the retard. He's a gamesmanship lout. But that doesn't change the fact that he the greatest defender in the history of the sport.  

He has a lot of talent to do it.  It's not the same talent - or as much talent - as Federer or Borg, but using those two freaks to judge another player is hardly fair.

His game is almost perfect for clay. One has to be playing lights-out just have half a chance to win.

That's the only praise you'll get from  me concerning that fist pumping twat.  Said it enough times, I want him out on a stretcher.

Well done, LS.
Keep pluggin’, looks like you are on the right track...step by step...

I remember when I was “reviewing” your pieces on v2 when you were at uni.
I feel like your mentor!

Good news news herr, too...my book of poems is in the process of publishing, just sorting out the aesthetics...everything takes tiiiimeeeee even got the offer to translate them into Englissh!

Which is almost mission impossible, but I may be able to do about 50% of them. English is such a wooden language for pure poetey.

And don’t listen to yahooo, it’s far more important to write here than in the papers....this is the hub!

Great stuff, nitb! 
You're smashing it!

Have to say throughout the Grass Court season he did appear more agitated on court than I have seen before. It just didn't seem to click for him and his post match interview the Anderson defeat, he just went walkabout mentally for one reason or another.

Quite funny to read a few of you after his defeat that he was perfectly fine in his match v Anderson. He woudl have never lost to anderson had he been ok. I have not seen the match yet but it is simply obvious there was something wrong with him to be dragged into a 5 setter.

Shouldn't you watch something and then look at the evidence, not the other way round?

I have watched Federer for 15 years....if he wins sets comfortably and then struggles, I know it is him and not his opponent the problem.

Me too, but what i said still applies.
