I hope you have received official communication from Nadal (not UT or his PR team) that such list can be divulged without any possibility of being sued by French newspapers.

How do you decide if a player (Nadal here, but in theory any player) is fully fit when they play - especially when they lose?

Fair enough, you can put together your "best estimate" list, but it will always be somewhat debatable, right?

When Nadal visited my house a few weeks ago in California, he told me which matches he was fully fit and lost.
It made for good conversation as we went around the course.

Fair enough. He is modest then. I believe his knee was still giving him trouble when he was playing Zeballos.

Well I just put that more down to rust, than his actual movement being limited, so we can't really count it (as an impaired loss).

Well, I do not know, Rafa said this at that time:

The knee is still bothering me, but you have to face adversity with the best possible face and look forward to keep working and enjoy what I like the most, to play tennis

Clearly he would be telling the truth, no?

Yes he would, he doesn't lie.

I'm taking King Zeb's win of the list.

Much better. Thanks.

kl kl no worries

How many matches has he won within the rules?

All of the matches he has won.

Typical. Just be a stubborn 5 year old who can't care about anything but his super hero. That's why I say Amrit, looks what price you pay to like Nadal and be his fan. I'm sure you are a grownup adult, yet you have to talk and reason like a kid.

Tenez wrote:How many matches has he won within the rules?

None. He is the worst rule breaker there is, and the umpires and ATP/ITF/WADA are so scared of him, that they have no cojones to call him on his rule breaking.

He is paying these governing bodies so much money under the table in bribes that they do not call even his serves out. There is a special hawkeye installed for just his matches which only allows his serves to be in. It is a giant conspiracy against other GOAT candidates that Nadal is given such preferential treatment.

His failed drug tests are never published, unlike Kutrovsky's. He is the LA of Tennis.

What else can we accuse Nadal of, Tenez? Would you care to post a list?

Absolutely disgusting to have a robotic, talentless moonballer with 'extraordinary' physique as a slam champion, correct?

Look what price you have to pay. You have be in an exclusive forum where you can discuss standard Tennis stuff, and talk about death of tennis.

1. You are making it sound too bad LF as if I had no choice. Is it the case in reality? Nope. Leaving 606v2 was my choice and I never regret about this decision. The way the moderators and admins behaved on that forum, I don't think I miss being there. They may not me miss either and I don't have to care about it. After that day I only logged into 606v2 was the day after Murray's US open 2013 win and only because I wanted to congratulate CC and I just sent him a PM.

2. The way you post comments here, and they way you address posters and their comments, its quite clear you don't come here as a poster who wants to talk and discuss things. You come here as some 'outsider' who just wants to peep into what we are talking about and have a dig at us. You have never regarded us ( the initial old member of OTF) a your fellow posters as you may be doing for 606v2. You still haven't made yourself a part of this forum, though you are one of the regular posters. This is disappointing frankly.
