Ah...that' not what I heard. I heard something like Fed answering "You need "to wait" a couple more years to be able to fly like me". As in you are not mature enough.
But I might be wrong.

Re: ATP Masters 1000: Cinncinati
Nadal knows his game needs changing.
Q. Three matches in Montreal last week, two this week in Cincinnati. Doubles, as well. Do you feel like you have enough matches under your belt ahead of the US Open?
RAFAEL NADAL: Is not a year that I feel that I am preparing for a big tournament, you know? Is not this time, is not this period of the ‑‑is not my feeling, no? My feeling is I go tournament by tournament. Every tournament is important for me and every match is important for me.
Today every match is a test. Every match is an opportunity to improve something.
I did the things that I had to do, I believe I have to do to change a few things that I need to be back to the right level.
I was trying to return more inside than before the first and second serve. I did yesterday; I did today; something that I gonna keep doing, gonna try to keep doing.
I believe I need to practice that and I need to improve on that if I want to have chances to be in the top positions for the next year and to compete against the best players, no?
I am working on these kind of things. Accept that some loses gonna come, maybe, but that's part of my career, too. Is period of time that I don't know if it's enough or not enough for the US Open. I don't think about winning the US Open today. I think about keep going and keep playing a little bit better.
I gonna try to be ready for the US Open. I gonna try to play a good US Open. Let's see if I am able to do it. I think the way that I played this week is a good line, so let's try to be ready for it and we will see if, when the US Open arrives, I am playing well and I have a chance to win matches.
But that's it. Is not preparation for the US Open at all

After 4 games...Dolgo is 7 winners to 1 against the best mover in the sport.

All the brilliance comes from Dolgo. And yet it's hard to see him winning this

What a point! Djoko is everywhere! Dolgo has to hit 3 winners to get a point!

Dolgo can only win if he takes every chance he gets. He won't get many.

Federer, are you watching? The fake net approach works well against Djoko

Re: ATP Masters 1000: Cinncinati
It lasted nearly 2 sets as usual.
What annoys me a lot about Djoko is his grunting as if he was playing an amazing difficult point when in fact he is only pushing the ball in the middle of the court.

Serve consistency is abysmal from the lower players and even Federer these days.

And Dolgo breaks back 5-4. He should have take the match already, he had chances to break before Djoko's tactical timeout

Dolgo threw that away. His serve needs real work, that's for sure. And brainlessly shifting Djok left and right isn't a good plan.

Re: ATP Masters 1000: Cinncinati
Dolgo can blame himself for losing that TB....but it's also harder to play risky shots in those key moments.

Are Djoko's shots particularly soft today or are they always like that?

Murray holds but just. I guess Federer has hit already as many winners after 1 game as Djoko throughout his match
