Horrific blisters rule Nadal out of contention at AO
Nadal served multiple double faults, including 3 in one game against Dimitrov. After the game he confirmed he could not grip the racket on serve, and had no feel on his groundstrokes.
Unfortunately this practically rules Nadal out of the AO, but hopefully he will be back fighting for the clay court season.

This is so pathetic, it's beyond laughing, Amri.

More rubbish. You know very well that Nadal has had multiple "injuries" that he claims will be the end of him, then he plays to his usual standard. This is yet more excuse making ready for a loss. laughable.

...and anyway, if he was talented and could strike the ball properly, he would not need to grip the racquet so hard and have all those fingers taped.
He's only got himself to blame.
With such a "horrific" injury, though, I'm surprised he hasn't already given Fed the walkover...

For those doubting, Nadal served more double faults against Dimitrov than any other match he has played.
If he can even get 10 games in the semi it will be a good effort.

Maybe his "mental strength" is beginning to desert him?

Not sure what that has to do with blisters which have ruled him out.

Perhaps that's because Dimi started well and put him under pressure? Why does it always have to be an injury to explain bad things with Nadal. Can't you rafa fans just accept even 1 set defeats gracefully? We will see what effect this blister has but it's his own fault anyway for his style of play. Of course, if he loses, then you will forever claim that he wasn't fit. I am so tired of it. Another reason a lot of us want to see him off tour.
As I said before this season started, Rafa fans are in for a very very bad time. It's coming like a train at 100mph and it will arrive.. the day when Rafa can't retrieve every shot. Where he has to rely on shot making more, and that's where you'll see him crumble like Lancashire cheese.

Blisters have nothing to do with DFs. I have only seen bits of the match, did Dimi make Nadal run a lot?

It's clear his blister was affecting him.
Anyway off now.

Maybe you are right, he gets affected even if his two water bottles are not standing the "right" way.

And he has to touch himself all over before he can play a point. Hardly a mentally strong person with that kind of instability.

Re: Horrific blisters rule Nadal out of contention at AO
Blister not blister(s).. actually maybe not even a true blister as I read it was a scrape or shallow cut from a fall on court.
He didnt' say he couldn't serve or feel groundstrokes- that's exaggeration on your part. he said its make it more difficult.. big deal. He's experienced enough to overcome it.
“The feeling on the racket is a little bit more difficult,” Nadal said
this is just typical prematch making an excuse in case he does lose. His fans don't actually believe he will lose, but they need the fall back excuse just in case-- so they can continue to believe he is unbeatable unless injured... nonsense. His opponent may have a sore muscle or problem that is just as painful.. None of these guys are 100% at this point in the tournament.

His team of doctors kept him under the radar for 10 years for every doping agency, and now they can't fix a blister?

The blisters are actually a pus from his sick knees. So that if his doctors heal it, he will rid of all troubles with knees

Re: Horrific blisters rule Nadal out of contention at AO
Aarrgh!!
No one can say they know what's going to happen because it hasn't happened yet! You can't say for certain that Nadal's not going to win, neither can you say he's going to win.
We have no idea what's going to happen on Friday. Anything can happen!!
a) There's no such thing as jinxing.
b) An argument on a forum is not going to change the outcome of the match. You really think we have that power??
c) He's not out of of contention. Has he withdrawn? No.
Ok, rant over.

There's nothing called jinxing, and it would make no difference to any match anyway.
Nadal's left hand is severely damaged, unless he plays with this right hand he won't win this.Polly 81 wrote:We have no idea what's going to happen on Friday. Anything can happen!!

Jinx or not, nothing is going to be saving Nadal in the years to come. And Federer has a good chance to beat Nadal and win this Slam.

Re: Horrific blisters rule Nadal out of contention at AO
As for people saying 'you're not giving credit'.. I am giving credit, but fair credit.
eg
Suppose someone is trying to climb a mountain. However just before he is about to start climbing, someone taps him on the shoulder and shows him a newly built elevator up to the top; which he then takes and gets to the top.
He should get credit for getting the elevator to the top, but it would be unfair to give him credit for climbing to the top.

This kind of statement is just a way of having a win win situation.
If Nadal loses it'll be like- 'I told you so, I was right'
If Nadal wins, it's because he jinxed it, so JS was responsible for the win.
Either way, JS wins. Don't buy it Tenez.
I bet Federer would be quaking in his boots if he knew that JS 'knows' that Nadal will win. Shame, people believe more in JS's ability to see into the future, than Fed's ability in tennis.

It's hardly a hard prediction, the guy's left hand is in tatters. If I'm smug about getting this prediction right, I may as well be smug about predicting that there will be 7 days next week.Polly 81 wrote:

Re: Horrific blisters rule Nadal out of contention at AO
I had this conversation with Amri via PM. I said that that jinxing didn't exist and that online posts didn't affect the outcome of a match.
She replied that it worked for the French Open.
There was no hint of humour or levity; it appeared to be a sincere belief, which would explain why it continues unabated on such a regular basis.

Exactly, excellent analogy....This is why those who gave the energy to nadal to get to the top should get the credit and not Nadal.

So all the Nadal fans have JS to thank for his wins! Wow, wait until this gets out to the press! All the other fans will be furious, it'll be pandemonium!!
Oh hang on, what happens when Nadal loses, was JS tired that day and didn't get round to posting.
Oh...and what if someone else does it for Nadal's opponent, to counter act, does the earth explode...?
It's a sad world we live in.

Re: Horrific blisters rule Nadal out of contention at AO
Is it a problem holding the racquet?
RAFAEL NADAL: No, with the forehand is not a big issue. With the serve, little bit.
Even Nadal who overinflates his smallest issues can't make it out bigger than it really is.. a minor annoyance.

Nadal is a total mess. Wihtout the tape, he is in serious serious pain gripping the racket (not surprising... that blister looks seriously painful); and with the tape he can barely feel his racket.

That's not what he is saying. And we all know how he loves to exaggerate. It's just another example of how he makes everyone talk about his injuries so that if he loses he has an excuse. We are all sick of it, Julia.

Amri… no excuses. If you are not ready, do not take your racquet and balls to the court.
He had blisters from a Japanese restaurant outing and it got discussed, unnecessarily, as well.

Just because his left hand has detonated to the extent he can't compete against anyone in the top 20?
