Re: Tennis...Anyone?
is it just me, or is anyone else as tired as Hell of Nadal's HS-girl gamesmanship? He makes Serena look like an Eagle Scout. She, at least, doesn't milk the clock when things aren't going her way, let along disappear for an 8-minute BR break.
He's a great physical talent, but a perennial wuss.

We all should hate the cowardice that Nadal shows when he behaves like a scorned little girl, and dictates the pace of the match as though that's his prerogative.
He should have been docked at least 2 more points on Sunday for delays, but the umpire was very late in growing a set.
Nadal is a great talent, but the tail was wagging the dog there. The deck was stacked against Medvedev from the get-go.

So there's that, anyway.
Also Helps that Fed isn’t a whiny little b and it’s gonna be gross if Rafa passes him

Originally posted by Deutsche Gopher Fan View PostThat’s a huge part of why I don’t like him. His style is ugly to me. I love the classical beauty of Fed. Fed has power and yet can volley and play a game other than baseline grunt smashes.
