I6MTW Posted June 2, 2022 Posted June 2, 2022 No chance for Cilic or Zverev against Nadal, and Ruud lol, better for him to not even show up. The only players that could've beaten Nadal were Alcaraz and Djokovic and both lost. Real McCoy, nevada and Vijy 3

No point in anyone wasting few hours on a Sunday. velu and Real McCoy 2
Real McCoy Posted June 4, 2022 Posted June 4, 2022 I heard Zverev shriek when he fell down. It was a nasty roll. I hope he recovers soon. Nadal would eventually win but Zverev was giving him some grief. I thought Zverev would choke in the important moments which he did but nobody saw this. 3 hours for 2 sets. Ombeliebable, no? The ump yesterday was bending over for Nadal but giving Zverev a warning for using not so family friendly language. Ruud is another nadal academy fanboy who will be there to present the championship to Nadal in three sets. I'm not even gonna entertain watching it. Rafatards like @velu@coffee_rules can and will watch this boring game. Enjoy Vijy, nevada and velu 1 1 1

Nadal will probably win 2-3 times more at RG. He will keep saying injury/retirement but will be magically fit for the French Open. Clay has healing properties nevada and velu 2

I do think Nadal would have ground out a victory in the end, albeit a narrow one. as for final, it is nadal who is overwhelmingly the fav, but one never knows Real McCoy 1

There's dominance & then there's this *ing rule - I doubt anyone else has seen this kind of performance by an individual or team at the highest level so *ing consistently. Bradman's fans should be ashamed of calling him the greatest sportsman ever when they've clearly witnessed better dominance by individuals/teams across decades of professional sports. Vijy 1

His game (base) is well suited for FO (clay court) and he is a damn good athlete, his reach is ATG level. Never seen anybody with such a ability in running. Hence, very prone to injuries as well Vijy 1

Hence, very prone to injuries as well Don't forget to mention the slowness of the surface and the heavy topspin generated by his FH, helps on the high bouncing courts of FO. Especially if the opponent has a poor BH, height and serve, Nadal can easily exploit those. The same is not the case at other surfaces. His dominance lessens. coffee_rules and Vijy 2
