M.Wilander:"Winning RG without Nadal it's not an authentic RG, and Djokovic knows it"

"Winning RG without Nadal it's not an authentic RG, and Djokovic knows it. In 20 years it won't have importance, but now it has. It will be like in 2009 when Federer won RG without defeating Nadal."

El sueco ha comentado que la baja de Rafael Nadal en París es "mala para Novak Djokovic", ya que cree que "ganar un Roland Garros sin Nadal no es un auténtico Roland Garros, y eso Novak lo sabe". "En 20 años no tendrá importancia, pero ahora sí la tiene. Será como cuando Federer ganó el torneo en 2009 sin ganar a Nadal", asegura Wilander en su columna en L'Equipe. Mats aconseja a Rafa no jugar la gira de hierba y centrarse para volver ya a finales de julio para los Masters 1000 de cemento y las Olimpiadas. "Las lesiones de muñeca son las peores para un tenista porque esa parte es como una prolongación de la raqueta. En hierba, con los botes bajos es como más se resiente la muñeca. Se multiplicaría por diez los riesgos de recaer para él", sentenció.
Wilander: "Ganar Roland Garros sin Nadal no es un auténtico Roland Garros, y Djokovic lo sabe"

Nadal is the moral victor of this RG regardless of who actually wins it
I've heard that so many times before. Nadal just can't lose, even when he does - he wins. :grin2:

It's nothing like 2009. 2009 Federer beat the man who beat Nadal. NO ONE beat Nadal this year. Faker is playing MUGS (and needing to use gamesmanship along the way).

Exactly. I wonder why Djokovic doesn't say anything about time rule not being enforced.

That's some serious bullshit by Wilander.

That's some serious bullshit by Wilander.
Saying what Wilander did is somewhat acceptable by partisan fans here, but for a former champion to say such a thing about a greater player than he was, is classless and stupid. Whoever wins this years FO would deserve it as much as Roger and Wilander deserved theirs.

Wilander is such a troll, didn't he say that Nole's highest clay court level was better than Rafa's :lol:

:haha::haha::haha::haha:

This Wilander is such a dork. :smash:
Winner of tournament is best player around, not one who had to beat former champions to collect his prize.

Should Novak be ashamed ? Maybe he should retire. :superlol:

The same Wilander who claimed Djokovic is the best claycourter ever when he beat Nadal in straights last year's RG. :lol:
There's no BS that wouldn't come out of his mouth.

Re: M.Wilander:"Winning RG without Nadal it's not an authentic RG, and Djokovic knows

He might as well simply come out and say that the field is as weak as it's ever been. That would've been far more accurate.
A totally false statement as well.

FACT
Players of such legendary qualities like Donald Young and Rajeev Ram going out in R1 proves just how much quality and depth is in the current era.

Exactly.

Just like winning Wimby and USO against 10% Olderer isn't authentic too.

Re: M.Wilander:"Winning RG without Nadal it's not an authentic RG, and Djokovic knows

Also, no Tilden at USO means no real GS title.
Sorry, that's just how it goes.

Muglander :facepalm:

Wawrinka didn't take out Nadal either last year. Dunno why Fed's RG win is worse than Stan's one or Djokovic's theoretical RG win this year worse than the others.

Re: M.Wilander:"Winning RG without Nadal it's not an authentic RG, and Djokovic knows

Yes. Nole is the BOAT and soon-to-be GOAT and there is not one thing the haters can do about it.

Nole will soon win the FO/NCYGS and again there is not one thing the haters can do about it.
No and no. The fact that you shout it out every minute doesn't make it true!

It's irrelevant anyway because Djokovic has proven that he lacks the ability to win RG finals.

You say that like all Roland Garros finals would and will be the same.

I'm sure Federer has something to say about that theory, losing 3 finals prior to winning.

Djokotards like 17-6-302 and 2016dal peaking in this thread. :lol:

Re: M.Wilander:"Winning RG without Nadal it's not an authentic RG, and Djokovic knows

As much as Nadal is the greatest French Open champion ever, he won't be around until the end of time, and future champions won't have the chance to beat him, just like past champions didn't face him. Whoever wins it, the 2016 RG title will be equal to any other RG title.

Re: M.Wilander:"Winning RG without Nadal it's not an authentic RG, and Djokovic knows

YES, YES, YES and YES!!!

If Djokovic vultures this RG he will forever be remembered as the guy how couldn't beat Nadal to win RG. 5 times Djokovic faced a peak Nadal and 5 times he lost against a peak Nadal. Also to make things worse for himself he's 1-1 against a declined Nadal. He ain't no BOAT, never been no BOAT and ain't ever gonna be no BOAT.

Thank you,

Thank you,
At least try to hide your frustration better since its glaringly obvious what you're going through right now. Very sad. :hug:

Ps Federer never beat Nadal for his lone RG win, either.
