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.
When one of the greats says something you sit down and listen. If Djokovic wins the French Open it will be remembered that he didn't beat Nadal to win it. Djokovic is a mug that had to wait for Nadal to decline before he could beat him at RG.

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).

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.

At least try to hide your frustration better since its glaringly obvious what you're going through right now. Very sad.
Ps Federer never beat Nadal for his lone RG win, either.
