Doha R2: Nadal liquidates Lacko 7-6 0-6 6-3

http://img137.imageshack.us/img137/4381/1273987095075.jpg

Nadal was far from his best today and he's apparently coming off a fever so it's understandable. Lukas played well, he went for his shots with a lot of success and played aggressively throughout the entire match.

In the third set Nadal took a quick 4-0 lead but then Lukas took one of the breaks back. Then Nadal broke back again when Lukas was serving 3-5.

PS: this is the 10th time ever Nadal gets bagelled.

This Lacko is good.

good job wedge picker

Lacko u fucking legend! :worship:

Go back to challengers Lacko.

Great performance from world #1. Haters gonna hate.

I liked this guy. He has to overcome his fitness (I believe) and mental problems but he did a nice match.

Wow, Nadal struggled and bagelled
Hope we see Fedal final

Nadull getting bageled by a chick...amazing performance from HC god - he is sure bound to win CYGS this year:bowdown:

Scripted.
Go back to challengers Lacko.

Great performance from world #1. Haters gonna hate.
So, Lacko should go back to challengers for bageling the no.1? :scratch:

Nadull, the world no.1, got bageled by a challenger bagel = great performance?

I like your logic :yeah:

Hmmm.

Man. Rafa sounded like he was dying out there. Pulled out the win though, good on him, and good effort by the Lackmeister.

Rafa, not his best performance today but he won :D

The second set :o

Nadal is GOAT? He is a joke. Got bageled by who again?

Not a great match but a win is a win:clap2: Rafa must improve to beat Gulbis

Go back to challengers Lacko.

Great performance from world #1. Haters gonna hate.

usually federer/nadal get criticized when they win 6:1 6:2, now getting a bagel is a great performance? :worship:

never change mtf

I don't think Rafa got anything from this win other than a couple of degrees. :lol:

Go back to challengers Lacko.

Great performance from world #1. Haters gonna hate.

yes and apparently fans will continue to blindly post untrue things

this was anything but a great performance from nadal

Go back to challengers Lacko.

Great performance from world #1. Haters gonna hate.

This sounds too robotic. Do you just copy and paste phrases over and over again?

Hopefully bagelling the world number 1 can give Lacko some much needed confidence for the future.

Awful Nadal. At 0-4 in the 2nd set, I stopped watching. He'll be beaten badly by Gulbis, but I STRONGLY HOPE to be wrong and tomorrow Rafa to play better.

He's sick with fever you idiot :retard:
I'm sure he is.
That's the shortest fever I've ever seen.
He caught it at the beginning of the second set and it went away at the start of the third, right? :lol:

When did he catch that fever ? Its just today that I read this.

#1 shouldn't let top 100 players bagel him but props for the win in the end.

No point in him going to Melbourne, when you get bagelled by Lacko, your slam winning days are obviously over.

He's sick with fever you idiot :retard:

was it a fever that lasted one set?

just make sure u bring ur best game to the aussie open this year.

Interesting scoreline. Good effort from Lacko, but all credit to Nadal for getting through on a bad day
Go back to challengers Lacko.

Great performance from world #1. Haters gonna hate.

Cheers for producing the new definition of idiotism to wikipedia

Interesting that Nadal and Fed both struggling?

And you say Nadal has been bagelled 10 times, when and who was the last?

well played, lucas.......i have been following lacko's tennis since last year, he's a player to watch provided he has the focus........

Awful Nadal. At 0-4 in the 2nd set, I stopped watching. He'll be beaten badly by Gulbis, but I STRONGLY HOPE to be wrong and tomorrow Rafa to play better.

He should pull out of this clown event or at least doubles.

When did he catch that fever ? Its just today that I read this.
He caught it at the beginning of the second set, but thankfully it went away at the start of the third :yeah:

Therefore, the real scoreline is 7-6 6-3 :yeah:

Lacko should have been rewarded bonus ranking points for bageling the spartan, will unrelenting, 3 different surfaces GS holder, sportsmanship award winning world #1 :D

Nadal is GOAT? He is a joke. Got bageled by who again?

:)

Nadal played crap. But at least he won.

Yep, a fever which lasted 30 minutes. An undiscovered mutation of a virus.

CHEATERS GONNA CHEAT

Interesting that Nadal and Fed both struggling?

And you say Nadal has been bagelled 10 times, when and who was the last?

here, a list of the 10 players to bagel him:

1. Andy Roddick - US Open, 2004
2. Julien Benneteau - Lyon, 2004
3. Gaston Gaudio - Buenos Aires, 2005
4. Guillermo Coria - Monte Carlo, 2005
5. Roger Federer - Wimbledon, 2006
6. Roger Federer - Hamburg, 2007
7. David Nalbandian - Paris, 2007
8. Mikhail Youzhny - Chennai, 2007
9. Andy Murray - Rotterdam, 2009
10. Lukas Kacko - Doha, 2011

he needs to pullout of this tournament before the fever gets worse and hurts his aussie open chances.

Nadal was coughing up some delightful phlegm, his towel was one disgusting colour :-)

Fun match though. Lacko will no doubt now go to sydney/auckland qualis and lose to Devvarman or Volandri in 58 minutes.

And you say Nadal has been bagelled 10 times, when and who was the last?

Murray in Rotterdam in 2009.

If Rafa was sick, wtf was he even doing on court :retard: Bagels Beck yesterday and now, all of a sudden, he has a fever?

I tend to focus more on how Nadal responded to being bagelled as opposed to beating the "he got bagelled by Lukas Lacko" dead horse as the haters are already doing in here :rolleyes:

He still got the win, and that's all that matters.

Nadal played crap. But at least he won.

:yeah:

He won playing at 5% on mental strength alone. He's sick, coughing and sweating badly throughout the match. That's what great champions do :worship:

When did he catch that fever ? Its just today that I read this.

Marshfever strikes in waves.

Raffi :yeah:

stop the hate

looks like the blind fedlovers are annoyed to death with nadal pulling off this victory playing at 20%........must be very terrifying with AO fast approaching........

Shocking 2nd set.

Illustrious list of slam winners, finalists, semifinalists.....and Benneteau/Lacko :lol: Can you post Fed's, out of curiosity?

I tend to focus more on how Nadal responded to being bagelled as opposed to beating the "he got bagelled by Lukas Lacko" dead horse as the haters are already doing in here :rolleyes:

He still got the win, and that's all that matters.

Yes, but a bagel from Lacko is sooo funny, it must be continuously laughed at and pointed out.

Weird thing is that those pointing it out aren't actually praising Lacko for his performance, but :lol: @ Nadal.

Nadal was far from his best today and he's apparently coming off a fever so it's understandable.

Watch the haters conviniently "forget" to mention this.

He has a tough match against Gulbis but I'm confident he'll get through :)

:lol: Bagel

Interesting that Nadal and Fed both struggling?

And you say Nadal has been bagelled 10 times, when and who was the last?

Muzzzza! (rotterdam 2009), though he was injured there. Before that Chennai 08 vs Youzhny, though that was the dsay after an incredibly brutal epic vs Moya. Before that ..... Fed Hamburg? Again tiredness very obvious.

looks like the blind fedlovers are annoyed to death with nadal pulling off this victory playing at 20%........must be very terrifying with AO fast approaching........
Yeah, because it's only "Fedlovers" who insult Nadal :o

I'm guessing it's Spartans who insult Federer, right? :o

You nailed it! :worship:

Weird thing is that those pointing it out aren't actually praising Lacko for his performance, but :lol: @ Nadal.

It isn't weird at all given the way this forum works.

You nailed it! :worship:

actually no he didnt..not even close

looks like the blind fedlovers are annoyed to death with nadal pulling off this victory playing at 20%........must be very terrifying with AO fast approaching........

Everyone knows that he played at least 60-70%. Even If Nadal is playing 95% he automatically drops one level down.

You nailed it! :worship:
Wrong.

entertaining match.

stop the hate

hatemania in full bloom at mtf bro.

they just love to see the clay warrior get sick or injured.

WTF ? I missed the match thinking it was going to be a cakewalk. Does anyone have some youtube clips ? What happened ? Wowsa :eek::eek::eek:

Here you go:

Thanks! Not bad Roger, but getting bageled by Spadea is just :o

Of course they do. They know he'll beat everyone @ AO if healthy so they hope for an injury or sickness instead of him being beaten in a legit match. Quite pathetic actually.

Thanks! Not bad Roger, but getting bageled by Spadea is just :o

He was like 17 at the time :lol: :p

Very bad play but Spartan spirit. Not everyone can win matches with high temperature. ;) I am sure Rogie would have withdrawn before the match.

Such fierce combat from both sides. Joy to my heart :D

Lacko is good...but Rafa getting bageled? Interesting, regardless of if he was coming off a fever or not. Probably not the best sign since Lacko struggled against hard court god Pere Riba the round before

Very bad play but Spartan spirit. Not everyone can win matches with high temperature. ;) I am sure Rogie would have withdrawn before the match.

How sad that you'll never know. Btw. Any proofs of high temperature? Or maybe a medical opinion?

Oh and for the record, have you read this thread?

Rafa is just an adorable guy :hearts:

How sad that you'll never know. Btw. Any proofs of high temperature? Or maybe a medical opinion?

Said as much after the Beck match. Why would he lie? He'd just won 6-3 6-0.

nadull = brainless,,,for playing this worthless tourny with a fever or not,he just cannot have any hope of winning AO or a HC slam if his health is compromised in anyway.
I don't know why nadull fans want nadull to win this match,,it would havebeen much better if he lost & went home to rest,,slaving away 2+ hrs with a fever will eventually catch up to him.
Secondly his serve was awfull getting broken 5 times & offering a lot of break points in other to a player of lacko quality.
BTW the bagel was nice.

Nadal was today bagelled by a guy 88 ranks below him. Can someone tell me the last time a world # 1 was bagelled by a guy that many places below him?

much better this post, sensible posting than blind fedlovers.......it's true that king rafa likes to fight and win everything which easily lands him in troubles, as proved in the past.......

i just wish gulbis takes him out in the next round.......looks like that's the only way he is going to rest for AO.......

I liked this guy. He has to overcome his fitness (I believe) and mental problems but he did a nice match.

seconded
he is a hero :worship:

really stupid to still be playing doubles now

bagelled :spit:

really stupid to still be playing doubles now

They just won the first set... This guy will never learn to let go. Maybe that's why I like him...

whatever Nadal has (fever or whatever) he passed onto Federer probably

Is Nadal sick? I read he is taking antibiotics... Bad timing with the AO just around the corner..

Surely Federer has to be the favorite now to win the AO....

whatever Nadal has (fever or whatever) he passed onto Federer probably

That's what they get for hanging around each other a lot.

Nope, Rogie infected Rafa with mono while they were kissing in the locker in Abu Dhabi.

Yeah, this fever is definitely bad timing in terms of his preparations for the AO. I'd like to think that Nadal has the sense to know when his body can't play, but we all know he unnecessarily overexerts himself. Unless he recovers overnight, I hope he withdraws from the tournament.

Nadal is already out on the court playing doubles with a cold, keep up the good work Rafa:wavey:

Epic Bagle btw

Rafa playing a three setter or losing = 10+ pages. MTF is so predictable.

So, Lacko should go back to challengers for bageling the no.1? :scratch:

Nadull, the world no.1, got bageled by a challenger bagel = great performance?

I like your logic :yeah:

This guy is a phony. He's a disappointed Fedtard pretending to be a Nadal fan.

If he´s really that sick, the only smart thing to do would have been to withdraw. No point risking a longer sickness with the AO just around the corner.

I liked this guy. He has to overcome his fitness (I believe) and mental problems but he did a nice match.

who are you talking about and is he nuts?

Just won the doubles in 35 mins, 6-2 6-0.

bagelled by Lacko :spit: :lol:

Miraculous recovery as expected :worship:

this bagel makes weak era discussion stronger

Lukas lack of selfbelief was evident in the third set.

Had Lacko pulled this off all the Nadal fanboys just would've blamed his "fever" for the loss. I was really impressed with Lacko today. Hope he can hit a good stride this year.

A bagel..wtf? seriously... WTA performance

wow...just reading this medical journal entry...seems there is such a fever...it,s called 'one set fever'...who knew...?

There has only been 1 reported case though...happened today funny enough...
Only known cause as of now is-- a flat forehand on fire.:sad:

Had Lacko pulled this off all the Nadal fanboys just would've blamed his "fever" for the loss.
Or maybe - rightly so - the bad day at the office of their man.

I could only watch parts of the third set and in 2 minutes I saw Rafa missing three consecutive sitters, so unlike him.

:lol:

Bageled by Lacko. :lol:

For most part of 2 sets Lacko looked like the better player but certainly the experience helped Nadal in the end.

0-6bagel..really???
Didnt watch d match, seems like it was WTA standard match

:lol:

Bageled by Lacko. :lol:

world #1 :lol:

Haterz gon hate. There isn't much to celebrate these days so might as well enjoy the bagel :yawn: On Saturday it will be back to BAU ;)

When did he catch that fever ? Its just today that I read this.

was it a fever that lasted one set?

He caught it at the beginning of the second set, but thankfully it went away at the start of the third :yeah:

Therefore, the real scoreline is 7-6 6-3 :yeah:

Yep, a fever which lasted 30 minutes. An undiscovered mutation of a virus.

CHEATERS GONNA CHEAT

Marshfever strikes in waves.

He got it after playing doubles and before the Beck match. He has taken antibiotics if you are concerned.

What a spartan. Playing singles and doubles with a fever :worship:

Why the hell are there antipyretics then? :scratch:

Oh why so prolix?

Fever... :lol:

Nadull nowadays has excuses even for sets lost. :lol: Next thing he'll have excuses for losing games.

World no. 1 winning in R2 of an MM gets 100+ responses these days? Really??

World no. 1 winning in R2 of an MM gets 100+ responses these days? Really??

Well, at least it's not an exho

Still, can not believe that Rafa got bagelled by Lacko, good effort thought to come back and win, don't really care if he loses next round, I just hope that he gets back to top form come Aus Open.

Gulbis got a free ticket to final with Fed.

Oh why so prolix?

Fever... :lol:

Nadull nowadays has excuses even for sets lost. :lol: Next thing he'll have excuses for losing games.

Yeah, because Federer NEVER excuses himself if he loses, right? Nah.. like for example when he lost to Berdych he said "I can usually beat guys like these" or something like that. I'm not saying Rafa is perfect, but please.. he's not the only one making excuses for sets lost or matches lost, and he probably won't be the last. And fever is a good reason to lose a set imo.

World no. 1 winning in R2 of an MM gets 100+ responses these days? Really??

did you see the scoreline? A guy bageling Rafa is like fuel on fire for these haters. No they can go on hating for days! They're probably happier than they've been in a while. Sad really.

I'm not sure why this has anything to do with Federer. Glenn hates Federer so he would probably agree with you :shrug:

no surprise here

Lacko have a huge game when on and Nadal did have troubles with that kind of players in the past

like someone said Lacko will probably lose in 1.round AO qualys to a local lad

If he were feverish he shouldn't have played. :) If he stepped on court, he should just shut up about it.

cant believe the guy played doubles with a fever, its so frustrating that he dont know when to just withdraw.
same shit happened in 2009 during the clay season.

expext gulbis to double bagel rafa next round.

where are rafa advisers/team/coach??
dont let him play.

arggghhhhhhh

ohh dear....number one in action.....

lol Federer would never gut out a win like this, certainly not in '11. He'd say "I can handle these guys when I'm healthy but today I was sick". :lol:

Nadal just needs to take a break.. He spent the offseason playing meaningless exos, and traveling all over the world and now is sick. Take a break you moron. He won't be ready for the AO going like this.

That'd be either about Fernando Fiasco's jock or Nadal's famous ass.

Sure :lol:

I hope you enjoyed it :)Thanks man, I did. :)

Strategic tank from Lacko in the 3rd, didn't want to embarrass Nadal any further.

Sure :lol:





I hope you enjoyed it :)


So you are saying he didn't.
How else do you explain him losing to a mediocre player like novak.;)

Sure :lol:

:worship: It was an excuse just like Roddick's 'mono' :retard:

The bitterness still seeps through because he won. Haters are on fire today. Probably going to scatter like cockroaches when Nadal routines Mugbis today :sad: :awww:

lol Nadal fans here actually crying thesedays - because of the amount of posts in a thread :cuckoo:

Rafatardism is both a good and a bad thing. It's bad because it is annoying, but it is so hilarious.

The bitterness still seeps through because he won. Haters are on fire today. Probably going to scatter like cockroaches when Nadal routines Mugbis today :sad: :awww:

its usually the most clueless fedZEALOToids who are most riddled with envy fungus topspin doc.

this is funny as shit.

i dont have a problem with normal and reasonable fedZEALOToids. its the ones with all the envy fungus who are a miserable and hateful breed.

their hate consumes them.

Right on cue...

OMG, Rafa creates so much passion... well, it's logical, he is the number one and clearly the best player nowdays and a living legend of tennis too. Vamos!

The bitterness still seeps through because he won. Haters are on fire today. Probably going to scatter like cockroaches when Nadal routines Mugbis today :sad: :awww:
Of course, were Federer the one to get bagelled, you'd be saying the exact same thing, right?

it is good to see you around ejaculon.

ready for a great season old warrior?

i am really pissed at the clay warrior. he needed to skip his doubles match.

i dont even know why the bloody hell he is in doha? its not like he needs the appearance money.

he could have done better with more rest and more time on the practice courts.

Agree 100%. This is 2009 all over again :sad: Playing with fever is just stupid :retard:

He should be in bed, swimming in anti biotics with Xisca attending to him not grinding out wins against challenger mug playing match of his life :o His pride will be his undoing :(

Just disgraceful from cheatdal :o Plays like crap, makes up excuses because Cheatdal literally cannot play poorly without something physically wrong with him outside his control, and still wins. If he had any class, he would realize making up these injury and sickness excuses is hurtful to the players he wins against. Yeah right, Cheatdal only carea about one thing, and that's money.

Paranoia at its worst

he has a fever not a broken leg, he'll be recovered and at his best by Saturday when you will be overjoyed at his title

dreadful poster this topspindoctor

noticed Nadal on his death bed coming out and winning doubles match 6-0 6-2

Nadal was far from his best today and he's apparently coming off a fever so it's understandable. Lukas played well, he went for his shots with a lot of success and played aggressively throughout the entire match.

In the third set Nadal took a quick 4-0 lead but then Lukas took one of the breaks back. Then Nadal broke back again when Lukas was serving 3-5.

PS: this is the 10th time ever Nadal gets bagelled.

This :yeah:

True champions fight through adversities.

And even truer champions make up adversities to fight through :o

clay warrior was at 4% capacity today so what happened:

he went out anyway and snatched both singles and doubles.

weep on. we need the free amusement.

And even truer champions make up adversities to fight through :o

You think Nadal was faking? Maybe you should have seen him coughing and sweating on court, missing routine shots and making something like 40 UE. Lacko is a joke, wake up please. Nadal thrashed him 2/2/2 in AO 2010 :zzz:

it does not take a rocket scientist to see that he was playing in a physically weakened state.

all i had to do was watch him for a second and knew he was feeling very weak out there. that can affect your concentration a great deal.

Nadull was also in exo mode. Of course, anyone playing aggressive enough on a hard court can give him a result like this but Nadull was poor as well. It's the excuses, the phantom injuries, and the post-win whining about problems which last a set at most which bothers me :rolleyes: Oh, and the Nadulltards who blindly believe every excuse like sheep :wavey:

God the back and forth tard wars are tiresome. Exact same posts from the exact same people EVERY SINGLE TIME. What is the point?

Anyway, not good from Rafa. If he really is suffering from a fever I'd prefer he withdrew, but I seriously doubt the great numpty would do anything as smart as that.

God the back and forth tard wars are tiresome.

stefan edberg would be spinning in his grave

why?

who burried him alive already and managed to live himself?

last time i checked, he was having a blast with his family in the cayman islands while also hitting with safin on the red clay there.

looks like blind fedloving bugs were in full swing last night.......get a clue goons, spartan was clearly suffering out there but i was quick enough to notice lukas playing well.......

spartans fight, they fight and win no matter the situation........nadal cannot think of not competing and that's somewhat annoying at times even to his fans........so no need to puke your hate all over this victory thread........

just wishing that gulbis beats him today because that's the only way spartans go down and take rest, they go down fighting........

the fact that spartan plays, fights and wins all the time keeps other players' hopes alive and keeps the season interesting.......if he planned his schedule better by eliminating the doubles and exos bullshit, giving his best only in selective events, there would practically be zero chance for anyone on the tour of winning anything on any surface........

I love how this thread's title is positive, while if Federer played a match with scoreline it'd be "Roger falters horribly against nobody, he's done, out next round. finite."

Gotta admire how he won this match, Lacko seemed surprised at how different Nadal was in the 3rd set compared to the 2nd, haha.

Nadal is GOAT? He is a joke. Got bageled by who again?

Only 10th bagel of his career.

So many of y'all are sick. So little time.

:haha: :haha:

How delusional.

noticed Nadal on his death bed coming out and winning doubles match 6-0 6-2

6:2 6:0 if I have mono, no?

You think Nadal was faking? Maybe you should have seen him coughing and sweating on court, missing routine shots and making something like 40 UE. Lacko is a joke, wake up please. Nadal thrashed him 2/2/2 in AO 2010 :zzz:

Yeap. I am sure if it was Federer he would have died on court let alone win the match and then the doubles. Some spartan spirit! ;)

oh yeah, it's not as if Roger played 6 matches including a 5-setter with mono at the AO 08...

oh wait... :retard:

Both players are fighters, Rafa is a bigger one but you don't get where Roger has gotten without being able to fight back a lot of things (climate, illness, etc) when matches get rough

And for the record, I don't think Doha is the best way to measure how they are about the AO, they won't go all out there, if they can win it, it's ok, if they won't, I don't think either one is gonna lose sleep over it. :shrug:

Let's see how things are at the second week of the AO, not before

Plus I doubt Rafa will have flu symptoms by the time AO starts. In fact a player's condition or form isn't even that relevant until the 2nd week of the AO.

Yeap. I am sure if it was Federer he would have died on court let alone win the match and then the doubles. Some spartan spirit! ;)

Actually,Federer is one of the very few players who have never retired from a match ever so I'd say he has proven he can play through adversity(injuries/fatigue/ilness etc.)just fine.There are certainly things you can criticize Fed for but this isn't really one of them as he always competes until the end instead of throwing in the towel and retiring.

Plus I doubt Rafa will have flu symptoms by the time AO starts. In fact a player's condition or form isn't even that relevant until the 2nd week of the AO.

Of course it's relevant. If a player's condition and/or form sucks during the first week, he may end up playing a couple of tight five setters. That would be bad, since it's probably going to be hot in Australia.

And for the record, I don't think Doha is the best way to measure how they are about the AO, they won't go all out there, if they can win it, it's ok, if they won't, I don't think either one is gonna lose sleep over it. :shrug:

Let's see how things are at the second week of the AO, not before

Bingo,who wins Doha/Abu Dhabi/Kooyong/Brisbane etc. is largely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things,those are just warm up tournaments and nothing more.Fed lost to Kolja in Doha last year and then went on to win AO while in 2009 similarly Nadal lost to Monfils in Doha and went on to win the title.

By the time AO rolls around I'm pretty sure Nadal will be fine,in general I think his physical woes are often blown out of proportion,the guy's tougher than some people(mostly his fans which is strange)give him credit for.

Plus I doubt Rafa will have flu symptoms by the time AO starts. In fact a player's condition or form isn't even that relevant until the 2nd week of the AO.

It's relevant the first week if they, you know, lose. You silly banana.

Okay, so I've read all of this thread now, and there are five types of posts in different quantities. One being the most common kind of post.

1. People talking about Nadal being great, a true fighter
2. People complaining about Fed fans bashing Nadal for getting bagel'd
3. People talking about how Nadal is stupid for not pulling out of the doubles/Doha
4. People who simply say "fun match, entertaining"
5. Fed fans who really did bash Nadal for getting bagel'd

The moral of the story? Nadal dickriders, stop being so touchy.

He won't pull out, though. It's just a fever and he doesn't care whether he wins or loses this even anyway. Might as well play to see what'll happen. Besides, if he does win then people can just say, "he won Doha WITH A FEVER? This man will win AO for sure now."

I had fever and play short , NO?!!

Nadal surely isn't the most lovable player out there, but does he really deserve to have such an amount of dumb worshippers? :scratch: I wouldn't wish that to my worst enemy... :o

This is Rafael Nadal we are talking about here. Formality, in all slams except for the one in 2009 when he was living on pain-killers.

Good old moonballing always works . You can't say that Nadal was awful in second set but he can't do anything when on fire guy is on other side of the net . Always was and still is . This is why he can't be goat . Nothing is in his hands . It's very difficult to play against a guy from which you can't get anything but at least you know if you are playing a good match you'll have a chance to win no matter on Nadal's level . This always was and forever will be main difference between Nadal and true goat

:lol: and why would I? Pointing out the dumb tards is ban worthy now? :scratch:

Actually he said-
Q. What did you tell yourself at the start of the third set?
RAFAEL NADAL: Well, when I lost the serve for the second time in the second, I didn't fight anymore, because I say, Well, we gonna rest a little bit now and try my best in the third.

Rafa had no energy at that point in the match and did the wise thing. And in the 3rd set it was Rafa's opponent who had no say in the outcome.

The true GOAT should win 4 or 5 slams in a row.

:lol: and why would I? Pointing out the dumb tards is ban worthy now? :scratch:

:hug:

Wow, another danger post for you, good luck.

:scared: :unsure: *shitting my pants* :scared:




:haha: :haha: :awww: :hug:

This Lacko is good.

I agree :)

Yeah, like Federer didn't have to save his guts a couple of times in first two rounds. And even loose a match from extra n00bs like Benetau last year.
I asume you know how it is to play 100+ matches a year (like 200-300 sets) with a best players in the world and not to play even let say 20 bad sets?
I pitty you guys who have energy day after day whining why Nadal isn't a goat or Federer isn't the goat because first got bageled yesterday ant the other one cries a lot.
Face it, Nadal won't be GOAT in your eyes even if he wins 20 GS back to back, so stop making your arguments every single time he slips up. It's pathetic and childish.

liquidate as in turn one into a liquid?

i guess he's gonna evaporate his next opponent

i love how the haters think rafa cant win ao now because of this match :haha:

Nadal fans and their extreme arrogance....They can't even stand Nadal losing a set :o

Against Blake in Paris 2008. Sorry you fail. Rogie had many late withdrawals before tournaments as well after being sick or injured. It is not in a match but it is about the same. While Rafa can play injured and sick and tired at the same time. This is Sparta, my man!

This is for the haters!

That's what I've been trying to get the haters to believe since the US Open, I've been hyping up Federer and Murray as the favorites for the AO. That would make Rafa's 10th slam an even bigger shot to the guts of those haters, so let's keep that belief going :yeah:

Except that Nadal won the third set because he raised his level, and was able to start seriously dictating points with his forehand - and Lacko couldn't hang with him. I think the match was Nadal's to lose, as much as it was Lacko's to win. Nadal won it in the end by being aggressive when he needed to be, despite making many uncharacteristic errors.

LOL these Nadal threads are so predictable. :spit:

W/O is not the same as retirement and to be honest, it's a bit stupid to play if you're ill or injured (Roger did it in AO 08 for example), the player is the one to suffer the consequences :shrug:

Rafa has withdrawn from tournaments before as well and there's nothing wrong with that ;)

Well, luckily for the best players, these on-fire curiosities are few and far between, because anyone who decides to go all out against them has to play at an incredibly high level, punishing the ball repeatedly with a way higher success rate than normal, and finally, reality catches up with them when they either : score a solitary win and flop miserably afterwards, or fizzle out in the middle of the match itself.

Are you stupid? He said Federer's never retired from a match, as in once he's started playing he's never retired before it finished. That's different than withdrawing before the match starts, which is a walkover for the other player.

Get your facts straight before trying to sound all high and mighty, thanks.

I was disgusted by the outcome of this match when I watched the scoreline. However, I never saw this match, so when I read that he had a fever, I was not surprised. When people are sick i.e. mono, fever, injuries sets can go the other way around. Great job Nadal for still coming out on top. Lacko is still a clown.

I hope this fever is leave soon and that he doesn't catch anything else once he reaches Australia.

Only Nadal can generate this much interest for tennis

Nobody's interested in the match.

The commotion is all about Nadull's customary excuses.
