How can a player be "tired" after 2 days rest?
How can a player be tired after a 5 setter when they have 2 days to recover, to do ice baths, god knows what else etc?
I mean, after even hours of running around, you catch your breath after a few mintues.
I mean I can understand how the body is stiff, you certainly get cramps and what not.
But "tired"? I dont think so.
Okay, its hard to back up after hard work outs. Its hard. But in tennis you get breaks.
Cyclists, Runners, they train every day. 2 days rest is heaps to them. I mean Marathon runners run the equivilent of 4 marathons in training a week, the top ones. They run 160KM a week.
Djokovic ran about 11KM over his semi and final at AO.
Okay, a lot of thats sprinting. But still. Thats not the toughest of workouts over 6 hours with rests.
How could you be tired per say?

Federer is a clown who only beat mugs, making his slam victories less meaningful.
Now since Nadal won many of his titles against a clownish Federer, it means Nadal's victories are also cheapened.
And finally, since Nole beat a clownish Nadal in many of his slam victories, his achievements are further cheapened.
Conclusion: everyone is a clown, playing in a neverending clown era.
