Has this man got no shame?
He is doing Rafa zero favors with comments like these.
But he doesn't rattle off tournament after tournament, looking as if he can go again and again right after he wins the next one like Djokovic does. Eventually they take their toll.For years people would see Nadal take MTOs when losing and his opponent was redlining only to come back and play better than before while his opponent had cooled off. This is how he won 2010 Wimbledon for example. He did this in several matches that tournament. And in many other tournaments.
Nadal always gets injured when he's losing. For Novak most of the criticisms are when he's winning and takes an MTO. So the idea that he is taking them to cool off his opponent is pretty remote.But he doesn't rattle off tournament after tournament, looking as if he can go again and again right after he wins the next one like Djokovic does.

His in match fitness is probably slightly better than Djokovic's though even though they both have these in match recoveries. Djokovic also called for trainer numerous times during this tournament.
He did the same back in 2021.Has this man got no shame?He is doing Rafa zero favors with comments like these.
Yeah we all saw Nadal's miracle medicine (MADcine) wins last year all of a sudden out of the blue despite all the suffering, injury and retirement talk - gamesmanship par excellence.Has this man got no shame?He is doing Rafa zero favors with comments like these.
Neither Djoker nor Nadal should ever talk about fake injuries.Not that big of a comment
many people, even Novak fans, are thinking the same
even Novak took a shot at Rafa to Serbian media last press conference, so all is fair
2005 Wimbledon I think yes. Toni Nadal saw Djokovic playing a match on the outside courts from far away.Isn't this the same Toni Nadal who said to Rafa back in 2005 in the locker room, we have a big problem, his name is Novak Djokovic??
