Nadal's peak movement is a defence phenomenon... insane lateral movement.

Not trying to insinuate anything on Jannik Sinner beyond what is already known. But here are the facts:
-Sinner was 22-1 on the year around April where the positive tests took place.
-He was surprisingly physically strong then. No issues with cardiovascular or muscle fitness.

Rafa Nadal. 22 slams, 90+ titles, 18+ years on tour. Incredible legacy. But what’s most important is his incredible humanity. No matter what happens from here, he will always be the greatest of all time in this sport. 🐐

Félix Auger-Alliassime will be a multiple Wimbledon champion. that serve, the incredible volleys, the great forehand… but most importantly he has the demeanour of a true champion. Steely. And Rafa Nadal is Rafa Nadal. I’m feeling confident after this win. Bring on Rafole 59.

Every match that Rafa wins from here on out is a pleasure to watch. No matter where. I'm sure that Roger fans and Novak fans have that same sentiment. Time is a limited commodity. Let's embrace the present and, sad as it is, the limited future in tennis that our heroes have.

Seeing a 39 year old Federer, a 35 year old Nadal and a 34 year old Djokovic continually defy the logic of "Father Time" and compete at the highest level for slams will always astound me. Forget what player you root for, these three will always be the benchmark for longevity.

-Since the time those positive tests took place, Sinner has been hurting physically in a number of areas and has now had a prolonged hip issue for awhile.
-He did not take place in the Olympics where anti-doping measures are even harsher than the ATP tour.
I trust Jannik…

Hearing that Rafa is not having a good time of it in practice. If that’s the case, the end is very near.

…but it’s easy to see why people might be suspicious and why this would be damaging to his image. The optics aren’t great.
But I’ll take his explanation at face value. I sincerely hope that this is just a mixup. But losing points and prize money suggests otherwise.

Nadal isn’t just a man, he’s the human form of excellence and talent. He will be taught in the history books for centuries to come. Every step he takes gives new meanings to life. He is the embodiment of perfection in its truest form. All hail rafael nadal
Djokovic isn’t just a man, he’s the human form of excellence and talent. He will be taught in the history books for centuries to come. Every step he takes gives new meanings to life. He is the embodiment of perfection in its truest form. All hail novak djokovic

Rafa's '14 AO final loss is painful as a fan. I'm sure it was ten times more painful for him as a competitor to not be able to compete to the best of his ability. What breaks my heart though, are his tears here. But win or lose, he always shows endless love for the sport.

I always say that whatever happens, Rafa is still the GOAT of the streets. Novak can have the stats. Novak is the stats GOAT, sure.
But Rafa is the GOAT of the people, and the stats he’s a close second. Enough for me to say he’s overall GOAT.

I've watched tons of replays of Federer from 2003-2012 when he could be considered to be prime/peak, and in my opinion his FH is the single most devastating groundstroke you could find from that era.
That Nadal managed to find ways to reset points off of Peak Fed's FH is insane.

ND being anti-vaccination is one thing. But if he actually stood by his stance with conviction instead of trying to weasel his way into countries with exemptions, he'd have my respect. Yet he continues to remain a poster-boy for entitled children in the world scared of a needle.

Federer: This fucker Novak can kick rocks. Robbing wins off me at slams with gluten-free pasta and the oxygen egg once I hit 31, yet I still managed to stay on top of the head-to-head with him before 2016, when he was 29. Stupid serb. Rafa is my true Rival, and my lover<3

It’s over guys. It’s been a fun ride. 22 slams, 90+ titles and many other achievements. Can’t be too displeased. Rafa deserves clemency and peace with his family if that’s what the body is pushing him towards. He’ll still be the legend he is off the court as he is on it ❤️ 🇪🇸

A pretty pessimistic update, he’s stopped practice for now, and undergoing a different treatment.

Shoutout to young gen of tennis. They push the Big 3 so hard. They outclassed them at times in BO3, and are pushing them at slams too. Stef in 2021 RG final, Dominic at 2020 AO final and 2019 RG final, now Shapo and Berrettini at Wimby. They deserve love from us, not putdowns.❤️

Rafael Nadal has had haters seething for over a decade now. Ever since he’s beaten their former Swiss hero around in matches like Wimbledon 2008 final and Australian Open 2009, they needed to jump ship to Djokovic to find someone that could somewhat consistently beat him 😂

You know? I actually don't feel like Roger's 2003-2007 era was weak anymore. It's just that Young Roger was so good he made his opponents look helpless.
I also don't feel like this era is that weak. It's just that Old Novak (and Old Rafa and Roger) are too good.

Odd to me Djokovic is on 7 Wimbys instead of 7 US Opens. Djokovic deserves those Wimbledon titles but his form leading up to the finals of NY has often been higher. He just has a higher choke index at New York. 2012, 2014, 2016, 2007 and arguably 2013 US Open losses are poor.

He started out beating those guys regularly. Over time, they found the means to beat him too. In time, they equalized their levels and produced some of the most exhilarating tennis matches in the strongest era of tennis ever (2008-2014).

Even if Prizmic loses to Djokovic today, he’s got real tekkers. He’ll be a future top 5 player. Athletically he’s on par with many of the 20-24 year old gen. Super strong and got a lot of ballstriking talent, and a very strong mentality.

Aslan Karatsev is down 6-3 7-6 to Phillip Kohlschreiber despite winning more points (74 to 72), more receiving points (28 to 10), and having higher serve win rates (88% on first, 70% on second to Kohlscreiber's 72% and 69%). Unreal sport, tennis and its scoring system too.

Every day I dream that Rafa summons *this* FH vs Djokovic at this year's US Open final.

A large percentage of Fedfans have to be the dumbest fans in tennis.
With Rafa washed up at 37 and Novak struggling with an elbow at 36.

Made the semis of the French Open and was one point away from winning Wimbledon.
