Adaptability is d virtue of Legends..Nadal is a great player and a fighter.. but Legend ?? No... In Federer...we trust..Wishing Djoko as well to have a great run..
Most of the interest in US -Open is gone .Add to the vows of Dish TV, you want this Rs40/ you want that Rs40 / at Rs 400/ you can not get all sports channel .They are fleeceing people . It has been a full circle time to switch back to cable from DTH .Our corporation can not do any jobs where they can satisfy mass customers
Nadal should only play red clay tournaments from now on. He becomes "SUPERFIT", as he claimed in one of his interviews before red clay season started this year. Nadal is done for the rest of 2012 which means he has yet to win a non-clay title since 2010 and his ranking will drop to no.4. I have never understood nadal injuries and never will. He must have a switch which he uses to turn his injuries off and on. He will come back next year and I have feeling he will try to create a tennis schedule so that he can keep winning at the french open but you can forget the other slams. His tennis career has been on the downslide since 2010. He peaked too early in his career and is now paying the price for it.

Mr. Hussain, I find a curious case of jealousy, which I presume for a guy who may be a big zero in life for another guy who defied all odds and won a lot, be it grass, clay or Hard.
What is it so much that even a serious Nadal injury is no respite for your lashing him???

Jealousy is due to Roger-love and Roger's record against Nadal...especially in finals.....nothing else...Ignore karo..

You thought he was done in 2009, didn't you? Remember the bang with which he came back in 2010 before you start predicting. If Nadal were to retire prematurely duse to this injury, it will be a loss for Tennis, not just for Nadal fans.

No, I did not think he was done in 2009. how can you say that? and don't be such a hyporite. you predict all the time so why can't I? don't tell me you only have the right to predict. and if you expect nadal to play like federer till the age of 30 and beyond, then you don't know Nadal. Due to his style of play, its inevitable that he will quit tennis sooner than later. and yes Nadal not playing will be a loss to tennis but tennis will not end, it will move on. just like when federer retires, it will be the greatest loss in tennis history but tennis will move on.
I am not a fan of Nadal but I will miss him in US Open. His game is injury prone and it was very predictable during his peak days (2008) but his fans were expecting that he will win everything. It's not easy to match Federer but Nadal will be called one of the greatest who was 2nd best during Federer era.
