Sure, but the way Nadal can play with 100% intensity for 4 hours on end always seemed suspect to me.i just assume all pros in every sport are

They must sometimes hit existing marks though.The balls leave a mark on the clay anyway
They do. A few mistakes have been made throughout the championships.They must sometimes hit existing marks though.
They stop between points... I can play 4/5 hours of tennis. Not at the same intensity obviously but I don't spend my life training for it eitherSure, but the way Nadal can play with 100% intensity for 4 hours on end always seemed suspect to me.
So can Djokovic famously with even more stamina. So could Murray.Sure, but the way Nadal can play with 100% intensity for 4 hours on end always seemed suspect to me.
What? So does Djokovic.Sure, but the way Nadal can play with 100% intensity for 4 hours on end always seemed suspect to me.
Yeah, I realize a tennis match is not a 4 hour uninterrupted rallyThey stop between points... I can play 4/5 hours of tennis. Not at the same intensity obviously but I don't spend my life training for it either
Nah, but Federer is actually good, Nadal just runs around a lot.Even Fed for 39 isn’t a slouch. Just look at Wimbledon last year how long that went on for. I’m sure @KirkDuyt didn’t say he’s doping.
feck off!
Yeah and French will be in spring next year. This year was perfect for someone to upset him.Nadal on 20 and looks to have more slams in the tank.
They're great athletes, it's not like they're doing something superhuman. I have loads of friends who can play intense matches of tennis for hours and they're not using PEDs so why would people who dedicate their whole life to it not be able to do it?Yeah, I realize a tennis match is not a 4 hour uninterrupted rally
No other player can play with that insane intensity without pause like Nadal does. It's the reason he's one of the best either. Obviously it's mostly a mental thing, but physically he seems impervious and at that age, well, he just seems suspect to me.
Pete Sampras won 14 and that was a big number. Nadal could equal him on one surface.Number 13 at a Grand Slam is sick
Passed out after excessive wanking.Where’s @wr8_utd?
TBH, I won't be surprised if every single tennis player is on some sort of just within the law drugs. But if anyone is bringing it up specifically to attack Nadal, Federer's comeback at his age is even more suspectFederer came back from injury at 36 to win 2 5-setters in a row in 2017 scrambling around for five hours each in the semifinals and finals and physically outperforming Nadal but Rafa winning his favourite GS at 34 is suspect.
Some of the Federer fanbase is so suspect.
Vamos !
Nah, not really. Federer has a game that's more suited to longevity..... suspect? Sure, but not more so than Djokovic or Nadal now or at their retrospective peaks. But then again - who'd think Agassi would out-age most of his generation.TBH, I won't be surprised if every single tennis player is on some sort of just within the law drugs.

For Federer to have come back from injury and play grueling 5 setters in back to back matches at the AO is a lot more suspect than Nadal being accused of doping. Yet, we don't bring it up because that's not something you do. Yet, somehow, people love to bring it up when it comes to Rafa every time he wins something. Novak and Murray have incredible stamina as well but they don't get questioned the same way.Nah, not really. Federer has a game that's more suited to longevity..... suspect?

Even if so - theres too much money in the 3 of them to allow to be outed while they are actually playing. It'll come out like years after the point - a double money maker that way.
I think you need to go watch Nadal in 2008 and compare him to now before saying he’s on peds. He’s way faster in 2008 and would get onto anything.Nah, not really.

At least it's no Bron vs MJGeez, tennis fans are so touchy. It's like the Messi vs Ronaldo thread.
