BBC POSTER STATED SO....IS IT TRUE?

Nadal has just retired!

tiredness in his serving arm

How pathetic! I knwo he needs to be careful, but quitting at this stage seems to be the kind of thing you do only if nessary!

I know why he has reitred - he is SHIT SCARED OF TIM!!!! Shame I wanted Tim to give him a right pasting. Quitter!!! roflmao

:rolleyes:

Upon the advice of the trainer, who said that he could make the shoulder worse by continuing, he withdrew...

Smart if you ask me, you don't want to risk anything ahead of a Slam, that first set was terrific though, some nice volleying in there, if he can avoid the big servers, he should make the second week of Wimbledon...

Cmon i was half joking! :D

I did have doubts though, I expressed them on the BBC - giv eme your opinion on there, and say what you liek as I have been insulted twice already! roflmao

I did, and as much as I love you SB, I thought they were out of order, sorry :)

Well at least i say what I think! I fI have doubts I express them, if someone wants to persuade me otherwise then I will listen. Anyway they are all getting too carried away, I was mor eor less expressing doubts than saying that it was gospel! well I'm of c ya later you argumentative git! ;) :D

Are you sure he just wasn't too busy exercising his left arm on something else...

Oh yeah, like what? Playing the oboe between points? roflmao

Aaaah the Oboe, i remember it well.......... :D

roflmao

I'm gonna have to PM you and aks you something abotu oboes, cos if I say ti here it will be too rude! :D

Im a clarinet man myself :devil:

Take it up the trumpet do you? roflmao roflmao

I play the fiddle as well

This thread has gone well and truly off topic. :whistle:

ooo-er!!! roflmao

:o :o :o

roflmao

Ill have to PM my response to that. :o

Anyway, back to tennis. Nadal says he might not be fit for Wimbledon ? Its strange he never seems to be injured for the clay season which is far more punishing .

Well Al, its been a long season for Nadal already, even the most physical specimens like Nadal can pick up littly niglly injuries. Hopefully his short rehab time will be successful and he'll be back for Wimbledon. I hope he is because i was impressed with him at Queens club.

Yep , hope he's back for Wimbledon. Blake v Hewitt should be good tomorrow.COME ON Blake :D

Interesting thought. But I am saying nowt! roflmao

:ok: I'd love to see Blake win.

Even better if he does well at Wimbledon. He's proving a little something to those who thought his US Open run was just a one-off good tournament.

I'd love to see a Blake win. He has such a great blend of power and athleticsm. He also has an exquisite return that he takes so early. If he's putting all his tools together, hewitt will be toiling. Blake is exceptional :ok:

I like Blake and am pleased we have a new finalist. He 's a refreshing change as he is dignified and not big headed at all, and has a great presence on the court. We shall see what happens, I like Lleyton from a while back. I think I woudl ike Blake to win, but it is going to be one of thos ematches where I will see what vibes I get on the day and take it from there in terms of who I support.

Ive never even seen Blake play ,but am not a great fan of Hewitt.Its his personality more than his game.
Wasnt it against Blake that he made a racist comment about a linesman ?Allegedly.
So you can guess who Ill be rooting for, esp. after yesterday . :D
