No amount of butt picking can help I guess in some cases. Quote

tennisluvr Posted August 30, 2017 Report Posted August 30, 2017 Nadal's performance at Wimbledon since 2012: 2012 - lost in the 2nd round to Lukas Rosol(world number 100) 2013 - lost in the 1st round to Steve Darcis(world number 135) 2014 - lost in the 4th round to a teenage Nick Kyrgios(world number 144) 2015 - lost in the 2nd round to a QUALIFER(yes a foooking qualifier) Dustin Brown 2016 - Absent 2017 - lost in the round of 16 to Gerd Muller(atleast put a fight finally on grass) Yes I have no doubts, Nadal is the GOAT Quote

The fact is, I love Rafael Nadal and have even gone to watch him live back when he won the Cincinnati Master's in 2013. He defeated Isner at that time. That however, doesn't take away the fact that Federer could take him out 3 times this year when he's 36 years old, and when Nadal is at his best ever since perhaps 2013 when he won the US Open and his last non clay GS.

And this is what a lot of experts call the 5th Slam(after all the 4 GS) Quote
