There are positives to be found here nevertheless.

He is injury free at the moment. Following that fact, his confidence and high level of play will come back no doubt.

Amazing win from Nadal today beating most in form player of the Tournament Ruud in straight sets.

It's been good Tournament for Nadal he got 3 great training sessions in for the new season. Unlucky for Ruud the Goat find his form and fitness back today.

Nadal is now 2nd favourite for Australian open and favourite for Roland Garros 2023 Tournaments.

Very happy Nadal didn't peak for this Exhibition Tournament.

 

[Front242]

Yep, confidence booster as well finishing the season with a win
Ruud never won a set against a Top 3 player now 0-20?
Rafa also had 37 W to 16 UFE.

Pathetic stats for Ruud alright against top 3.

Exhibition tournament lol. Sad. This is the biggest tournament after the slams and awards up to 1500 points for the winner.

That's your problem Nadal got 3 good training sessions in this Tournament ending in straight sets training win.

You did even say Congratulations on Nadal impressive win today over scary hardcourts beast Ruud.

Ranking points don't make a Tournament great no matter what atp tour says.

That wasn't me saying congratulations to Nadal Serious tool fanboy post to think he's happy to bow out with 1 win to a guy with rubbish stats against the top players. He'd desperately love to win this tournament.

Ruud flat, protecting himself not needing or wanting to win -
Too much respect / dead rubber.
If it was on a plate he'd have taken it.

Ruud may have killed his momentum and lost bragging rights though.

Who said I am Nadal fan anyway? Regardless this was important for training sessions for Nadal real comeback next season.

Nadal never had enough matches going into the finals anyway.

Better Nadal peak for slams than 2nd rate Tournament.

I take it your Djokovic fanboy.

If anyone is interested in doubles, Ram/Salisbury are playing Arevalo/Rojer right now.

 

[Kieran]

Well he certainly didn’t have enough matches going into the event, that’s statistically true, it’s not opinion. Since Wimbledon, he played only match in preparation for the USO, 4 matches there, then one match in Paris. 6 matches in how many months, while also recovering from the abdomen injury?

 

[nehmeth]

Exactly.

Who do you think will win between FAA & Fritz?

I’d like to see Fritz win this one. FAA is probably the favorite.

 

[Andy22]

If Nadal had more matches and had not been recovering from the abdominal injury he most likely makes the final.

It's unfortunate Nadal peaked to late however we still have Djokovic to enjoy the only star left in the Tournament.

 

[Tennis_Steve]

I like both Fritzy and FAA.
Got a feeling peak Fritz could win the day.
You never know though..

Will catch the doubles tomorrow morning, while I work out

 

[tented]

Hi Nehmeth,

I think it’s going to come down to which player serves better. FAA has a lot of momentum and confidence going into this week, so I think he’ll prevail.

 

[the AntiPusher]

It is the match up, I feel, also Rafa has served 14 aces so far in this match, I had to check that stat twice lol!

Are you trying to get me excited..I can't wait to go watch the replay on my Tennis app.

Well you could have seen it 'live' I had to get up at Midnight to watch the 'serving feast' lol!

 

[the AntiPusher]

I know it was a dead rubber, still good result highlight was 16 aces from Rafa

Time for a sample, where's Dr. Front. Seriously, How did he decide to really really go for service.

Dont ask me, why? .....Kieren and I agree 'Rafa is a mystery' he is also good at the net, hopefully in 2023, he can shorter the points, he will be turning 37 years young.

I take it your Djokovic fanboy.

You don't come to the 5th biggest tournament of the year which you've never won and see it simply as a training session. No I'm not a Djokovic fanboy and, once again, Nadal would dearly love to win this so called 2nd rate tournament. If it was such a 2nd rate tournament then clearly he'd have won it cos 2nd rate obviously means it's easy to win.

If Oleg McNoLeg actually had legs then he'd most likely have to change his name.
