the ATP should have stopped play. They should have given Nadal the
choice of playing with a real tennis racket--or forfeit the match.

He's playing with a snowshoe. It's unsightly. It's gross.

There has to be a rule in tennis where you cannot play with racquets
that cheapen the traditional aesthetics of the game.

who wants to see someone whipping an oversized snowshoe around like
that? We want TENNIS, not RPM-IS.

Hasn't Nadal been playing with the snowshoe for 6 years now?

The Fudgepackerettes will stop at nothing to make excuses, will they?
What a bunch of ballsniffing pussies.

lol. If they play with traditional racquets with 98" square inches
Roger wins every time.

You're thirty years too late. Once Pam Shriver made the USO final, the
cat was out fo the bag.

I've just gotten around to watching the match, they don't look all
that different...do you happen to know surface area of each guy's
racket?

There's also the issue of strings, the improved versions have a big
impact on control and being able to impart spin.
