It's all money in the bank for Nadal
Manco
The pressure on sunday is ALL on Djokovic. Nadal is literally playing
with house money the rest of his career. He has no legacy stains
whatsoever, which is a first in tennis history. He probably is the
GOAT.

Nadal has legacy strains in his record. The most notable one is if he
is not to win
USO and Wimbledon this year then he has failed to defend any of his
non clay court
grand slam title. He has not won a single Year End Championship. His
window of
opportunity in becoming GOAT will be in the next two year. His
ability to handle the
pressure of expectation has shown in recent years wasn't very good.
He was expected
to win FO 2009 but he could not handle the pressure of been the first
guy to win five
straight FO. And in this years AO he was expected to hold all four
grand slam at the same
time he once again failed.

hehe...in his own little private world where the most importan thing is
beating fed, yes...he is the goat lol
in the real world...not so much

Probably? He is not and won't be until #17 as things stand right now.
Do you think he will ever get there?
ah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Fair call. Seems achievement at the very highest levels does cause him
to choke, which is a shame but proves he's human.
Federer also was on the steps of 2 massive all time achivements & also lost;
1) Going for 6 straight Wimbledons in 2008 final he lost 9-7 in 5th to Rafa.
2) Going for 6 straight USOs he lost in 2009 final in 5 sets to Potro.

Going for 16 grand slam titles in AO 2010....los.....oh hang on a minute!
:))))
If you could ever contort you mind to thinking that the greatest all-time
acheiver or them all "chokes" at the very highest level....you would have to
think that Sampras coughed up a couple of lungs worth of chokeage onto the
clay of RG.
Lets not event *mention* losing, with plenty left in the tank, on his home
turf, to some up and comer who would lose to Henman next round. Chokesville
Tennessee.
I am prepared, of course, to consider the possibility that you are a
clueless, bitter, jealous loon. If only there were some evidence to back
this up....hmm....

know it's an excuse but FO and AO he was injured. he demolished sod
many times before and after that FO and ferrer was his lapdog many
tiems prior to AO. granted, he lost though.
