Nadal Will Not Play On Blue "Clay" Again

First topic message reminder :

According to this tweet Nadal has issued an ultimatum to Tiriac. If Madrid courts remain blue he will not play.

If it doesn't change next year, there will be one less tournament in my schedule.

I suspect Rafa is now back in Manacor practicing on his clay courts there..
Rafa will not appreciate himself how he lost that match and he is probably criticising himself more than we ever can. I think he will put it behind him and move on... so get off your prayer mt JM he hasn´t lost the FO yet

Nadal is still a big RG favourite in my eyes Haddie.

However I am excited for a big group of players for the clay slam, are you only excited when Rafa plays?

Support tennis not 1 player personally

Well no point in denying my favourite is Rafa.. but there are many more out there I love to watch.. I hope I get chance to see the JDP and Dogopolov match today... now theres a tasty little mix . But sayiing it like any player or no they all add theiir bit to this wonderful sport and should all be appreciated (not beyond criticism we know) but we are imo lucky to be living in this wonderful tennis era.

I was disappointed Bellucci lost to Gasquet in 1st round cause he can give Federer and others a hard time when he's 100%.

Dolgopolov has been my favourite player to watch for some time Haddie, makes the game look so funky.

I find him totally fascinating. He is different and refreshing to watch... he needs to tighten up his game a bit.. can play some loose shots at times.. a llittle more patience and maturity and I think he has great potential. Has a good on court demeanour .. I like him

Good riddance to bad rubbish! Keep the blue and lose Nadal.

There is a lot of blue during the HC season, yet he manages finals these days.

Have just heard that Tiriac will not be "playing" in Madrid next year either...
