Yeah, I've just never really liked Nadal all that much. I think the way Federer plays has a certain art to it. Whether or not you like him, it's just brilliant to watch.
The only problem I have with Nadal is his flat personality. It seems he's been trained ever since he was a kid, to have a very repressed personality.
I personally think it's Uncle Toni's doing. It seems he's the puppeteer controlling Nadal, telling him what to say. An example would be the whole pulling out of Wimbledon and then coming back to the US Open, and mentioning that he still has injuries, even after resuming his traditional playing (grinding and running for balls).
It seemed like a total strategic move on Toni's part; Nadal mentions still being injured before the US Open (and not wanting to talk about it even now), so that when, and if, he loses, he can blame it all on his "injuries."
This raises the question: We all know he has an ab strain, but is he covering up this whole "injury" talk just so he can fall back on an excuse when he loses?
I still maintain that him losing to Federer at Madrid, and then subsequently losing to Soderling at the French Open early on, shook his foundation.
Oh, and add Federer winning both majors, which he previously held the titles to.
I'm a huge fan of Federer, so I'd like to see Nadal and Federer in the finals, just like in July, But you know, that's not happening.
They played in July?
I remember they only played each other at Madrid on clay a few months back, and Federer won.
. Honest mistake.
