Federer?
Rafa Needle
Roger Federer is the one that should have the questionable doping questions raised. He wears cardigans though so nobody asks.

Its just terrific that at nearly 37, a bad back and with four kids, he comes out of semi retirement a few times a year for our entertainment.
Roger PEDerer?

I see the hypocrite has been on already changing sayomg how Nadal is probably injured. Always an excuse for Nadal.
Injury is not an excuse, itâs what happens athletes, Nadal is injury prone.
What is remarkable is that PEDerer has only ever missed one slam tournament with an injury. He now dodges the French Opens as he is afraid of Nadal.
Nadal and Murray have all missed around the same amount of slams through injury, none of these players decide to skip a tournament because they donât have a chance in it, that is sad and itâs what a coward like PEDerer would do.

Usual pattern of behaviour. Quits on his chair claiming injury against Cilic in Australia, another long absence, then re-emerges in top form for clay season followed again now it would seem by another long disappearance.
Its amazing how Nadal is able to return with his A game after all these supposed long injury lay off. Pretty much all players after a long injury lay off take a long time to find their stride again. Just look at Djokovic at the moment.
Itâs not amazing.
If you think itâs amazing the form of a player improves when he is not injured then youâre even dumber that I give you credit for.
I was expecting. Biggest hypocrite on here. He is even now claiming that djokovic and murray have been out injured as much as Nadal in their careers. 
Murray has missed the same amount of slams through injury as Nadal has. Youâre not very bright if you fail to understand facts.
No mention of an injury in the press reports. Apparently he needs a long lay off for some reason.
RAFAEL NADAL will not play Queenâs after being told to âlisten to his bodyâ by doctors and is now a doubt to play at Wimbledon in July.
Nadal has played Queenâs, the traditional Wimbledon warm-up tournament for many players, five times previously and won his sole title back in 2008.
On that occasion he beat Novak Djokovic in the final and the Serb has already confirmed his attendance at this yearâs event.
Nadal hinted after winning his 11th French Open title on Sunday, beating Dominic Thiem in straight sets, that he might need a significant break after a busy clay-court season.
And the world No 1 confirmed that he would not head to the Fever Tree Championships - although he appears still to be planning on playing Wimbledon.

And the world No 1 confirmed that he would not head to the Fever Tree Championships - although he appears still to be planning on playing Wimbledon.
âQueenâs is a great event, I have happy memories of winning the title in 2008 and I wanted to come back this year,â said Nadal.
âBut it has been a very long clay court season for me with great results.
âI would like to say sorry to the tournament organisers and most of all to the fans that were hoping to see me play, but I have spoken to my doctors and I need to listen to what my body is telling me.â
Nadal played, in his own words, âa long and mentally tough clay-court seasonâ in which he won titles in Barcelona, Rome and of course Roland Garros, with his only defeat coming against Thiem in Madrid.
But it now remains to be seen whether Nadal will take on Roger Federer at Wimbledon, although the Spaniard did not play at Queenâs last year and was still fit for the tournament in SW19.
Tournament director Stephen Farrow said: âWe are obviously disappointed that Rafa has decided that he is unable to play this year, but we wish him well and hope to see him on our courts in the future.
âAt the same time, we are thrilled to have added Novak Djokovic to a line-up that already includes so many of the best players in the world.
âWe remain on track for a fantastic week of tennis at the Fever-Tree Championships and we canât wait to get started."
Roger Federer meanwhile will head to London for Wimbledon fresh after taking the clay-court season off.
The world No 2 is playing his traditional warm-up for the tournament, in Stuttgart this week and Halle next.
Are you sure of that?
He received medical attention in the final set.
Yes.
You seem to be quite ignorant.
For fucking cramp in his hand ya fucking dope
Really so Murray up till now has missed 5 slams in his career. Care to tell me how many nadal has missed or would you like me to do it?
Very tiring on the hands Iâd imagine having to scatch your arse and have a full towel down after every point.
He has missed 6 with injury, the same as Rafa.
