Federer will start training in Dubai soon.
Meanwhile, Nadal should have listened to us General and stopped his season after the US Open and started training on clay back home.
He looked terrible today in Beijing, China. The previously struggling Dynamitrov handled him with ease, 6-2, 6-4.
Rafa didn't hold serve at all in set #1. You can't win if you can't hold serve.
Rafa's forehand was very sad. Missing shots wide, long, some barely reaching the net.
Now he is supposed to head to Shanghai. I'm not even going to mention his fitness.
All this talk about improvement on hard court is either delusion or lip service for his sponsors and die-hard fans.
He needs to get back on clay if it is not already too late, General, and he needs to do it soon if he wants a chance next year at RG.
Otherwise, he may as well play poker and take a golf vacation and enjoy himself.
Respectfully,
masterclass
