Rafa Nadal threatens to boycott Madrid's blue courts | Mail OnlineHaven't had a chance to check, has he blamed the court yet in his post-match presser?
Nole cracked the ****s after his first match. Can imagine even Rafa having a whinge. He's always hated how Madrid never made court surfaces that suit him.
he did...Rafa should have said this after he beat Davydenko.
ok you mean why didn't he boycott the tournament immediately after winning the davydenko match? i guess there is a small amount of hypocrisy there...Nah that's not too different to what he said pre-tournament. Same stuff that Nole, Murray and Fed were saying.
He never said he'd boycott. In fact he says specifically "just hope they change it next year", suggesting he'd be back.
Must be remembered he'd be boycotting a Spanish tournament.
Is that you Jim?Apparently Uncle Tony told him to not play the tournament this year. I guess it would have given him better preparation for Rome rather than play on a surface that will not be replicated at all for the rest of the year ( the way it plays, not colour).
Again though, so huge to boycott your own country's biggest tennis tournament.
