Rafa vulnerable on pressure
First topic message reminder :
Consistently Rafa has failed to defend a slam outside FO when he is the defending champion, to add more he could not hold on to no.1 either after winning the year end number one, this just shows how much pressure it was on Fed when he was holding on to number 1 position inspite of great challangers in like Rafa, Djoko,Roddick, Hewitt etc,...
I won't be surprised if Rafa wins some slam in 2012 outside French, but just can't see him defend a GS title, I wrote about this twice once in 2009 and another article in 2010 end in 606 this Wimbledon defeat just backs my argument, lets see how he fares come USO.

MkIII was Olivier Rochus!
Only half kidding! Amazing talent and not that surprising he used to kick Roger's @ss regulary when they were younger and their physique was not so different as when they grew up.
Seriously you are right about "losing out on talented players". If Players were spending as much time on the court hitting the ball instead of in the gym bulking up they woudl be able to do wonderful stuff with a racquet.

.Can't see how Nadal was vulnerable under pressure when time and again he defied the odds to come back from impossible situations.
Most good players do make a comeback against good players, but its difficult to make a comeback against great players, Nadal coming from 2 sets down against Isner is not a thing, but coming back from 2 sets down against Djoko or Federer is a different thing.
