Anyone know how frequent PED testing is of tennis tour players? And could they get away with it? Nadal is enormous for a tennis player

It's not frequent and he could get away with it.

Beating old, washed up Fed and Isner in the semi and final? Meh. Novak is gonna spank that arse at the USO, if Rafa can make it far enough to face him

Players can claim whatever they want but no one really cares if it's not a major.

At least we agree Fed is washed up.

I was just flaming a little bit bobby. There are so many Nadal fans on here who never post anything about tennis unless it's regarding Nadal winning something. Not you of course, you're probably the best tennis poster

eta: If I were ranking favorites for the USO I'd probably have Nadal second after Novak

It's really sad that Isner is the face of men's American tennis right now.

I agree. Rafa would have tanked Cincy except that he wanted to be #2 going into USO so he didn't have to play Novak in the semis.

That's not important, what's I'm important is that Isner will put the number of tie-breaks played in career record I out of reach by the time he retires.

I'm pretty sure they said Federer will fall to #7 in the rankings this week.

Guess Rafa's knees aren't as bad as they said they were...or at least not until his next loss.
