I have a similar rant deep within about Rafa and poly strings, but I don't want to incur bobby's wrath. This part:
had me
. That is like half the posters over on Tennis Warehouse forums.

My friend Toby, who's the most obsessive tennis fan I know (and who cultivates a luxuriant bitterness toward Nadal, if that's relevant), started sending me videos of fast-court tennis from the '90s and asking if I thought Rafa could win majors under similar conditions.

Why would any rant about poly strings be directed only to Rafa. Good luck finding a pro that doesn't string with poly.
And actually they say that Rafa is one of the least fussy players on tour about his equipment. For example, Federer has his racquets custom designed to the tee. It is weighted just for him. The grip is designed to find his hand perfectly, etc. etc. And if you handed Federer a racquet, say, during a practice hitting session that was strung 1 lb off from what he is used to, he would immediately tell the difference.
They say with Rafa you can just hand him whatever racquet and he just goes with it. On the female side, the same is true with Serena. She doesn't give s shite about equipment. Just hand her a racquet and tell her to play.

I also have a friend that deeply hates Nadal. I mean, I don't like Fed, but I don't like Fed because I think he's a smug a-hole that's somehow acquired a pass for smug a-hole-ness.
My friend, on the other hand, hates Nadal on much deeper and more complicated levels. I may not even fully comprehend the origins or full extent of his enmity towards Rafa.
