Rafael Nadal
Rafael "Rafa" Nadal Parera (born 3 June 1986) is a former World No. 1 Spanish professional tennis player, currently ranked #2. Nadal has won six Grand Slam singles titles, and the 2008 Olympic gold medal in singles.
Nadal was ranked World Number #1 from 18 August 2008 to 5 July 2009. In 2009, he became the first player to simultaneously hold Grand Slam titles on clay, grass and hardcourt. His success on clay has earned him the nickname "The King of Clay".
Nadal was ranked World No. 2, behind Roger Federer for a record 160 weeks before earning the top spot. He has subsequently lost this position again to Federer following the Swiss player's triumph at the 2009 Madrid Masters (where Federer beat him in the final), French Open and Wimbledon, as well as his own withdrawal from Wimbledon due to injury. In 2008, he was given the Prince of Asturias Award for Sports, in recognition of his achievements in tennis.

Does Nadal take steroids? He just seems to recover so quickly between points... Maybe it's because he picks his ass? Agassi took Crystal Meth without being caught on Tour.. Maybe Nadal is taking steroids...

RE:Steroids
i think the picking his ass thing definitely helps out. he's gotta have something hidden between those brown cheeks. perhaps a small vial of meth.

Novak does it better. If only Roddick could imitate Rafa and win some majors that would be nice

RE:Rafael Nadal
Nadal's got a year left in him. All that ass-picking has taken a toll on him. And if he's on roids, maybe he only injects his left arm lol. Have you seen how much bigger it is than his right?

RE:Rafael Nadal
Well, his ass picking is just as bad as baseball players itching below the wasit line. I mean how times in one at bat do you have to itch? 5 times just seems to much to me, so to me Rafa can pick that wedgie if he wants. Just dont do it 5 times in less than 1 point.

RE:Rafael Nadal
Less than 5 times in one point? Let's be reasonable here...

I think Nadal will make it to a lot of semi-finals but probably no actual titles. What do you guys think?
