It's not whether Federer made excuses for his losing against Fish, Novak, etc. (But incidentally, even if Federer makes those excuses, he has held No.1 for a record in consecutive weeks. Let's see Novak hold it that long consecutively). It's not whether Nadal loses to Ferrero in his first match in Rome and blames his blister for the loss. Regardless of the injures Federer and Nadal claim for their loses, they do not quit midway through the match. They face their loses like champions do and not like the cowardly Serbian Novak is - that is the point. Moreso, Federer and Nadal complain before the match, play the match anyway, then if they lose, they lose and complain more. Unlike Novak who is fine before the match, loses his grip midway, and complains why he has to quit. Strep throat my *** - Novak finishes his meds yesterday and can play a more than 2 hour match to beat Andreev today under sweltering heat. Sure he had strep throat in his brain.
