Question

Why Nadal fans say he was tired instead of admitting he got his butt kicked?

Answer 1

Here is another question:   Why can't people accept the fact that there are sometimes good reasons why people lose matches?    Injuries, illness (such as mono), exhaustion, etc. happen to all of us.   If someone points out that these were factors in a loss, everyone jumps all over them for being poor losers.

Answer 2

Yeah it's kind of funny because Nadal's fans are making all the excuses for him instead of Nadal himself. Even if Nadal were at full strength I think Djokovic would have won, seeing the way he played that first set almost flawlessly.  

Answer 3

When you are a fan of someone or even a team it hard to admit defeat.  So his fan are claiming he was tired sure.  As a Federer fan I can say the same thing but in the end Rafa got his racket handed to him in aces.

Answer 4

I'll admit that when you admit Federer got his *** handed to him 11 times this year, and not blame it on mono.

Answer 5

Yea he was tired all right...

Answer 6

Tired or not Djokovic would have beaten Nadal on this court.  I think once Nadal's streak starts to waiver and it happens to all top players they will be looking for answers.

Answer 7

But kicked? more like DJOKOVIC got HIS butkicked, hmm... lets look back, counting up all the times nadal and djokovic played against each other... nadal won three of the five.  LOL, now thats what I call butt kicked, not some one time win.
