Don't know how he does it, he'll probably look totally fresh in the next match too

it bothers me when a player's conditioning is the reason for victory. ferrer bout to get wiped off the court in the next round

it bothers me when a player's conditioning is the reason for victory.

Why? It's not a valid aspect of training and the resulting performance?

 

[nomoreneveragain]

These players from Spain all are on Roids

it is, but there is no reason for someone else to be less conditioned...that is the point im trying to make. if janko was as conditioned as ferrer he would have won the match, he is a more skilled and more powerful player than ferrer.

Sure there is. Their training wasn't up to par with that of their opponent's.

You can't just pick and choose which facets of a player's game should determine the outcome.

All or nothing.

no, that is a radical position.

in tennis, there are certain facets of a game that creates mismatches and advantages. you must pick and choose.

there is no reason for his conditioning to not be up to par. period.

And when determining "who should win" you have to compare everything. You can't be selective. That makes zero sense.



If his physical condition wasn't up to par with his opponent's it means he had inadequate training, or, his opponent simply had superior training. It's not some cut-and-dry thing where you can say "all players must be equal in terms of how they prepare for a match by default."

It doesn't work that way. All these things are part of the game.
