Oh really? Whistle

He gets a lot of flak out there sadly. I hate that. You shouldn't jeer any player. Not even scummy people like Nalbandian.



And what they were doing to Becker at the USO was sick. They were booing him when he was being nice to Agassi. Frown

Nadal is like... the most hated tennis player in France. Rolling Eyes    And rightly so, even though I don't appreciate the jeering.

Based on what? He gets jeered everytime? NO!!
Playing certain people maybe, but every player will get that ... that was a pretty outlandish comment to make Arka Rolling Eyes

Although it is not known why, Rafael Nadal has met considerable hostility from fans during his matches at the French Open. He is often booed throughout and even after the match, especially when playing against and beating French players such as Mathieu or Gasquet. Commentators on French TV, such as Guy Forget on France 2, openly say they want him to lose during matches, claiming that "we don't need construction worker arms in tennis," referring to his sleeveless shirts. After the 2006 French Open final against Federer, Nadal started by praising Federer in his speech. The translator mistranslated the speech, leading the public to think he was praising himself. Nadal was thus booed and whistled at throughout the speech.

obviously when he plays the frenchmen in France....but not always against Fed

Andy got a lot of stick when he played Roddick in cincy, but that was inevitable!

but u cant say that Nadal is the most hated player in France, because of reactions ONLY when he is playing against frenchmen!!

the fact is that many people love Nadal, in his fansite there is a french speaking part of the site for the french people...as it was needed

he is a humble, hard-working young guy....but you wont leave him alone Rolling Eyes

I really don't think that being the most hated tennis player has anything to do with being hated throughout France. They hate him more than other players, as simple as that.


And it's not that others get booed when playing and winning against Frenchmen. no Andy didn't get booed when he was winning against Monfils. And Monfils is a bigger darling of the crowd that Mathieu is.



And that too when Nadal has connections with French tennis. They got him to play in Tarbes and encourage everyone there.


I really can't do anything if they hate Nadal in France. I didn't take my 'I hate Nadal' campaign to France, I swear. Smile

Arka, who are you to judge the opinion of an entire nation against a player who we all know you to dislike?

Nope.  Because no one gets heavily booed out there.
