Nadal and his fixation

[Gringotts Bank]

Before every serve or return of serve, fingers up his aR$e, then to his nose, then his sweat band.

Adding weight to the 'anal fixation' diagnosis, watch him line up his bottles before a game, so that they are "just so". He spends quite a deal of time on it!

Now, we all have our issues, but I wish he could just do away with this one habit, for his fans' sake.

yeah his very superstitious...i remember Pete Sampras had his tongue wagging thing going each time when recieving serve.

here is Nadals sequence.

1.butt scractch.
2.sniff's his nose.
3.wipes both ears.
4.serves.

hey it works right his number one at the moment.

Can't Raffa afford decent underwear?

Bonds could sign him up and do an ad with "before" and "after" wearing bonds.

Anyway, I hope Roger Federer whips Nadal's ar*e.

Yes, Rafa’s ritual looks like good example of obsessive compulsive disorder.
(Suppose they could make short film and incorporate it while helping other sufferers.)

Djokovich bounces ball 8 to 12 times before every serve.

Scharapova mourns every time she hits ball.

So many players mourn, it is better to watch with sound switched off.

lol....I bet half you lot on here have far worse things, we jst scnant shifeee the,m...sorry, hard trying to stick my finger up my bum and type. He's not sticking his finger right up the hole by the way, knuckle deep or anything. His undies probly ride up running around doing the shots he does so he resets them every serve, hardly "picking his aR$e and sniffing it." : plus hey, I'd be willing to pick my ar$e and sniff it to be number 1 with 10 bazillion dollars

Still better than that other retard woman who is still moaning when the ball bounces on her opponents side. I get tired just watching and listening to that! She doesn't even do it everytime, amazing she doesn't get told to shut up.

Drives me nuts and makes watching him play a pain...just play tennis dude.

pissing myself reading this...I have never tuned into the butt/nose/ears serve thing so looking fwd to his next match
And the mourning women..so tragic/bizarre/banchee

I would say that is more of a routine to mentally prepare himself for the next point. Not much different from picking the strings on your racquet and jogging on the spot really.

Don't you mean "moan"? They would hardly be mourning, especially if they win!
