This story is gaining attention so I'll give my 2p worth.
A) Every player is entitled to their opinion
B) Every player is entitled to manage their own schedule
C) Every player is entitled to play their style of tennis
What players are not allowed to do, in my opinion is grab money with one hand for meaningless exhibitions, play a style of tennis that means extra time on court due to extended points and waste time during those points then complain because someone takes care of themselves.
Sorry but Rafa is guilty of all three. If the courts enabled more S&V injuries would be less, play faster therefore less chance of burnout.

Rafael Nadal has taken a swipe at long-time rival Roger Federer for failing to back him and other players who are challenging the current tennis calendar.
Nadal has been joined by a number of other players, including Andy Murray, in voicing concerns over the demanding schedule. There are worries the present itinerary is leaving players drained and increasing the risk of injury - as was highlighted at last year's US Open, where a host of players abandoned matches due to fitness concerns.
At Flushing Meadows Federer said there were "a whole lot of issues to be sorted out" with the Grand Slams and the International Tennis Federation, but the 16-time grand slam champion, who is president of the ATP Player Council, has not aired his views in the time since.
Speaking ahead of the Australian Open, Nadal told a press conference he is unhappy the Swiss maestro has not used his status within the game to help his colleagues in pushing for changes. He said: "I disagree with him.
"His [position] is easy: do not say anything, all positive, I am a 'gentleman', others get burned. We each have our opinion and maybe he likes the circuit. Me too, I like it, and I think it's better than most sports. That does not mean you cannot be better and that you should change things that are bad.
"I say a lot of good things about tennis, because thanks to this sport I have had experiences in my life I could never have dreamed of, but to finish your career with pain in all areas of your body is not positive.
"He finishes his career as fresh as a daisy because he is physically privileged, but neither Murray nor [Novak] Djokovic and I are fresh as a daisy."

Rafa & Roger - The Rivalry
© Getty ImagesRafael Nadal and Roger Federer have played each other 22 times.It is the scene where it all began, when, in 2005, Federer first came across the player that would thwart him on 14 occasions, including in five major finals. It is a rivalry that has gone from an annoyance to a delight for the Swiss, who confessed he did not always enjoy having a major challenger to his dominance.
“I think in the beginning, early on in my career when I became the World No. 1, I didn't really have that rival, and I was very happy about it,” said Federer. “I was just able to win, win, win, and dominate. That was quite incredible.

“So in the beginning I guess I struggled to embrace the rivalry I had with Rafa. Only later on I was able to say this is actually quite cool. Sleeveless, pirate pants, you name it, long hair, lefty, spins, more with the flat shots and so forth and double-handed against one-handed [backhand], lefty against righty. I think it all kind of made sense, and I was able to embrace it then."
He continued, “I knew he was good [when we first played in Miami], but he surprised me to some degree that he was so consistent, so good on hard courts already so early. That really showed me he was probably going to become a World No. 1, Grand Slam champion; just a really special Spaniard who could not only play on clay but other surfaces as well. He clearly lived up to all the expectations. From then on it went; the rest we know.”
Indeed we do. The pair has gone on to play each other on 22 occasions, including in seven Grand Slam finals. They met most recently in the title match at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals, which Federer won in three sets. From Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne Park to Centre Court at the All England Lawn Tennis Club, it is the big stages that they play on for the grandest prizes in tennis that makes the rivalry so special for both of them.
“It's special always to play against him and have these matches, for sure very important matches for both of us in our careers,” said Nadal. “So that makes our careers probably more special for both of us.

“When I go on court against him I feel it's a really special match, especially because we play always really important matches. That makes the rivalry very, very special. I don't know if rivals in the rest of the history of tennis played a lot of the matches, as many matches as we played. I don't know how many matches McEnroe/Borg or Sampras/Agassi played, but we played a lot a lot times. So that makes the match really special always.”
Added Federer, “My No. 1 rival to me it seems is Rafa. Doesn't matter how many more times I'm going to be playing all the other guys. At the moment, we have that history and nobody can take it away from us.
“We've played in so many big finals against each other and were able to play over four or five tough sets and have always shown a lot respect towards each other. So clearly those are the matches I'm really looking forward to and hoping to play my best tennis.

“I think we really get up for these kinds of matches against each other because we know the world is watching. We always have these incredible points and incredible matches against each other. The excitement is huge walking into the stadium. Those things make you nervous. So it's a good thing when that happens

Nadal & Federer dominance is over
Courtesy: ATP
World No. 1 Rafael Nadal has declared that the dominance he and Roger Federer once shared at the Grand Slams is now a thing of the past. Furthermore, despite contributing nine trophies to their joint haul of 21 major titles since 2005 Roland Garros, the Spaniard insisted that it was Federer who was truly on top.
Speaking to Spanish media, the Mallorcan commented, “In 2005, 2006 and 2007, perhaps you could say there was a bit of a monopoly, but it was down to Federer. I was also there, but a little less. For sure I think this monopoly ended some time ago. There are many players ready to challenge now.”
Before Federer’s Dubai runner-up points are calculated, Nadal has a healthy 4425 point lead at the top of the South African Airways 2011 ATP Rankings after compiling astonishing results in 2010, including winning Roland Garros, Wimbledon and the US Open. However, the left-hander scoffed at the suggestion that the rankings race was run between himself and his Swiss rival, not to mention the other challengers hot on their heels.
“Two years ago they said Federer was finished, and by the end of the year he had finished No. 1, having won two Grand Slam titles and played all four major finals,” said Nadal. “You have to have a little bit of patience and see how things are going to work out. By that, I don’t mean that there won’t be a change because the other two – Djokovic and Murray – are very good. And there’s not just those two, there’s others besides.
“I’ve never seen so many new talents,” he added. “Of course there is [Milos] Raonic, the Canadian, who has started the year very well, and there is [Grigor] Dimitrov. They are the two youngsters who have improved the most.
“I can’t say that Murray and Djokovic are youngsters who have broken through on the tour because they’ve been No. 3 and 4 for three years now. And, at the end of the day, I’m only a year older than them!”
After an enforced spell on the sidelines due to a left adductor tear suffered in his quarter-final exit at the Australian Open, Nadal is due back in action on Davis Cup duty for Spain against Belgium next weekend. Following that, the 24 year old will contest the first two ATP World Tour Masters 1000 tournaments of the season in Indian Wells and Miami.
Although Nadal is a two-time former champion at the BNP Paribas Open, the Sony Ericsson Open continues to elude the Spaniard after runner-up finishes in 2005 (l. to Federer) and 2008 (l. to Davydenko).
“It’s not something I’m particularly focusing on,” insisted Nadal. “What matters to me is each day, each tournament. I haven’t won there [in Miami], but I’ve been in the final twice and have also done well in Indian Wells. They are both as important as each other.
“They are the first Masters 1000s of the season and doing well there gives you a lift because they are the first tournaments that really count a lot after the Australian Open. It’s a very important part of the season.”

Rafael Nadal rises to the challenge of Federer
Taken the The Times.
It has become something of a truism to say that progress emerges from conflict. In The Fruits of War, Michael White shows how everything from encryption to the internet was born out of military rivalry. “Almost all major technological developments can be traced back to times of war . . . the best of humanity often flows from the worst,” he writes.
In his book Rivals, White takes the point even farther, examining the lives of some of the world’s greatest scientists, such as Darwin, Newton and Edison. He shows that these remarkable men were motivated not by the greater good of humanity nor even by the pure love of science, but by grittier and altogether more primal instincts.
Alexander Graham Bell worked day and night to invent the telephone largely because he was in competition with Elisha Gray, whom he beat to the patent office by a matter of hours. Crick and Watson followed a similar work ethic, spurred by the knowledge that rival teams were on the verge of cracking the structure of DNA. Joseph Priestley and Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier battled around the clock to discover the elegant secrets of chemistry.
The idea of beauty and truth emerging from intense, almost demented rivalry seems particularly pertinent whenever a grand-slam tennis tournament comes around in the calendar. Roger Federer was already a joy to watch while he was dominating the sport like a benign dictator, a kind of latter-day philosopher king with sweatbands. But when Rafael Nadal, his first credible rival, came into view, everything changed.
The Spaniard made his first mark on the clay of Roland Garros, of course, but over time he dared to dispute Federer’s supremacy on hard courts, indoor courts and even grass. He chased and snarled, and eventually made the great man cry. The consequence has been one of the most thrilling rivalries in sport, each man coaxing the other towards ever more thrilling evocations of greatness.
It is not just the on-court collisions that have revealed the fruits of this rivalry, although the finals at Wimbledon in 2007 and 2008, and in Australia in 2009, rank among the most revelatory tennis matches to have been played. It is also the duel beyond the duel as both men grapple with new techniques and strategies in the quest to exploit the other’s weaknesses.
Federer has not only constructed a subtly different second serve, which has created a conundrum for Nadal’s double-hander, but has also modified his backhand in an attempt to nullify the steep bounce of Nadal’s cross-court forehand. The Swiss has also learnt the art of greater disguise on his drop shot, although Nadal’s agility is often equal to it. Nadal has responded with enhanced power, greater technical variety and an even more audacious inside-out forehand, if such a thing is possible.
What new tactical innovations in Australia, assuming they meet in the final?
Many rivalries are constructed upon personal enmity, but a defining feature of the Federer-Nadal confrontation is that it has always been conducted in the context of camaraderie and, to use an old-fashioned word, honour. You only have to witness the two men talking and joshing to see that they share not only respect, but a deep friendship, too. When promoting their Match for Africa last year, they hugged and giggled as they attempted to get through the script.
Nadal is conspicuous for his modesty and civility. In every interview and magazine profile, a constant truth emerges of a young man with values and grounding. He is rarely, if ever, impolite to opponents or umpires, even during the white heat of competition. His only vice, if we can call it that, is greed. He has won the past three grand slams, but his appetite for a fourth in succession has not been dimmed. In this instance, perhaps we might agree with Gordon Gekko: greed is good.

Rivalry with Rafa has forged stronger friendship - Federer
Ahead of the first grand slam tournament of the year, the Australian Open, defending champion Roger Federer has exclusively told CNN's Pedro Pinto that his rivalry with Rafael Nadal is only on the tennis court -- and the pair are good friends when the action stops.
"Some people might think that it's strange. Some other people think its great and it's actually really nice for the sport," Federer said.
"In the past, maybe there have been much tougher and harsher rivalries. People wouldn't talk to each other, they didn't like each other and they needed to hate each other to actually perform well against each other. But it doesn't need to be that way," he added.
Fierce competition with the Spaniard has not only made both of them better players, Federer says, but also forged a stronger bond between them.
At the end of last year, Nadal accepted the World No.2's invitation to play in the "Match for Africa" in Zurich for the Roger Federer Foundation which funds child development in Africa.
The Swiss won that battle, although Nadal evened things up when the two faced each other in Madrid.
And Federer has carried the good form he showed at the end of 2010 into the new year, already winning the Qatar Open in Doha for the third time in his career.
Federer and Nadal did not face each other in the gulf state, but their paths have crossed 22 times since 2004, with Nadal currently leading the head-to-head 14 victories to eight.
Federer is now turning his attention to the Australian Open in Melbourne, but admits to feeling a few nerves heading into the tournament.
"There's a bit of pressure being the defending champion, but I love going down to Australia; it's a wonderful place to play tennis.
"In the off season I practiced really well, so I feel very confident going into the tournament," Federer added.
Federer's resurgence in form has also given his critics food for thought, with some commentators believing that the 29-year-old's best days were firmly behind him.
"It isn't the first time that I have been written off. It happened when Rafa took the number one spot a couple of years ago," continued Federer.
"But I was able to snatch it back and then people were questioning Rafa when he went nine months without winning a tournament.
"It's disappointing that people have short memories. Even after everything you have done there are those who write you off so quickly.
"It's frustrating to say the least. You walk into press conferences and there is a negative tone in there, when really there is nothing to be negative about.
"Sometimes, I am beaten simply because my opponent has played better than me, but often that fact isn't respected which I don't think is fair."
In addition to his regular backroom team -- which includes the Swiss Davis captain Severin Luthi -- Federer will also draw on the experience of renowned coach Paul Annacone, who he recruited in August last year and has overseen a definite upsurge in Federer's performances.
Federer to link up with coach Annacone
"I just thought it would be nice to get someone else into my team who comes in with huge experience and comes from a different angle," he said.
So what has Federer learnt from Annacaone, a man who coached Pete Sampras for six years.
"He's obviously told me to play more aggressive, because I did have a tendency to start chipping the backhand return into play just getting the rally started.
"So we've been working on a few key little areas and they seemed to have worked..."

Roger Federer - Rafa's big brother?
Nice article that discusses the relationship between Rafa & Roger.
Apparently tennis star Roger Federer isn’t above picking up his buddies from the airport — or his biggest rival, either.
Rafael Nadal, the world’s top-ranked tennis player, flew in to Federer’s native Switzerland this week for an exhibition match, and Federer met his longtime rival on the airport runway.
The two hopped into Federer’s car and drove together to Zurich for the charity match, according to a Yahoo Sports report.
It’s stories like this that remind me how different tennis is from other sports. Or maybe it’s just Roger and Rafa who are different.
I mean, can you imagine Tiger Woods picking Phil Mickelson up at the airport and driving him to a charity tournament? If they ever tried it, Tiger’s SUV might end up hitting another fire hydrant.
But somehow — as fierce as their matches are on court — Nadal and Federer have always maintained a healthy respect for each other.
It’s come to seem almost like a big brother, little brother relationship — highlighted by Federer’s comment after their second exhibition match, which took place in Nadal’s native Spain.
Nadal said Federer was generous to play a charity match with him in Spain, and Federer responded that it’s wonderful Nadal supports charities “at such a young age.”
Nadal is less than five years younger than Federer.
The Swiss star has clearly taken a “big brother” role to Nadal. He sets the marks on-court for “little brother” to chase.
And off the court, the two share a friendship that’s rare — and refreshing — between major rivals.
But that off-court cordiality makes their on-court rivalry all the more interesting.
Just more proof that friendly rivalries don’t have to be boring ones.

Foundation match reports
Yesterday in Zurich, it was Roger Federer who defeated Rafael Nadal but today in Madrid it was a different story.
The world number 1 beat Federer 7-6 4-6 6-1 in Madrid during the exhibition tennis match called ‘Joining Forces for the benefit of Children’ to raise funds in favour of the Rafa Nadal Foundation.
The money they raised at the Caja Magica will go to help children with disabilities as well as those who come from disadvantaged communities.
“To me, today is a very special day. I am lucky enough to be able to do what I love to do which is to play tennis, but at the same time, through my Foundation, I get the opportunity to help hundreds of kids who are not as lucky.”. Said Nadal before the match.
“I want to thank Roger, the people who have come out to see us, and our sponsors for allowing us to make this project a reality,” said the Spaniard.
“I want to thank David Bisbal for his help and for joining us in such a special day. I’m sure the crowd will really enjoy his music,” he added.
After the match,Nadal and Federer will attend the ‘GalerÃa de Cristales del Ayuntamiento de Madrid’ for a gala dinner which will close out a two-day charity. This social event will be attended by elite sport stars, fashion icons and other famous Spanish personalities who will be treated to a private concert by Julio Iglesias.
“I give my most sincere thanks to Julio for making such a long trip to be with us. I’ve always been a fan of his and for me and my Foundation, it is an honour to have one of the biggest international artists participating at this charity event,” continued the Spaniard.
Today, Nadal was in danger of seeing history repeat itself when he surrendered the second set, like he did yesterday, but he battled back with two breaks in the third.
After trading breaks to start the match, the set headed to a tie-break after Federer faced down three break points at 4-all and Nadal saved a set point in the next game. Rafa took the mini-break to go up 3-1 in the tie-break and sealed the set with an ace.
Federer secured the only service break in the fifth game of the second set, but Nadal quickly took control in the third, racing out to a 3-0 lead. He converted on double break point opportunity to go up 5-1.
Nadal sealed the win with a powerfully angled forehand crosscourt shot.
Nadal says Federer’s “gesture to play a game here to raise funds for needy people is incredibly generous.”
Federer responded by saying it is wonderful that Nadal supports charities “at such a young age.”
“I just can say thank you very much to Roger to come here to Madrid and support my Foundation today,” said Nadal. “I did yesterday, and both of us are very happy that we can finally have this event and raise a lot of money for these kids. I know with what we’re going to raise yesterday and today, it’s not going to be decisive for that, but it will be a help and if everybody is convinced that everybody can help, it’s going to be important to improve a little bit this world.”
