Best singles players, Nadal and Djokovic could not beat even low ranking Canadian doubles players at Rogers Cup. Remember?

Rafa's point at 1:19 is simply .... A NADAL!!!

Brilliant!!!

5:52 Are you kidding me! Rafaaaa

[AznSL]

Lopez didn't shake the chairman's hand...

@gabe228 marc is an excellent doubles player. the winning ability works both ways. without marc, rafael will not be able to win the doubles tournament either. someone needs to set it up and the other needs to finish. perhaps he is not great in a singles tournament but why would that matter in a doubles tournament? would you say the same for the bryan brothers? or nestor/zimonjic?

[YoSoyZuri]

I always say the same about everyone, not just about my favorite, Nadal. It's not about winning a match or a tournament. A player's status is won through the constancy of his or her achievements. I have respect for these amassing double players Nestor/Simonjic. If they're the best doubles team in the world it's because of their record and excellence. I would not say that Nadal/Lopez are a better team but they make an excellent team and they are very capable- as we have seen!!

@cj397 that doesn't mean shit lol. his role was to finish some shots at the net, the guy is pure fail without nadal.

@gabe228 marc won more points..

Another example, John McEnroe at the doubles circuit.

Just think about it. 2 good singles players CAN win a doubles Slam but a good doubles player ha NO CHANCE to even go deep in a singles tournament.

Of course they won't start winning straight away. What I meant was, give, say, Federer/Nadal at the top of their game a couple of weeks of training and they go unbeatable for a whole season. Look what the Williams sisters are doing in the doubles circuit. Almost each time they show up they win the trophy.

[89Pleasek]

And you give me 1 example in your defence? The fact that they're Nadal and Djokovic doesn't mean that they ought to every single doubles match they play. But surely they can beat any pair (just as much as lose to any other).

@89Pleasek Not only is that not true, Marc Lopez is a doubles expert. I do agree that the singles players are better athletes, but they can not just switch overnight and become the best doubles players, it takes different training for that.
