We Are Treated Like Criminals Says World No.1 Rafael Nadal |

Rafael Nadal

The world number no.1 Rafael Nadal is not happy with the way new dope testing regime.

As per WADA regulations players ranked in the top 50 must nominate one hour daily when they will be available for testing. Players like Nadal, Andy Murray and Gilles Simon have all claimed that it is harassment of tennis players.

Nadal said "They make you feel like a criminal," Nadal said. "Not even my mother knows where I am every day. It is very difficult to know where you are going to be tomorrow especially in a sport like tennis."

Nadal further added "Sure we want to be an Olympic sport, but I think we don't want to pay a price like this for an Olympic sport," "I am the first one who wants a fair competition, completely clean competition for everybody but the forms can be totally different."

Briton Murray hoped the testing could be simplified. "I just wish that the out-of-competition testing was done in the off-season and then they just test us at every single tournament," he said.

"Then that's fine, we could get tested 30 times a year. I think that's enough to know whether someone's trying to cheat or not."

If a player misses three tests in 18 months they could face a two-year ban.

Murray and Simon felt tennis could not be compared with other sports as it involved constant travel.

"You have to fill in a three-month form, but if you are knocked out in a tournament and decide to travel the next day, you have to change it immediately," said Simon.

"Yeah I had many chances. I missed them and they cost me dearly."

Federer also produced a poor service game, making just 52 percent of his first serves, and admitted it was a key factor in the game.

"I won a set against Rafa serving, what, 30 percent first serves?"

"I got a great second serve very reliable normally I hit some stupid double faults, but that's going to happen in a five set match usually.
