I can't disagree with you general hercules.
I'm wondering if Rafa is going to start running around the backhand more if he can't get good depth on it?
That might be a short term fix until he can get out there on the practice courts, but it does leave him open to the angled cross court shot to his forehand wing, especially if he is somewhat sluggish and/or the ball is moving through the court quicker.

lots of interesting dynamics at play general.
if the blister gets worse then he might be forced to hit more backhands.
dimitrov has nothing to lose. he has broken new ground and is now playing with house money. I thin k he is going to go for it today.
nadal has to weather the storm and then try to impose his own game on dimi.
