Can't agree with you more generals hercules and backspin. But he's training hard in Mallorca at the moment, so let's hope any back problems he had are gone. I still don't like that even in training the Spaniard isn't practicing his backhand, but is hitting his forehand near the backhand tram lines. This is practice. What the hell is Toni doing out there? Rafa should be hitting backhands, backhands, backhands, in practice if he is that scared of them. It is exactly what is opening up the court for players with the ability to hit the cross court backhand wide to Nadal's forehand wing like Djokovic and Wawrinka. I might have to start using General Hercules "blundering buffoon" phrase soon. Just look at this generals:
Rafa training in Manacor - April 5th


Respectfully,
masterclass
Nothing technical to add here, but what the heck is that ball doing placed where it is? Doesn't he know about Haas and how many freak accidents he's had practicing?
Oh Rafa!
