rafa says his back issues are flaring up again.
his average serve speed today was 103 MPH. some 2nd serves were at 81 MPH.
he failed to get off the hard courts when he absolutely had to. there was no need to linger around for 10 days at indian wells and then another 10 days at Miami masters.
he should have gone home to rest, relax, and train on the soft clay. and also work on strengthening the back.
