Rafael Nadal has a wrist injury that could very well derail his chances at winning the 2014 U.S. Open. This is hardly surprising, considering that injuries have been Nadal’s traveling companion through his decade of spectacular tennis.

Almost no part of his body has not been assaulted: right elbow, left-ankle stress fracture, tarsal scaphoid bone in left foot, requiring constant shoe adjustments and training precautions, shoulder, tendonitis in both knees, perpetually, back pains and right wrist.

I saw this earlier.

poor fellow. our warrior has been injured off and on since he was 16.



and look at all he has achieved.

can you imagine what his tennis records would have been like had there been no injuries.


that is why he is the ultimate gladiator of tennis.


he lets nothing stop him.

It's mind-boggling to think of what he could have achieved. That's part of Rafa's mystique, his will to remain positive in the face of such odds.

I seriously think he would have broken the record easily if it hadn't been for these ill-timed injuries.
