"Rafa hasn´t played bcs he was not prepared for the Davis Cup this week,butI could also say if he had to play righ now,he wouldn´t be ready either.However he will play on the 25 th in an enhibition match and he will attend Shangai and Pekin as well".

"The way he hurt his wrist was during a training session,it was indeed a bad movement he did and at the beginning we did some xrays and we didn´t think it was going to take his long".

"I wouldn´t say it has been a bad year,he won RG,Madrid,he was on the final at Australia Open.Then he was playing well at the beginning of the American season he had this injury".

"Rafa and all the team still have the willingness of playing and the excitement,regardless all the injuries,we are still willing to participate in more tournaments,and even if he is number 2 or 3 or 22,it doesn´t matter.Rafa goes day by day and he also trains his mind daily".

"He has been in the circuit since 2003 or so,and back then journalists kept saying he was going to have a short career due to his injuries that started very early,abd he always answered he was going to be trying in all the tournaments until he couldn´t do it anymore...that was more than 11 years ago"

"Abt the Davis Cup it is a shame that Spain didn´t make it and we have a lot of good players but it was not enough".

 "For caution Rafa doesn't hit yet the 2 handed backhand at full power" "We will leave for Astana on 24 September"
 This week he can reach maximum power,he doesn't have anything on the wrist anymore.The exho serves as exercise ".

I honestly don't think he should play. I think he should take the rest of the year off, or play for practice purposes only. He definitely shouldn't go all out, especially if ranking doesn't matter. Then, he can start off the new year a little rusty, but at least healthy.
