If his doctors cleared him to play, I can't help but go with that. He has been struck with injury all year long. He can't take the whole year off. It didn't look to me like he was going all out, so no harm, no foul.
I thought he should take the rest of the year off, but he didn't. He makes his own decisions so I just have to deal with it. I think many of his fans want him to make history, and it would be nice, but IMO not necessary. At the end of the day, you have to be satisfied with yourself. I support Rafa no matter what he does for all of the joy and pleasure he's given me.
Everything happens for a reason. I live by that and take all things in stride.
