Lady TT, that's an interesting article regarding Nadal's assistant coach Roig.

Most interesting to me were his words:

"When it was time to compete, Rafael didn't do as he had done in the past 10 years. I think it is normal for that to happen considering how long Rafael has been on the top of his game. "  

So what does that mean?  What didn't he do?

But anyway, it looks like Roig hopes these times have passed.

rafa tennis academy is now open.



this man wants out of the sport.



that is what I am seeing until I see a significant improvement in his fitness.


he is horribly unfit now and greatly risks a career ending injury if he doesn't start putting in the work on the fitness front.


tony keeps saying that the problem is lack of consistency but we know that. it is not rocket science.


he was once the greatest baseliner on the planet who owned winning records against all of the top 30 players.


his ground game is now about 20% of what it used to be.


he has a mountain to climb now and quite frankly this mountain keeps getting taller and taller.


do not expect any miracles in montreal and cincy. heat and humidity is also quite significant.


I am expecting early losses in both events and I would take that.

at least he escapes without any injuries.


all I am hoping for is a healthy, fit, driven rafa for 2016.

That has been evident since the 2015 season began. He's not into it. I think he's ready to begin life after tennis. He seems very excited about his foundation, probably wants to get married and have children, and ride off in the sunset.

That's what I see.
