Isn't this odd? Rafa doesn't want to talk about the Olympics? He's usually gung-ho where the Olympics are concerned. That's weird. I wonder if he's planning on participating.

Our champ won gold in the Beijing Olympics in 2008 but missed the London Olympics with an injury. Despite being asked about it repeatedly, he’s staying away from talking about the Rio Olympics that open in six months.
“The Olympics is a very important event, a very special one, and I’m going to try my best when the Olympics arrive,” Rafa said. “But for now I’m playing the ATP tournament in Rio. That’s the most important thing for me.”
we will hang on to just a little bit of hope.
there is about 2% chance that he will wake up one morning and decide to win again.
even then it will take all of this year to get ready for 2017.
2017 is his last window. he has to take it if he wants to sail into the sunset with his 10th RG.
