I know. But did you know that he is wearing some tape on his wrist? They said he had it on at Monte Carlo, but he got a shot and it felt better. He didn't wear it at Barcelona, but now the tape is back on. I tell you, always something. Hopefully he'll get another shot and it'll be alright, but it's something to look for tomorrow.

injuries in 6 of last 8 years.


serious dedication to fitness and hard work in the training room would have prevented a lot of those injuries and he would be sitting on 16-17 slams.



wrist injury can end your career fast.

he needs to lose this match and get the hell out of there. it is time to get that wrist well and also go work hard on his game.

his current fitness and his current game is no match for djokovic or andy.

and he risks injury on top of that.

I checked today and I could see the taping underneath the wrist bands. Who knows why or how the wrist injury happened. I don't think his fitness is off that much. That match with Andy was winnable to me. Rafa made four errors in the last game after he broke Andy. And Novak's time is just about up. He does need to lose and get the heck out of Dodge though, it may be time for another shot, and the more time he gets to prepare for RG, the better. I see a lot of improvement in Rafa's game. To me, it all boils down to motivation. I seriously think he was contemplating retiring last year and didn't seem to care. Last year was one of the happiest he's been since he came on tour. Something changed his mind and he has re-gained motivation. I think Rafa will be just fine.
