An unexpected visitor turned up to practice today, lovely Rafael. He arrived from Spain today, complete with special equipment to help with the rehabilitation of his knees. He actually caught Wimbledon by surprise as they weren't expecting him ...From the "Wimbledon As It Happens Posting"
17:05- Rafael Nadal turned up at practice today:In the glorious afternoon sunshine a sight for sore eyes emerged in the form of Rafael Nadal. As the Spaniard made his way to the Aorangi practice courts, staff shouted out ‘good luck Rafa’ to which he responded ‘thank you very much’ with his trademark humble smile.Next he set about his business – minus the knee supports - and began pummelling the life out of the balls. After a brief sit down, change of racket and laughter in his camp, Rafa switched ends and resumed play.
Let's keep those fingers crossed, eh?
