Those dirty knees ...

This is a vid clip of Wednesday's practice, where Rafa is working on his serve and his knee is clearly taped up.

I really don't want to fan the flames of making more of this, but I will [google translate] report on what he had to say about it along with other stuff ...

"I have yet discomfort in the knee, in the coming weeks I'll review it to recover well. There is no time to stop, will train with caution and next week I'll get a good look to see what to do with the knee."

"The season has been pretty good, but obviously not perfect. But in a season if you win the Davis, Roland Garros, Monte Carlo, Barcelona and you end up in two Grand Slams again, it is very good. It is clear that there has been not so good things, things to improve, it's time to assess what they have done well not to try to improve."
