Rafa's Facebook entry on today's news ...
"My knee is much better and the rehabilitation process has gone well as predicted by the doctors, but this virus didn’t allow me to practice this past week and therefore I am sorry to announce that I will not play in Doha and the Australian Open, as we had initially scheduled."
"As my team and doctors say, the safest thing to do is to do things well and this virus has delayed my plans of playing these weeks. I will have to wait until the Acapulco tournament to compete again although I could consider to play before at any other ATP event."
:wail: :-((
ReplyDeletewell.....I don't know what to say really, it just goes from bad to worse *sniff* *sob*
ReplyDeleteOfficially sick to *my* stomach now...
ReplyDeleteI can't believe some of the things people are saying....even on Rafa's own FB page on his post, spiteful, nasty comments. Really there are some truly awful people out there, happy to gloat over another's misfortune, SO PATHETIC
ReplyDeleteThe smearing and bile continues and will just get worse and worse as January approaches. I'm losing the will ...
DeletePlease don't lose the will - goodness prevails and Rafa is a very kind and good person. Talk is cheap and transparent. Keep the faith.
DeleteI second that!
DeleteWoofie, please look at Tennis Now website. They have a wonderful story entitled, Nadal's Nurturing Nature Will Enable His Revival.
DeleteIt is wonderfully written and very uplifting. Maybe you can link it -- I don't know how to do this. Everyone will love reading it and everyone will feel better. Keep the faith.
