Nadalites – Rafa Nadal Talk

[Kieran]

No, Rafa always plays the tournament every year.Rafa already decided to play apparently after RG, also this has nothing to do with him playing Wimbledon or not.

It’s not a ranking event though, is it? Or is it?

I will check, there are a number of golf tournaments Rafa plays, some are exho, some are amateur events

Wait sorry, I’m stupid, he’s playing a golf tournament? Good for him! Definitely will get him used to the grass, if Ruud is to be believed..

Apparently Ruud has a golf twitter account and other players follow it

Wow that's:

Some might say, after 14 or 22 times of something being "unbelievable," it is, actually, believable.

Rafa is practicing now at the Mallorca Championships, on grass with Feli
It is open to the fans and the media.Rafa will hold his media conference at 1.45pm local time
Talking to the media Rafa will mainly discuss 2 items,
1. Update on foot / participation in Wimbledon
2. Mery's pregnancy, so that his private life, as always has been, out of the loop.

Rafa doesn’t know babies

I can see him changing diapers LOL

 

[rafanoy1992]

Not only I am happy that he will be a dad, I am happy he is ready to go to play Canada and US Open. That means the foot treatment is working for right now.

I cant LOL!

Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic both have signed up to play the Giorgi Armani Classic at the Hurlingham Club next week.
Casper Ruud, Carlos Alcaraz, FAA, plus Andy Murray possibly involved as well

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Pleasing aspect Rafa only had 2 radio frequency treatments, he said it took a couple of days for his foot to settle after the treatments.

Quick fun fact: If Rafael Nadal wins either Wimbledon OR US Open this year, he will have the same number of slams (9) in a six-year span as he did from 2005-2010.

Basically,

2005-2010 (19 to 24): 9 titles, 11 finals in Slams
2017-2022 (31 to 36): 9 titles, 11 finals in Slams

Talk about consistency and symmetry...
