To be fair, Nadal pretty much removed all the "curses" he had when he won AO down two sets to love down AND winning RG after not winning any Clay titles beforehand.You’re going to jinx all of this!

No joke: I am going away the first week of the US Open. See? I’m doing what I can for the cause.
Can you please do it on the 2nd week of the US Open?
To be fair, I did not watch any RG matches until the final, so I have contributed to the cause as well.

Are you saying if he wins the calendar slam? I think he will retire when he feels he can no longer win GSs

I disagree. He has always said that, being the first of all of his cousins, Rafa always loved being around all the baby cousins.Rafa doesn’t know babies

Forget about tennis for the minute as Rafa has more important things going on after day 1 he is tied for fourth in the Balearic Golf Championships, at 4 over.

Gets him in emotional touch with the grass.
Well, if he can finish 5th in a golf tournament, he ought to be able to finish first at Wimbledon. Says I.

Rafa already practicing at Aorangi Park now with Grigor Dimitrov.
Just a reminder when Moya joined Rafa's team, it was made clear that he'd not travel to all tournaments, and they'd combine the tasks with Roig,( now Marc Lopez has joined the coaching team as well). In particular, one of the things they agreed about is that he'd not go to Wimbledon to be able to spend time with his family.
Roig and Lopez are the coaching team at Wimbledon.

It's strange, couldn't Moya go to Wimbledon then take time off after. It's like 8 weeks from Wimbledon ending until USO starting, it's not possible to take time of then
Hope Toni will also be able to help Rafa during the tournament.

Moyà’s non attendance at Wimbledon since he took over as coach is ridiculous. I thought that Rafa missing the last two Wimbledon’s might cure him of this. Rafa’s running out of track. Spending time with his family is a poor excuse, given how much down time he gets. It’s not as if Wimbledon is played Down Under…
