Nadalites – Rafa Nadal Talk

[Kieran]

Rafa is currently on vacation with his friends in Fermentera ( on his boat, surprise) whizzing around the water on jet skis.

Tell him we said hello, but please, no boat related injuries, we’ve had enough!

Agree, I will personally go to Mallorca and give him my thoughts on behalf of the rest of the Rafa fans...

Hmm I will try, though if my TF credit card is cancelled, I might have to be an Asylum Seeker in a different country

Rafa having fun in a concert in Ibiza, good for him!

There are many, many activities a person with an abdomen tear can do, short of attempting at full body stretch to hit 100+ mph serves.

Nadal having fun out there means he is confident that he should able to play Canada and US Open.

To be fair also, he hasn’t have a true vacation since winning Acapulco.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa is back practicing his holiday is over, he is practicing from the baseline, not practicing serves as yet. ( viewed him practicing on video via twitter).
Rogers Cup TD Eugene Lapierre ,
" He really wants to come to Montreal and his hotel rooms are already booked.He will train with our tournament balls".

Rafael Nadal really loves his Golf! He will probably play the LIV Tour once he officially retires from Tennis.

I have to agree with you , I mean he plays off 5, which is really impressive for someone that plays golf tournaments only when he is not playing tennis tournaments., that allow him to do so.

Oh my God, that boy is soooo cute, I can imagine in 3 or 4 more years Rafa with his son or daughter

I read somewhere recently that he keeps revisiting the R word because for the frequently nagging injuries. I'm hopeful that the US Open and a healthy baby boy may delay that for at least another year or so. #25 is the number I think he needs before he says adios. IMO.

[the AntiPusher]

He can win the US Open but the abdominal strain muscle is Always concerning! How's can Rafa let loose and rip into a serve. Here's my two cents worth. The 4 serves , the kick, the spin, the slice and the flat serve, all which Rafa can hit very good but not enough for him to win free points with a jaded stomach. The serves that are the hardest is the flat ( lowest margin probability) and the kick because it has to hit and move away from the body. These are the serves that win the free points. However, the kick serve required the most strain on the abdominal and lower oblique muscle. If Rafa can't win free points on his serves, he will have to grind 90 percent of his points to win a match which takes a toll on the body as well as the mind .The unknown is how stable is Rafa's stomach muscles..

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa who has been practicing, mostly from the baseline, volleys etc has started practicing his serve today, good news.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa Nadal will do an exhibition tour in Latin America ( same period of the Davis Cup finals) where he will face Del Potro November 23, in Buenos Aires, and Tabilo on November 25, in Chile. It would be Del Potro's farewell match.

 

[Andy22]

Looking forward to Nadal playing at the Canadian open hopefully he get good match time for the US Open.

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Nadal has withdrawn from Montreal because the abs is acting up a little bit again.

Great news it means Nadal not rushing his Comeback this time and he still has the chance to play Cincinnati.
