Is Nadal playing in Cincinnati? Have you heard anything?

He is officially, but I'd be amazed if he didn't pull out. It would be insane for him to play IMO.

Ha ha ha. How many times have we doubted Nadal's stubbornness. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he did. But it's Cincinnati, so if he plays I'm going.

 

[Moxie]

Well, I have him winning, in my draw, though I'd be perfectly pleased if he pulled out.

Same here, Moxie. The only reason I wouldn't mind if he played is for my own selfish reasons. But, I'll try to put him first and wish him some rest.

This tournament is tough to predict, especially for the ones that played in Rio. There has to be some jet lag involved.

Hope Rafa won't play in Cincy, please!

That would be ideal. I'm just preparing myself for the worst. That is one stubborn man.

I think so too, Carol. It was only a matter of time before he hit the wall after two and a half months of inactivity. This is what Rafa said, which makes sense.

"With more rest the wrist will not go better. The wrist needs to adapt again to the game. Adapt to hit the ball." (TennisInsideOut)"

The wrist has to be strengthened to play ATP Tour level. I don't know about you, but this is what I expected, one win at the most, and that was being optimistic.

I was expecting the same, he couldn't go too far in those conditions, he never had to play in Cincy

I'm not sure how there could've been any other outcome; all factors considered.
