I'm glad that you are out of ICU and I hope you'll be at home soon
The wrist issue is no due to the fitness and physically, it's just bad luck and I don't think it's so serious because if you read my comment on RG,Paris,France he has followed his Doctor advise before the problem could become worse (like Delpo). He needs immobilization and a treatment and he will

Thanks Carol.

Andy and Djokovic taking food from Rafa's dinner table.

It would have been so bloody easy for Rafa to rack up 3 more RG crowns.

He backed off from staring down history. Did not want to make necessary sacrifices.

And I hope that he will be the first man from UK to win the RG :dance2:

So do I, Carol. Andy has carried the weight of a nation on his shoulders for years. It's nice to see him continuing to improve and put himself in position to pad his resume. Rafa and Andy were my two favorites. I always want Rafa to win, but if he doesn't it's Andy all the way. They're the two nicest guys on the tour, to me.

Leaving the hospital today.

I am so happy to hear that. Hopefully you got one of those hot nurses to help you convalesce at home. Someone who knows what they're doing and won't take any guff from you.

Great day for Spain.

It's a shame Rafa walked away from going after the big titles otherwise we would have him as the singles champion also.

Players are doing it at any age. You just have to focus and be hungry.

You need supreme fitness which can be achieved by older players if they are willing to make some sacrifices.

Just look at the age of the doubles team that snatched the crown.

Also look at Serena. She is old and still chasing slams.

Rafa has a good life surrounded of his family, girlfriend and friends, you can see he is still has do keep his wrist immobilized but everything is for good and to avoid something worst
