That pic almost makes it look like Rafa is crying or something but he's just wiping his brow. He did not look like he was in too much pain when they were working on his knee but then again, he has had it worked on so many times. I hope he heals well and quickly. I have the sense though (as do many of us) that this is not simply a quick fix issue. Less time on hard courts, more rest, wiser scheduling.....
Oh Andy! :(
Oh, Andy. Oh, Rafa. Oh, shit.
Sigh.
Too many walking wounded players out there. Look at all the retirements, and injuries, and taped players. I wonder how many more years we gonna go before something gets done about the tours and length of the tennis season. Sigh again.,
