Hi Guys, Rafa arrived in Australia Just for the Brisbane International Just before Christmas. This was his first tournament in nine months After a battling a gruelling knee injury. Injuries have been the story of Rafael’s Career. Despite he’s has continued to preserve. He has the heart of a lion. affectionally known as The Clay Court King. The Spaniard from the beautiful Island Mallorca off the coast of Spain, Has an incredible Fourteen French Open Titles! On Rolland Garros in Paris. A record I believe that never be touched. The Clay court Wizard has 22 Grand Slams overall! Unfortunately though injuries have really held him back in his Career. I believe one of reason for that he practices at 200 percent and over a 20 year career that is beyond difficult for the body I have seen him practice at at what is know as Tennis Paradise Indian Wells many times and also at the Us Open. That’s what I observed. I believe that’s a huge factor as. to why he has struggled some much with injuries throughout his career. Now lets fast forward to the beginning of this year in Brisbane. Nadal played hs first round against Dominic Theim. There was so hype inside the Pat Rafter the Arena was Electric The Atmosphere was incredle! Rafa won a very tough Nip and Tuck First Set 7-5 and blew Theim away in Second Set wining it easily 6-1! Game Set Match now it was on to 2nd Round for the Spanish Maestro! After successful return to the court after a nine month hiatus. The next day he faced off against hometown crowd favourite Australian Jason Kubler. Nadal Dispatched him easily 6-1 6-2 barely breaking a sweat. The Quarter Final for Rafa was beyond it was a true a war attrition. Against another Aussie Jordan Thompson. He plays a very gruelling he’s a Human Backboard In other words he’s brick wall he gets every back! I have seen play many many times at the Hollyburn Country Club . This is where where the Odlum Brown Vancouver Open takes place every August In West Vancouver The match was Epic an Battle Rafa ended up loosing in in three gruelling sets to Thompson 7-5 6-7 3-6. Rafael Got Injured sadly, He finished The Match because he is a warrior! He’s Been a warrior his whole career. So therefore Nadal pulled out of the Australian and Flew back to Spain with his team and got an MRI and the MRI revealed a Micro Tear on his Muscle Today he said in statement I am pulling out of the Tournament In Doha. Hopefully He will be ready for Indian Wells known as trust me I know I have been many times it is truly a magical Tournament Tennis Paradise in Palm Desert California and The Miami Masters the following week Affectionally known as the Sunshine Double!… I Rafa I really hope and pray can go out and finish your career on your terms own fingers and toes crossed for you Brother!
