Roger has been always worried about Rafa. Usually he is concerned by his cross court forehand. Now he is worried about his prolonged absence.
“I was going to write him and check on him, because I can’t believe he’s been out that long,” Federer said
“I thought the Olympics, okay, that’s fine. That’s a personal choice,” added Federer, “I thought for sure we would see him in Toronto, but now he missed Toronto and Cincinnati. It’s very surprising, because it was nothing that we heard of prior to the injury. He played so well on clay, and then actually seemed fine at Wimbledon. He had more time by losing earlier at Wimbledon.”
Federer said that for him it is a “big surprise, these two pullouts. I’m sad for him. I hope he’ll be back for the Open.”
In the mean time… well Rafa is taking advantage of his condition to enjoy life in Mallorca.
Can’t wait to see Rafa back to business!!!
