The beginning of 2013 has been incredibly successful for Rafa. Ok, he didn’t play the Australian Open, but then he won 3 titles and he reached 1 final.
The title in Indian Wells was completely unexpected as Rafa went there just to test his knee without any target or ambition. Funny enough he won his 22nd 1000 ATP Master!
After Vina del Mar, Acapulco, Sao Paulo and Indian Wells, Rafa decided to take a break and do not play in Miami in order to rest his knee. Back to Mallorca, after resting for few days Rafa is back to practice on clay has he posted 1 day ago.
“Back to the practice on the clay court. A nice day!”… short phrase a lot of happines.
