Nadal is still scheduled to play in the Americas despite injury

Rafael Nadal had a terrible disappointment from his back injury that has prevented him to compete (fully fit) in the Australian Open final.

However, the King of Clay released a statement that he still expects to play in Buenos Aires, Rio de Janeiro, Indian Wells and Miami in the next few weeks.

Rafa will have another check-up this coming Monday before flying to Argentina where he should play the 2nd week of February.

Now Rafa is taking some anti-inflammatory and he is doing some physical therapy.
