Nadal has still big problems with his serve because of his back injury

It’s a tricky road ahead for Rafa Nadal that is missing what is probably the most important shot of the game: the serve.

Rafa is still not 100% with his back to struggle to serve. The Spaniard gets very tight especially during the important moments to often commit lots of double faults (8 during the last match against Stepanek).

Rafa: I feel better, but I struggle with my serve…

“I am feeling better. I have better feeling than what I had in Rio, and that’s the most important thing,” said Rafa. “I have day off tomorrow. I can practice a little bit the serve. I can try to serve again the normal way. I was serving very well before what happened in the back.”

… the rest is fine

Luckily Nadal doesn’t feel that the rest of his game is affected “Just try to find the game, the rhythm with my serve, because to play from the baseline is not bothering me nothing. I am not feeling the back bad now, and the only movement that I feel the back was on the serve.”
