Rafael Nadal has shocked the entire tennis world by pulling out for the American Summer and missing the US Open because of a wrist injury. Rafa was meant to be back for the indoor season, but rumors are spread that he won’t make and we are wondering if he needs a surgery.
Rafa is still practicing as the only shot he can’t make is the double-handed back hand. Recently he commented “Thank you very much for all your messages of support, they help me to work every day to be back as soon as possible. I’m continuing with my recovery and I hope to be back competing soon. THANK YOU.”
According to Sport Illustrated “Maybe they were simply putting on a brave face, but ATP officials were expressing confidence that Nadal would be back from a wrist injury for the Asian swing and the World Tour Finals. I’ve also been told by sources not to be surprised if he shuts it down for the rest of the season.”
Let’s hope to see Rafa back in 2014.
