Rafa was in Madrid yesterday to attend a Sponsorship commitment. There he spoke about his knee, which prevented him from competing at his best level at the final of the tournament in Rotterdam.
It "will not be a problem to play the Davis Cup in Benidorm", He's "very excited".
"I'm not worried about my knee. It's not an injury like last year, it's simply been a matter of overload and fatigue. After the tournament in Australia I could not get enough rest before reaching the final, which was very long and demanding", said Rafa.
"It's an overload in a tendon which, prevented me [to] get well, but we are almost certain that there will be no problems", added the world No.1.

"Look out! There's a Rafanatic behind you!"
Here's my, ahem, *official* translation. As in, the way I heard it.
ReplyDeleteNatch, I'm so sorry you missed me all last week. And what's up with the Tennis Channel broadcasting Rotterdam this week, like it's brand new? Well, at least you get to see me. For that I am happy. Where are all my other favorite Rafanatics? I look for Sonja, no? Johanne, no? Babz, no? Where everybody at? You no love me no more? I may need kisses from this lady across from me, I so sad.
Huh? I LOVE the shoes!
ReplyDeleteAs for Rafa's interview (I totally understood the same stuff as you natch!):
Rafa, I'm really sorry I couldn't be there. It's very sweet you liked the leather jacket I picked out for you though. I'll see you soon at your mansion in Mallorca. To make up for all the Sonjalessness, I'll be waiting in your jacuzzi - only wearing Cavalli shades and a smile. We'll be taking care of your knee then. And stuff...
I'm telling you, he could rock an old burlap sack. And I heard that the big house is on Ibiza, and it's eco-friendly. That's what the little birdie told me.
