Kneesgate Update

Rafa's team needs to find a way to anounce they're going to announce something without making people worrying all the damned day. I was *this* close to chugging my mom's 30 year old red vintage.


From rafaelnadal.com:



Rafa Nadal underwent further medical tests today in Barcelona. He is slowly recovering from his injury and will resume practice next Monday July 20th. He will back in action in Montreal where he is defending champion.

Rafa travelled to Barcelona yesterday and underwent medical exams to see the evolution of the insertion tendinitis of both Quadricipitals Tendons through an MRI and radiography under the supervision of his doctor Angel Ruiz-Cotorro.

Also, Benito? Stop using google as translator, because "evolution of injury" makes people think of bad, bad things. Like the injury has evolved into a more advanced injury, and that is never good in the world of fandom. The word you're looking for is "development". I'm always available to be a translator for your time. I will not require payment, only time alone with Rafa 15 minutes every day. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Please don't think I am ungracious for the update. I am very grateful that you're involving us almost every step of the way. The announcement just didn't need that much sense of occasion.



Maybe I need to chug that vintage after all.

  1. I enjoyed your rant. Well done.

    OT: I want to kiss Rafa's lips in that pic. The open mouth is very, um, inviting.

  2. Babz, I so enjoyed the rant too. And agree with it. Heh.
    And yes, I'd do a better job with the translation, only I think I'd want about 20 minutes of alone time. Me wants some "before" and "after" treatment as well, no? ;)
    *counts minutes on fingers*
    Maybe 30 minutes, actually.

    Johanne, I read your comment about kissing Rafa's open mouth and then went to make my breakfast. Needless to say, I made a complete mess of it...
    Rafa, you're taking over my life! :)
