  3. temporarily fixed it I think. All comments will show up in order, regardless of if it is a replay to a previous comment from much earlier in the thread. Let me know if you prefer it this way. Thanks!

  4. This is a comment from VB forum member ana Canada who saw Rafa practice yesterday. I thought that everyone would like to know how Rafa is looking.

    “I saw both Rafa practices yesterday and to my untrained eye he looked good. He practiced serve and played a practice set and tie break with Berdych. Rafa won both. His serve looked back to normal to me. He indicated no problem with the left shoulder. In his second practice doing backhand drills with Roig he did stop nd get a brief massage to his right shoulder from the lovely Maymo. After that he went back to hitting backhands with a vengeance! I have had the pleasure of seeing many Rafa practices and mini scares like this are common with Rafa. He is easily spooked by things going on with his body. Who can blame him with his history. Neither Maymo nor Roig seemed the least bit concerned.”

  5. Ricky,

    One weird thing I have noticed is that when I click on the recent comments on the right hand side of the page, if it’s a post that was made in the Rafa forum thread, it goes back a year. You can’t get to the current posts if you click on any of the recent posts. The only way I can get back here is if I click on Rafa Nadal under Popular Recent Articles.

    I have no idea why it’s doing that.

  7. Ricky,

    Would you possibly consider starting a new Rafa thread and just consigning this one to the dust bin? 🙂

    Oh and thanks for the tip with the url.

  16. vamosrafa,

    Thanks for these practice videos. I am okay with Rafa hitting his forehand aggressively even if he’s making more mistakes. He has to go for it more and maybe this is what he’s trying to do in his practice sessions.

    I found myself thinking as I watched it, how great it is to see Rafa in Montreal playing this year. Last year was so disappointing when he couldn’t play at all. So at least we have that!

  17. dpa. international, 09 August 2015: ¤¤ Quietly confident Nadal returns to his Canadian hardcourt heaven.

    (An excerpt)
    “For sure there is more behind than in front (of my career). I’m sure of that,” said Nadal. “But I don’t think about that. Day by day is my way to work. In 2005 I was aged 19, and I’m sure that I won’t be playing tennis until 39.”
    “That is part of the career and life. I have motivation to keep going so it’s difficult to think about not playing. But when it comes, I will know. When I wake up without motivation to improve that will be the end. But until that day arrives I’m here and enjoying it.”
    The often injured Nadal pronounced his current fitness “great,” and after the Hamburg victory his mental game is “working well” too.
    “In 2015 I’ve been very healthy, 2014 was a tough year, especially the second half,” he said.
    “I’ve had some important injuries and had to stop playing for several periods. I’ve lost some matches that I should have won this year, but I still have positive feelings.”
