  1. So sad to hear that the injury did not heal fully and enough to compete at the US Open. No excitement left in there now. Get well soon, Rafa. We would like to hear that famous yell again — Vamos!

  2. So sorry Rafa, it will not be the same without you, get better soon, look forward to seeing you play again when you are 100% fit.

  3. I am sorry you will not be able to play in the US Open as I was looking forward to watching you as you are my favorite men’s player. I hope when you are back you will be healthy to win many grand slams. I will not be rooting for anyone in the Men’s just the Women’s.

  4. Rafa, am a big fan of yours BUT I noticed you are TOO INJURY PRONE! It is unfortunate. Has your team considered doing something about your diet, training, practices etc? Why do other players like Federer have less injuries compared to you? What are they doing?

  5. Who knows how Rafa injured the wrist. Rafa himself may not even know. But regardless of what caused this particular injury, Rafa should think TWICE about his holiday routine of diving off the side of his boat while cruising the Mediterranean. I winced when I saw those photos of him diving head first – arms extended, wrists bent – into the sea. I said to myself: “C’mon Rafa, save that stuff for AFTER you retire from professional tennis. You’ll have plenty of time to enjoy yourself then. Don’t jeopardize your health during the prime of your career. Stick to poker, table tennis and golf during holiday. Physical sports like diving and soccer should be off-limits.” VAMOS!!!

  6. Esos comentarios que se viertes en relacion a la lesion de la mano y que los traladan a cosas de temor mental me parecen fuera de todo (por no decir de algun “loco” desubicando).Te deseamos Rafa una buena recuperacion y que pronto nos deleite con tu juego,saludos afectuosos.

  7. Hope you get well soon. US open won’t be the same without our Nadal. Stay fit and healthy.

    Judy
