Our champ will have season-ending appendicitis surgery next month, ruling him out of the upcoming Paris Masters and the ATP finals in London. We all wish him a successful operation and a speedy recovery! VAMOS RAFA!
Rafael Nadal with 14 grand slams has gone into the history books as one of the greatest sportsmen, he is so humble well mannered quiet and the should make him number one of all tennis players ever.

Best wishes for a successful surgery & speedy recovery;we love you & all with you Rafa Nadal <3
Good luck Rafa on your surgery and I pray for you a speedy recovery and hope you will be back next year good as new. You will always be #1 to me! Vamos!
Going to the o2 this year for the WTF, gutted Rafa isn’t going to be playing!
#3 in the Rankings? Right! Everyone who knows Tennis, knows that Rafa is the best player in the world. Hands down. One or 2 more slams and he will finish as the greatest of all time! #vamosrafa.
Health more important ,Rafael will retain No 3 but lose points as he reached the final in London last year. Roger is surely benefitting from Rafael’s health issues! Going to Paris but a case of Hamlet without the Prince! The City of Light will be not be the same without him
Yes. I will still watch those tournaments, if for no other reason, just to keep up the progress on Rafa’s competition. But my heart will ache for Rafa. Get well and strong soon, Rafa! We’ll always be here for you.
I think Nadal could end up having a similar year to 2013 next year!
