To see Rafael Nadal back in court brings so much joy to to the hearts of people who believe and care for you. Here’s wishing you the very best of everything for the coming week. I will be watching Madrid Mutua 2022 from Sydney, Australia
Rafa can win Madrid as he has done this on numerous occasions and coming back from injuries as he did at the Australian Open . I think only Alcarez stands in Rafa’s way unless Novak rediscovers his game . I am not forgetting the rest of the field but Rafa can defeat anyone if he is on his game on clay .
Vamos Rafa! ✌
Love seeing Rafa back on the court. I pray he is fully recovered. I had 3 dislocated ribs in August and I STILL suffer pain from the muscles trying to protect the ribs! Having your own personal medical team sure helps! 🙂 Cannot wait to watch you play in Madrid! Opening of the clay court only happens when Rafa is on the clay!
Dear Jill, sorry to hear about your injury. Hoping the pain will finally go away and that you will be again pain-free. Hugs!
Happy to see you back on the court❤️
Nice to see him smiling ☺️. Rib injuries are extremely painful and no joke and happy he recovered in time. One step at a time.
So happy to see you back Rafa and wish you well, onwards and upwards day by day x
Welcome back, Rafa😁 Take it easy, one match at a time❤️
Happy to see you back on court-now clay court really begins🤗🥰🎾🍀❤️
