Rafael Nadal will miss the upcoming Australian Open due to a minor tear in the muscle by his left hip. However, there’s no doubt his ranking will rise when he makes a comeback for the clay season.
Vamos Rafa!
Just a minor setback, Rafa. Looking forward to seeing you up and running in the clay swing. Love and best wishes
Oh Rafa I miss you please get fit and well Soon lots of love xx
Oh Rafa I miss you so much my days are so long when you are not playing .Get weĺ soon so I can have something to look forward to lots of love
So good to see Rafa back and playing so well…however I ain’t gonna lie I’m very disappointed that he’s dropped out of the AO. Hopefully his injury will mend by the clay season. Love seeing baby Rafa but I can’t figure out who he looks like! Maybe mama more than Papa😊
Get well soon, that‘s the most important thing.
Get well soon Rafa, that‘s the most important thing.
I LOVE RAFA, right from the beginning of him stepping on court when he first began his tennis career. That’s when I became an avid tennis fan. I would stay up all night to watch him play. He is the only person I stayed up all night to watch. I miss him a lot , there will not be a replacement to match his fantastic performances and charisma. He is such a gentleman on and off the court.
Am glad for Rafas’ valiant efforts in Brisbane that he has jumped up so many places. Encouragement is what is needed to sustain our hero in this dreadful time yet again in his tennis career
.Vamos our GOAT… Love sent for full healing Rafa xx❤❤
Enjoyed watching your four matches…take extra good care of yourself, you will be feeling healthy and strong again soon.❤️🩹 Vamos Rafa💪
