pastu komen ni menarik jugak...

[size=1em]You have to believe some of the players are burnt out a/b this time into the season and probably don't mind sacrificing the USHC swing so they can re-energize the batteries and nurse some of the lingering injuries about this time of the year. Plus, who in the heck wants to play all summer leading up to the US Open in the hot and humid conditions of the US in the summertime. Granted, there is the Roger's Cup in Canada where it's not quite as hot but if you're going to take a short break this would be the time to do it.

[size=1em]I doubt, it's just a coincidence that Rafa and Li are suddenly pulling out of the summer swing, as are others....and, yes, I get that some of the players will lose ranking points and might lose a better seeding but I have to think the players are looking at the bigger picture and are looking forward to some R & R. Just look at the pictures that we have seen lately of the top players hanging out at the beach and having fun while going boating. (i.e. Rafa, Maria, Serena, Caro, just to name a few) {:~)

The Impact of Rafael Nadal's Absence on US Hard Courts
By Joanie Agler
Jul 31st 2014

Not again.  Those are two words that are probably going through the minds of Rafael Nadal, his camp, and his fans throughout the world.  The situation may not be as dire as what he faced in 2012, but a right wrist injury sustained this past Tuesday once more finds the Spaniard having to sit out the Masters events in Canada and Cincinnati.  It is also an injury that changes the entire outlook for the upcoming weeks of the summer hard-court season.



While most would not wish ill will towards a fellow competitor, Nadals forced absence must have some players feeling a little more optimistic about their opportunities this summer.  A number of the young guns have made steady inroads on the tour and up the rankings in 2014, and there is little doubt that removing Nadal as a potential hurdle increases their odds of continuing that trend.  Furthermore, Roger Federer, who has looked much improved from last year, is another player who could benefit from Nadals temporary hiatus.  The Spaniard has historically been a bad matchup for the Swiss, so Federer will be keenly aware that his chances of grabbing an 18th major in New York look better with Nadal either coming into the US Open cold, or possibly missing in action altogether.

And then theres the advantage afforded to Novak Djokovic with Nadal currently relegated to the sidelines.  Since Nadal is unable to defend his points from his 2013 title runs in Canada and Cincinnati, the Serbs lead in the rankings is bound to increase. This factor could prove pivotal with Djokovic likely to skip defending points of his own in the fall with the birth of his first child.

For all the positives that some players may be able to reap from Nadals absence, however, there is no question that his inability to compete in the coming weeks is an overall loss for tournaments and fans.  Obviously, the person most negatively affected is the man himself.

As previously mentioned, Nadal is the defending champion at both Canada and Cincinnati, which means his ranking will take a hit. Additionally, he is currently not in the most confident state of mind.  After winning his ninth title at Roland Garros, it cannot be said that he has had a poor year thus far, but it has been nowhere near as stellar as his 2013 campaign.  He suffered some surprising early exits on the clay, as well as premature losses at Indian Wells and Wimbledon.  He was already going to have to come into the US Open with less confidence than last season and knowing he had the pressure of defending that title.  But now, assuming that he is even able to play it, he is going to have the added obstacle of trying to win his third trophy there with scant preparation.

But Nadal is not the only one adversely affected by the injury.  So, too, is tennis as a whole.  Like so many of the other games top stars, he is a compelling component of the sport.  Many were looking forward to seeing how well he could back up his summer hard-court results of last season, only to see him now deprived of the opportunity to even attempt to defend his Masters titles.  In addition to that, fans will be forced to wait a little longer for the chance to see him add another enthralling chapter to his rivalries with Djokovic, Federer, and others.  In essence, it feels like a certain spark is missing without the Spaniard in the picture leading up to the US Open.


There is no getting around that Nadal's absence in the coming weeks will be deeply felt, and he will be missed for a number of reasons.  But the good news is that, at least for the time being, the wrist injury does not sound too serious.  He seems relatively confident of being in New York, and even if not at his best, the sport will be better for it if he is.  That said, should the injury prevent him from playing at the US Open, he should still be ready to go for the fall to help make for an exciting finish to 2014.

Exact diagnosis for Rafa's right wrist & prognosis, according to linked article (quoting from the Team Rafa official press release):
http://www.nytimes.com/glogin?URI=http% ... l%3F_r%3D0
Quote:
[size=1em]Nadal, the defending champion at the United States Open, announced that his wrist needed to be immobilized in a cast for at least two to three weeks, which will force him to miss the warm-up Masters events in Toronto and Cincinnati.

Nadal flew to Barcelona from his training base in Manacor, in Majorca, for tests of his wrist, which revealed a small disinsertion of the posterior ulnar pod of his right wrist. Nadals camp offered a prognosis, saying in a statement: Depending on the evolution of the injury that will be carefully followed by the doctors, including M.R.I. tests, it will be decided then the return to competition, initially scheduled for the U.S. Open.



Eye-witness observations tweeted by French fan Mathilde V. who was watching Rafa's practice sessions on Monday and Tuesday, July 28-29:
On Monday:
Quote:
[size=1em]Mathilde V. @bluemathilde 3d
Rafa practised mainly his forehand tonight. No volleys or serves, only a few BH, he didn't have time, with the football match.
[Oh nice. Somehow assumed it was a closed practice. Nice . Good to see hes playing well. Back looks good?]
No evidence of a problem with the back.Touched his elbow once and then shook his hand,maybe a cramp, but it lasted 5 seconds
Very impressive. He gave all he had in every shot, and many, many forehands were sharp, deep, and powerful.

On Tuesday:
Quote:
[size=1em]Mathilde V. @bluemathilde 2d
No practising session tomorrow, but it seems Rafa will practise on thursday ... Let's see how it goes ...
[Last week I read from a fan who'd been in Rafa's practice sessions that he's leaving for Toronto on Jul 30 (that is tomorrow!)]
Today both Toni and Maymo answered me he will be here on thursday. Weird ...
Yes, i was surprised by their answer, knowing that he should attend the draw ...
Titin is the first one i asked, and since i was confused by the answer, i asked Toni who said the same. Let's wait and see
Again a lot of forehands today, a few volleys, no serves. No sparring today, he only practised with Toni.
[Strange that he's not practicing serve at all, is his back ok?]
No evidence, often bending, but he does it when he's short breathing.No limits in his forehands,full power,no limits in the moves.
The only intriguing thing for me, is that he practised almost only forehand. And i don't know if it's a choice, a lack of time in the 2 last
practising sessions (football match yesterday, event at Manacor club today) , or something else.
One thing for sure, he has no problem with very, very powerful shots, and intense footwork. Wait and see


Yesterday (Wednesday, July 30):
Quote:
[size=1em]Mathilde V. @bluemathilde 20h
I've not seen him serve in 2 days.
Right wrist. So no serves, no backhands ... and good footwork.
Only sliced BH, and very few.
Yes, i said he only hit forehands. That was disturbing me.
On monday, it was in the afternoon, and yesterday in the morning.
Monday and yesterday morning, he didn't hit any 2 hands BH. And yesterday Maymo and Toni said
no practise this morning. So he's at last already been injured before monday.
No, i just found weird that for 2 practising sessions , he had almost only hit forehands (very good ones though).
No, i didn't know anything ... but found it weird that he was only hitting FH for 2 practising sessions, and
that neither Maymo or Toni answered me clearly when I asked when Rafa was leaving ...


.. and today:

Quote:
[size=1em]Mathilde V. @bluemathilde 5h
Rafa practising FH with his cast this morning. Happy to see you Rafz Do you feel better guys ? #VamosRafa
Rafa is practising only FH again, with Toni only. No rallyes, only one ball , one shot. But he's here #VamosRafa
Plaster cast . He's free to move his fingers
He cannot bend the wrist at all, though.
He's having a break right now, but he's practising.
I just told Rafa that you, guys, are sending him love, support and best wishes. "Thanks a lot" and a huge smile ) #VamosRafa #VamosRafans
I don't think i'll be able to tell him anything else, but he got the message
He just went out for a phone call, & walked really close to me.I took the opportunity Now he's back. We're only 15 people 2day.
Mathilde V. @bluemathilde 4h
Practise is over, it was light, but still a practising session Rafa was still smiling, signed, took pics #VamosRafa
Toni confirmed to us that Rafa is going to keep practising every morning, lightly, only forehands. #VamosRafa
[So glad that you still went to the club after hearing the withdrawal and put our minds at ease for now Merci!]
Maymo told me on tuesday he would be here today. And i never give up on Rafa
