Glad to hear this. It just seems weird not to have Rafa in the tournaments.

Goosehead, I have to say I love your Gordan the Gopher avatar! Haha! My school days! . I don't really want Rosol in Rafa draw for AO. I must say! Too soon, no? . After last time then Rafa gone all this time! Not a nice match up, I think!

According to Toni, Nadal was supposed to be fit by the olympics, then by the USO and then by the WTF and then Davis Cup. I dont believe a word of his until I see pics but hopefully for Rafa he starts practice soon

Exactly. He set yet another date for Nadal to return to practice last month. He did the same thing in September. David Nadal also said he was going to start practicing again nearly 3 weeks ago. They're full of it,and until there is actual video of him practicing on court,I won't believe it otherwise.

Haha, no love for Muzza and Fed huh
But as a Djokodal, can't you not throw a bone to Muzza and give the USO ?

Come on, don't take away the reason for his being

I mean, come on...

Uhm, why would that be weird?.

This article is no more legitimate than the tweets I read from David Nadal,or the other quotes I read from Toni saying he was coming back. I won't believe it till I see it.

I don't think Toni had actually set a specific date for training, more like saying he might play this or that tournament?.

He didn't use exact dates,but he said stuff like "we'll start practicing next week",and then that week came and went and nothing. David Nadal did the same thing. They don't have any idea what they're doing,and I don't believe a word that comes out of their mouths anymore.

Wasnt there a video of him practicing with Bellucci?

[GoodVibrations]

Clarky21 is right here. I distinctly remember Toni & Co. declaring that Rafa would "start practicing on the court next week" weeks ago. He could be for real this time but I'll believe it when I see it.

[Murrayfan31]

I'm trying not to think about it. The horror of seeing that style again will give me nightmares.

[RF20Lennon]

well lets see if he posts any pics next week

That was from months ago during the clay season. He has not practiced since,IIRC,July sometime.
