Nadal should play only on clay and grass....
to prolong his career and stay healthy. If so would atp ban him for not playing mandatory tournaments on hardcourt? I know of a Swedish player in the past that only played on clay due to knee problems, Kent Karlsson, i dont think he was ever fined, but this was in the 80s i think and the rules might have been different.....

I think he should focus the rest of his career on doing everything he can to win the French and Wimbledon and should put all of his energy in preparing for these tournaments.
He should still play other major tournaments, but he shouldn't try and destroy himself when he plays them. He should play ultra aggressive on the harder surfaces and avoid trying to get every ball back. |

That would be smart, Rafa should (as much as he can) avoid hard surfaces.
Rafa is smart enough to realize that there is a life beyond tennis, so keep himself healthy is a goal.

no need to avoid hardcourts entirely, just change strategies a little.
he can come in more on hardcourts, hit flatter more often and try to shorten points.
