Anyone kind of feel like they just took a test and they are waiting for the results? That's how I feel waiting to see if Nadal will play wimbly or not. I can't even imagine how the nadal fans are feeling.

Yep - I know what you're saying. I'm not a Rafa 'fan' as such, but I so hope it's good news tomorrow. I'm a bit worried though.
No one can say that tennis isn't full of drama of one kind or another.

He did say he was not playing at 100% and did not play his best tennis due to his knees...So indirectly yes he did say that...

Same here. We're agreeing rather a lot lately. It's making me uneasy
We can soon sort that out!
No doubt normal service will be resumed when we get round to discussing Murray's chances @ SW19

I'm not so sure mate. I'm speculating, obviously - but I think the opposite is true. If he was going to play I think they'd just have announced it today. Rafa surely isn't waiting for the results of anything - he has the best care money can buy. He'll have been told today IMHO.

Honestly I dont think Federer would be as satisfied if he won this Wimbledon without beating Rafa in the final.

A statement? Can’t he just send an e-mail to the organisers?
This sounds bad for Nadal.
If they had any hopes for a full recovery, they'd do a statement much later on, after Nadal's treatment and with the results on hand.
If they'll make an statement this early and are calling the press on it, it's because they probably already know he won't recover on time. And since he stepped down from Queen's already...
It's looking grim, IMO.

What's the big deal ? He likes to be in the media apparently: will he play, won't he play...who cares. Uncle Toni should shut the **** up. If you can't play you withdraw, period. Like Sharapova did everytime before she felt ready to play. I hate the whole Nadal media circus for a knee injuree. I can sense bitterness miles away.

At least Federer’s phobia is focused. Is there any player, besides Federer, Nadal shouldn’t be afraid of?

Rafa can beat every player in the tour. Noone can stand in his way, if he is 100% healthy...

what kind of tests do they do to figure out if you're able to play or not (in Nadal's case)?
Agree. There is no point in this if you are simply going to announce this early that you're going to play. The only thing that makes any sense is a statement to the contrary, which is extremely unfortunate not only for Nadal, but for tennis as a whole.
I sure as hell hope we're wrong here...

The dude is on a stupid publicity stunt.
He will be playing Wimbledon barring a broken leg.

So Soderling should be a doctor as he was spot on with his diagnosis.

You've been 100% right on all predictions that i've seen you make (Fed beating Nadal in their 20th meeting, Fed winning the french AND in straights, that he paid his curse of 13 dues in Melbourne) Lets see if your prediction is correct..because i kinda want Fedal SW19 R4

No one has ever beaten me when i am 100% healthy. I can bagle Nadal if i am 100% healthy. I have never been 100% healthy though. And i do not foresee my becoming 100% healthy in the future with all the cheeseburgers and gallons of beer that goes in.
Nah. I'm sure he predicted Fed to win last year's Wimby.

Nope I remember he predicted that 2008 would be Nadal's year at Wimby...

I hope there is nothing wrong with Rafa and tests are OK. Not being able to defend his title would be very sad. I hope Rafa and Roger play another epic final and may the better player on the day win. I have a feeling things will be fine but he might require a surgery later on in the year probably after the US open.

There is nothing wrong with him except regular tennis wear and tear.
