Nadal injuries...

[leonardtay]

Nadal looks really in trouble these days with his leg related injuries. He really needs to take a long break to recover failing which he will be be risking a really bad injury that could put him out for a long time. But seeing as how Djokovic is close on his heels in the rankings, I wonder if Nadal will push himself for Paris and Shanghai. Any give Federer a better chance at the French next year because of this?

I'm not sure that his loss to Nalbandian was injury-related. He played very well against Murray, and just seemed to have a bad day at the office in his next match. In any event he has the off-season to rest and recuperate. It's way too early to assess his chances in the clay court season.
