"MADRID, Spain (AP)—Spain’s Davis Cup captain Albert Costa says Rafael Nadal “is worried” about his constant injuries.
“He is worried about his physical state, but he’s working every day to get better,” Costa said Wednesday.
Nadal will be sidelined for Spain’s Davis Cup match against Switzerland next week. Nadal and top-ranked Roger Federer will miss the best-of-five series on March 5-7.
Another serious knee injury forced Nadal out of the Australian Open in January. Federer had announced earlier he would not play Davis Cup, and pulled out of the Dubai Championships because of a lung infection on Sunday.
Nadal has been plagued by injuries since November 2008, when tendinitis in his knees forced him to miss Spain’s Davis Cup win over Argentina. The 23-year-old Nadal missed several months last summer because of knee problems after the French Open, where he failed to lift the trophy for the first time in five years.
“Until last year at Roland Garros and the problems, he had achieved everything,” Costa said. “It’s normal, after 22 years and winning everything, to have some down time.”
It's normal for a 22 year old to have some down time? This should be the prime of his career...He won everything? hardly....Maybe it's I can take losing...so now I have injuries for excuses....Face it Nadal your awesome...your great....but there's always a new kid on the block waiting to take you down.....maybe just maybe all your injuries are from your unique "training" on Fantasy Island.....amazing how fast you lost your muscle mass the last 6 months......the truth will come out someday....
