Nadal Suffering From Foot Injury
In what should come as no surprise, Rafael Nadal has been suffering from a foot injury since 2005. Nadal’s coach and uncle, Tony Nadal, said the problem is serious but would not comment on whether the injury is career threatening.
“I prefer not to answer. It’s very serious. I don’t know [if it's career-threatening]. I’ll let the doctor reply to that. He has to take a lot of precautions when he plays.”
The secret to Nadal’s success is that he is so quick and his game is almost violently physical. For the last few years, Nadal has been strong in the first half of the season then his results take a noticeable hit in the second half.
Nadal won the French Open for the third time this year, along with 5 other titles. His last big result was pushing Federer to 5 sets in the Wimbledon final.
The question then begs, if Rafael Nadal’s career is cut short due to injury, who then would be able to compete with Roger Federer?

I’ve been using those headers for over three years, I can’t remember where they came from. I plan on updating those as, like I said, I’ve been using them for a long time.

They are actually (part of) my photos. I posted them in an old Nadal fansite (VamosRafael.com). Hope you could discard them as soon as possible unless you give me a proper credit.
Thanks.

Sorry about that, they have been removed.

Thanks. I did not mean to be mean but I was not comfortable with that. Hope you understand.
Thanks anyway for your quick action.

You weren’t mean, I totally understand.
