This is gonna be tough for him to come back from, but the good news is if he manages to overcome the injury he'll be so hungry for success. I hope he does it

Nadal really can go DIAF I mean I wish him health and happiness and everything, but I really hope in the next few days he discovers that he wants to spend the rest of his life playing golf in Majorca. I am NOT here for him to carry on over-inflating his Slam count

OK, now I feel a bit guilty
This does seem so bizarre. Why would a virus make him withdraw from a Slam more than 2 weeks before it starts? For the first time, I am genuinely starting to wonder if we'll ever see Nadal on court again...

It really is. Everyone is always so fucking STARVED for tennis by this point, that we're all even more excitable than usual

I think we'll see him on court again. He can recover fully, it will likely reoccur at the end of 2014 though so he'll either retire then or he could attempt a comeback. He'll play until he gets snatched regularly on clay or just gets sick of the knee problems IMO.

His knee will never really recover. That was the price for 10 great years. He knew it, Toni knew it, everyone knew it.
Now its their choice he wants to go down as poor someone who cant compete bc of a "serious" injury (and saving his "greatness") or try to play as much he can and "gets snatched regularly". So far its the first.
If his knees continue to be a problem maybe he should just play clay and grasscourt tournaments from now on and stay away from hardcourts. That's very drastic, but perhaps it's his only option. Of course the powers that be will want him to play all the mandatory events and the slams, but it could be a matter of accepting a part-time Nadal or no Nadal at all. The choice is theirs.

It's amazing how players can hold up on hard courts. How Kimmie's body held out for as long as it did with those splits is beyond belief. I don't even want to think of the joint pains she likely has.

Well I admit that is what will ultimately happen, as sad as it makes me. I still think he'll come back this time though for a couple more seasons. He better.
