Rafael Nadal is currently back home in Spain as he works toward recovering from a foot injury that has plagued him throughout 2021.
The injury trouble him so much that Nadal decided to abandon the 2021 season completely in favour of trying to recover as best he can in time for the 2022 season. The injury isn't something new and Nadal has dealt with it on and off since 2006. Recently Nadal spoke about his progress for the first time since announcing he would not play in 2021 anymore saying:
“I’ve been better, but I’m fine. A little sore from the foot. It is a time that is a bit complicated on a personal and professional level. Honestly, with the illusion of improving and facing a process that is going to be difficult and painful at some point, but that I have to go through to get back in a position to fight for what I want. I am determined to do it.”
Nadal also struck a grateful tone explaining he achieved much more than he ever dreamt of achieving despite many injuries over the years:
“I have had fantastic things, bigger things than I would have ever dreamed of, and also more complicated moments in the form of injuries. But, within what is possible I have always had a way to get ahead.”

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!!

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
