ReturnWinner 03-23-2008, 12:38 AM just some blisters, nothing special i think. zadle69 03-23-2008, 12:41 AM was there a problem with his foot? amierin 03-23-2008, 12:53 AM After the delayed treatment he kept kicking at his heel as if he wasn't comfortable with the wrap. He was also rushing to finish points. adee-gee 03-23-2008, 01:04 AM It looked sore, but it played no part in the result. FeñaRuiz 03-23-2008, 01:21 AM it smells Sean 03-23-2008, 01:58 AM Yeah it was along with the rest of him being stamped on by Nole. Jaffas85 03-23-2008, 02:29 AM It was just some blisters on his toe(s). So nothing. Clara Bow 03-23-2008, 02:32 AM Tennis World has some quotes from Rafa's presser. He said he doesn't have an injury, it was just something with the toenail- but did not affect the outcome of the match. Nadal press conference quotes: Q. You seemed to have trouble finding your game most the day, and you appeared to have an injury. Give us an overview of what heppened. RAFAEL NADAL: No, sir, no. No injury. I didn't feel well playing tennis. I had more mistakes than usually. Well, I feel a little bit tired from the last two matches. That's sure. Because, well, in the runs I feel a little bit more slowly than days before. Well, if you play against one player like Novak you have to play 100% if I want to have chances to win. ****** Q. What did you take the medical timeout for? What was happening with your foot? RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, I was - I don't know exactly, no? But very tough in English for me. I improve but not a lot. MODERATOR: Just next to the nail, next to the toenail. It was just, you know, bothering me. It was hitting - every time I was pushing near the toenail. RAFAEL NADAL: I'm not saying that this affect the match. It's not an excuse. amierin 03-23-2008, 02:46 AM Rafa doesn't give excuses. Never has. gnaz 03-23-2008, 04:23 AM Blister on his toe like Nole in the 2007 Wimbledon SF, talk about karma.... | |
