I guess its good he`s not playing Stuttgart gives him time to rest and recouporate :) but im really worried doctors have advised him not to!!! I mean it doesnt sound just precautionary its like he`s damaged his knees more :( !

Answer 1

im sure he will be fine, just having sum rest after all the hard work his done 2 win wimbledon

Answer 2

Nothing much to worry about. Not too bad of a problem.

Answer 3

Do you remember yesterday at one point he fell and he was limping a wee bit. I was pretty worried then and thought his feet were going to give out before the match. I could only imagine how deeply he wanted to win yesterday despite the pain and discomfort that he continued to play with it.

It is sad he wont be playing in Stuttgart, but I would like to think of it as a very wise decision. He can rest, recuperate, exercise, practise and be ready for the next match.

Resting during injury is important and I am glad he is paying attention to both himself and his dreams :)

Vamos Rafa!

Answer 4

Hey dont worry he'll be ok,the guy deserves a break and who wouldnt after everything he's done the last 6 weeks really,french open,Queens then Wimbledon.  Dont worry he'll be back playing before we know it.

Answer 5

dont worry this aint serious, he played that tournament last year because he didnt win a title after the french! this year he won wimbledon, so why do u need to play a small clay court match? to prove what? take a rest and get ready for the hard court masters and olympics! he does not need stuttgart to overtake federer in the rankings. just need to reach the semis of the masters and semis of US open! i couldnt believe why he would play stuttgart after he won wimbledon, now im glad he pulled out. he just used the knee as a reason, he didnt even get a medical time out when he twisted his knee. and he ran around great in the entire match! he needs rest, mentally and physically! and besides he does more attacking with a bigger serve so he runs much less than before thus reducing the strain on his legs, he will be fine. he needs to concentrate on the the grand slams mainly from now on, he can win every slam with his current game!

Answer 6

yeah he'll be fine we just have to let him rest and make the most of his feat he accomplished yesterday

Answer 7

I reckon he's just making it up, or it isn't serious at all. He's just pumped that he won Wimbledon and he's going to rest up and make the most of it ;-D

Answer 8

I wouldn't worry too much about it. He probably would have won it anyway. Well I think he needs to modify his playing style more, not pound so much on the hardcourts and learn to play more efficiently. This way he won't be injured/ or burnt out by the time hardcourt season comes around.

Answer 9

I thought he was getting an excuse ready if he lost

Answer 10

it wont be serious but if it his at least we could see some new players come in to tennis like what jo wilfred tsonga did at the french last year

Answer 11

OMG I really hope it's not serious :'-(

It's probably just because he played a long and tiring final - sooo glad he won it!! I actually cried when he won lmao

His knee didn't seem to effect him too much in the final and he didn't get any treatment from the trainer so hopefully he will be okay.  

Besides, it's Rafa - he'll bounce back :-D

Vamos Rafa, well done for winning!!

Answer 12

No you shouldn't be. He only twisted his knee or something in wimbledon so if he played it might not give the sufficent time to heal or risk falling nd getting injured again. So don't be worried :)
