The temporary withdrawal of Nadal sounded more to a ‘to ever’ than a ‘you see later’. Our best athlete rated the torture of his last months and came to the same conclusion that we all feared sooner or later: “My body has said enough”. In 20 years of Carrera, Rafa was injured at least 25 times and because he is injured: he gets up and hurts, walks and hurts, although we only see him biting trophies, one after the other. “I don’t deserve to end that way,” he said, and claimed one last chance and refused to surrender, like so many other times. Rafa has already started departure and yesterday it hurt us.
