Injury and Illness

I wonder how much conditioning he will lose.

Rafa out for 4-6 weeks with a cracked rib. Monte Carlo, Barcelona and possibly Madrid out of the calendar. RG now looks open for somebody else.
How on earth did he crack a rib? He is not playing American football, he is not in a rodeo. And cracked ribs simply don't heal like other bones; there is no bandaging or immobilization possible. I once had one and you basically have to stand still all day. Any movement can crack it open again.

Particularly a stress fracture, because whatever caused that is a repeated action

I had a cracked rib once from being hit with a 95 mph baseball. It's the only time in my life that I consciously tried to avoid laughing, because that is what caused the most pain.
Normally, while injured, you look for positive things to occupy your thoughts - and there's little that is more positive than laughter. Imagine seeing laughter as something painful and to be avoided!

A lot. Forget about doing any weights. Forget about any aerobics (your breathing will re-injure you). Forget about elastics, forget about doing anything core related.
He will recover 100%, for sure. But until it has healed, he basically can play parcheesi with Xisca. I am not joking: I doubt he can even fish.

It’s the fishing that hurts the most.

I surmise the shorts were too tight.

#Berrettini non ci sarà agli #IBI22: l'annuncio sui social dopo l'operazione alla mano.

"Non partecipare a Roma, è stata una decisione difficile che tuttavia ritengo essere quella giusta per poter tornare ai massimi livelli."

Ti aspettiamo il prossimo anno, Matteo!

#Berrettini there will be no #IBI22 : the announcement on social media after the operation in hand.

"Not taking part in Rome, it was a difficult decision which, however, I believe to be the right one to be able to return to the highest levels."

We look forward to seeing you next year, Matteo!

Broken heart?

I think it has to do more with that abdominal issue he's been struggling with.

He had surgery on his right hand a week ago or so. https://www.si.com/tennis/2022/03/29/ma ... own-return

Given the recent break-up, there's a joke in there ^ somewhere...
