Rafa on crutches in 2004. It's amazing that he's accomplished so much.

Re: Injury and Illness
Alcaraz also posted some news and after a visit to the doctor, he has some considerable injuries in his leg. GF found it, but I gather we will soon too.

Re: Injury and Illness
I was curious so had to look. His instagram says:
Today I have visited my doctor @drlopezmartinez for evaluation and diagnosis of my injury in @usopen. A fibrillar tear is confirmed in the vastus medialis and lateral quadriceps and an elongation in the adductor, so I have to rest for a few weeks and recover in order to reach Indian Wells with the best level. Thank you very much for the support!

Re: Injury and Illness
We still have this about it being 'brave' to finish the match in the face of injury, and Alcaraz was taking some criticism for retiring too early in the match because he didn't look injured. Turns out he knew his own body. Go figure.

Re: Injury and Illness
I'm not sure but I think he's saying he didn't have surgery on his foot and they tried something else? That's what one translation I saw said but of course I have no clue.

Re: Injury and Illness
Good grief. At first I thought that was Roger. You put a mask on either one of them, and it's very difficult to tell them apart.

Re: Injury and Illness
Translation (Rafa's post):
Hello everybody, it has been some time without me communicating with you through social media.
To tell you that I was in Barcelona with my team and the medical team, to get some treatment in my foot that will require some days of rest and some weeks off the courts.
Back home and in recovery process.
Thanks everybody for your support.

Re: Injury and Illness
Just an FYI if you're watching the Laver Cup and thinking "Roger looks great!" He does, but it's when he is sitting down. He's on crutches and moving slow, quite sad to see really given how many of us think of him. So hopefully a successful surgery, but definitely some time before he's back on court.
Also, I think this is why he didn't do an introduction to the crowd. When the Tennis Channel did an interview with him, he was standing, we got a full shot of him, talking to Jim Courier and his crutches where nowhere in sight.

Can’t imagine he will attempt a return before grass season if he does ( I personally don’t think so he will almost be 41)JazzNU wrote:Just an FYI if you're watching the Laver Cup and thinking "Roger looks great!"
