    Vid of press conference in the link.

    Definitely needs some time off, he's young as hell and has won a major this year already at least.

    He has to be very careful about the injuries, it can be the career disaster.In my point of view he should play only big tournaments and skip small ones.

    This can help him to maintain his fitness and prolong his career.

    All the Rafa fans who continue stubbornly to argue that Rafa is better than Fed are becoming tiresome. I’m a huge Rafa fan but it’s absurd to claim Rafa is even in the same league as Fed. Numbers speak for themselves. You don’t compare someone who’s won 15 majors to someone who’s won 6 and whose physical dominance has likely already peaked due to chronic injury.

    And yet Federer's record against Nadal will always stand out. I believe Roger's putting together a strong case for being called the best tennis player ever (not one that I suscribe to, but a strong one nonetheless). But whenever you talk about his accomplishments, his inability to replicate that same dominance against Rafa is significant.

    I also agree about this being a sign of a significant issue for Rafa. If it isn't now, it will be eventually. Nadal is such an overpowering athlete on the tennis court and his game is predicated on that. He's neglected to work on the technique of his swing, because he can overcome it. But when he loses that power and strength, it'll become a lot tougher for him. I wonder about the longetivity of his career.
