Professional tennis is simply too hard on the body - so much stress that evolution has not prepared us for... Tennis actually is a repeated abuse of joints, ligaments and tendons. That's why there are "tennis elbows" - and tennis shoulders, backs, knees... Nadal has been pushing his body to the limit and beyond for months, and now it seems he's starting to feel the backlash.. I am very sad that Rafa will not be able to participate in the Davis cup final. Clearly, his team have made a difficult, but smart decision.. Needless to say, Rafa is greatly missed in shanghai and will be equally missed in Argentina for the Davis cup final. In all due respect to other players, the tournament is not the same without him; however, no tournament or ranking points are worth jeopardizing his physical well-being…. I wish him a speedy recovery
