Yeah, it sure takes alot of fun out from Wimbledon.. he's the No.1 player, the expected one to be performing well.. but.. I think his style of play is just too much for his body...

But still its Wimbledon... =)

Well now thats its official, Nadal won't defend his Wimbledon title, this years potential champion are between Federer and Murray, I guess, no idea who will be the darkhorses this year, I will point out, Nadal made a good decision not to play Wimbledon as to further his chances at this years US Open, I knew it was a bad decision for him to even play Barcelona and Madrid (damn you Ion Tiriac) that was 1 French Open you cost Nadal ...&^$&$&^$, I hope Nadal learns a important lesson, even though its your home/country event, NOTHING matters except Tennis Majors, and that IT Period....No:1 is nothing if you don't have any majors.

The only silver lining I see is that *IF* Nadal does indeed rest properly and only concentrate on the slams, irregardless if he loses his No:1 ranking, he wins the first US Open of his career and is the only seventh man to do it after Federer, but he would of accomplished getting a career slam faster than Roger, no :-p

oh well

It's not the first time Rafa missed a Grand Slam tournament... it's best to withdraw now and focus to recover in time for the US Open.

Chance for Roger to be the first man to win 15 Grand Slam. Like some of you guys, I think Murray could win here too.
