Just when most of Spain is getting ready for some holidays, Rafa and ‘Team Nadal’ just finished theirs. After two weeks of rest they are back to work to prepare the most difficult part of the season yet.

Rafa’s run during the American hard-court season has always been the most challenging for him, but this year (compared to previous years), Rafa has been very careful planning his schedule to avoid injuries and exhaustion. He is coming back full of energy ready to fight for the only Grand Slam trophy he’s missing, as well as compete at the highest level in the remaining 4 Masters Series 1000 events and ATP World Tour Finals.

But what exactly has Rafa done during his time off you may be wondering? He spent time at the beach and fishing with family and friends. As most people already saw on TV, he was in South Africa supporting Spain for the World Cup final and some of you may have seen him going to Vitoria, the place where he usually goes to recover his knees.
We hope this break gave Rafa all that he needed to face the upcoming tournaments in Canada, Cincinnati and New York (US Open).

Vamos Rafa!
