Rafa is long-sighted. He may even withdraw from London (for the 3rd time?) and prepare for AO to go for bigger prize and bigger history. Man, he is smart.

Tendinitis in his shoulder, looks like. source: http://www.as.com/tenis/articulo/rafa-nadal-estara-masters-1000/dasten/20101105dasdasten_3/Tes

He needs the rest, though. Hopefully he can just rest up, and let the shoulder heal.
