Rafa will be fine.
We can't write an all-time great off after a few matches.
Things just seem to get magnified when it's Rafa.
I have faith in him.

Rafa should have taken a wild card in Estoril and put some extra
matches under his belt.

OK, I'll go with it, since you've been right on many things.

No tennis player in the top 50 wants to miss any matches and
Rafa is no different. However, when he came back after the
Australian Open so quickly I said to some friends, "what's he
doing? Last year he rested and made sure he came back 10000% --
I cannot see how he has recuperated so quickly this time."
Of course, it's easy to say that after the fact.
I'm not a doctor, but I know backs are tricky. You can play for
two hours not feeling anything, and then suddenly "BANG" - pain
- and you can't do what you did a minute ago.
But then you have it in your head, no matter how healthy your
DRs say you are, that sometime in the match you may get hit with
"BANG". And it affects your game. And your head. And that is
Rafa's problem.
Rafa IS defending 1000 points, but since Djoko is out.... #3 is
far, far away from him. Still, you want to do your best, and RG
is looming out there....
And Wawrinka could face him in the QFs....

That's very true. The doctors can see that everything is fine on
an X-ray, but that doesn't take into account niggling pains,
stamina, or rest and recuperation.
I hope Rafa has fully recovered, though.

you may be right general.
only thing missing right now is practice and match play. as soon
as he can remove those deficiencies he will be back in business.
he has to practice more and also string together a few match
wins.
he could use a little more work on the fitness front also.

Do you think he was working on putting his backhand in play? I
did. At one point I started counting them, because I hadn't seen
the backhand for so long.
After #12, I figured he had come to Camelot and decided to
listen to all the great advice here :).
