Rafa told the Spanish press Friday that he is arriving at this
clay season in "the worst form" of his entire career.
He also said he has a lot of doubts.
This is not what a top player---who also happens to be the
greatest clay court player---should be saying.
I am really worried to death about this.
For one thing his considerably diminished fitness could lead to
more injuries and end his career.
How could a top pro in his prime let his fitness decline so
much.
Rafa said his ranking could suffer a lot.
Why is he allowing this to happen?

I think he starts to turn it around here general. This demise
can't keep going on, and not on clay It is indeed the
"wellspring from which he flows". I expect those forehand
topspin cyclones of death to start finding their mark. Why not
here? He's won 8 of these, more than anyone else in the
history. We will see.
Ferrer beat him last year in the QF, and they are set to meet
again there if they both get that far. Somehow, I have a
feeling No1e will take a bit of a break here after the tough IW
- Miami, and charge his batteries for RG.
Edit: Yes, his lack of confidence is distressing. But as Uncle
Toni said, he might only need one good set of circumstances to
turn that around. If he can somehow, win 4 matches and make it
to a MC final, then I think he has a good chance. It probably
won't be easy, but when has Rafa done things the easy way?

Great post general.
The problem is lack of fitness, lack of match play, and lack of
practice.
I don't know how you overcome all 3 factors in such a short
period of time.
He is a top pro. He would have gone to Casablanca if he wanted
this bad enough.
Tony is right about one thing anyway: he needs luck this time
around.
