Get a grip KrajicekRichard Krajicek, BBC Radio 5 live
"I think we might have seen the last of Rafa Nadal on grass. He has won two titles at Wimbledon, and he plays well on grass, but he needs to be able to move. Yesterday, he couldn't move. It was good for Steve Darcis that he didn't choke, but if Rafa had been able to move, it would have been a different game.
"I saw it in Rafa's eyes yesterday; he knew this tournament was over for him. He lost that fire a little bit. Seeing that, I felt a little tear in my eye."

I agree.
It was the 'tear in the eye'.
Seems as though Rafa is going tpo struggle on hard surfaces though. Will be interesting to see if he is fit and how he fares in the US.
Getting dumped out 2 years in a row at Wimbledon suggests it is a big issue.Modifying post.

Such a shame as he's such a talented player.
How he fares in the hard court season will be interesting as the talent is still clearly there, I mean prior to Wimbledon his record was 9 tournaments played, 9 finals and 7 wins which is phenomenal but only Indian Wells I think was on a Hard Court.
I really hope he can get himself fit enough to play on at the highest level and I guess he's not made excuses only the papers etc.... maybe it was just a really, really bad day at the office (I don't think it was!)
