"Here is a link to video...It's in Mallorquin, but just by watching the images you can follow it. It's called "Always the knees" and when it's not one, it's the other one but Rafa is calmed, the new treatment that they have found works perfectly. They used it for the first time after Monte Carlo, before Rome after having some problems in Miami. Rafa explains what Ruiz Cotorro has explained, it goes directly to the tendon, it worked great but it requires time, it is painful but effective. That is why he cant play the Davis round vs France and will return in the best conditions possible and if they consider it necessary he will skip the Masters of Toronto."~~~Our dear friend Ana...(thank you!!)
