Rafa Vows To Be Ready For 2012

World No. 2 Rafael Nadal bowed out of the season finale in the group stages for only the second time in five appearances on Thursday and admitted afterwards that, by his own lofty standards, it had been a disappointing end to the season.
The Spaniard has been trophy-less since winning a record-equalling sixth Roland Garros crown in June, and suffered major disappointment at the hands of Novak Djokovic in the Wimbledon and US Open finals.
"This end of the year wasn't easy for me," said Nadal after falling to Jo-Wilfried Tsonga in a Group B decider at the Barclays ATP World Tour Finals. "That's hard to accept. But at the same time that's given me a little bit more illusion and little bit more of a goal for the beginning of 2012. This year was a tough year for me. I think it was a positive one for moments, but at the same time it was hard for moments.  [I have to] accept what happened during all the season and I need time to think."
