15.02.2010 - The Spaniard failed to retain his Australian Open crown and lost crucial ranking points after he was forced to retire hurt in the quarter final against Andy Murray, immediately prompting fresh concerns about his long-term fitness.  A similar injury at the French Open in Roland Garros last June saw him miss out on Queens and Wimbledon and many pundits feel he will now struggle to regain the form that made him the best in the world and nemesis of current Number One, Roger Federer, for several years. Nadal Sr says the world ranking is not a concern, however. “The most important thing is his physical shape and there was something clearly wrong with the knee so it is best to look at it again. Second is not as good as top, but fitness is the main priority at present” insisted Toni.
