Have you, Pamela, by any chance ever met Rafael Nadal. Not to say that what you stated about him isn’t true; but you are speaking as if you know the guy personally inside out. I don’t think he is close to being “the most profoundly gifted and exciting tennis player to ever have played the game”, and I certainly don’t think that somebody who has never met him can come to such concrete conclusions on his character. I think he’s a great player with a lot of talent. I give him credit for the great things that he has accomplished; but let’s not get too far ahead of ourselves now, and make him out to be Superman.

Raphael Nadal is without question the most profoundly gifted and
exciting tennis player to ever have played the game. I cannot wait
for his return. The promise of his return in Montreal has kept me going all summer but it took weeks to get over his absence at . His heart break with the pending divorce of his two
most trusted family members is really painful for him and he was
smart to take some time to heal both physically and mentally. The game will give him some singular comfort and allow him to focus on something he loves and away from the harsh reality of his
parents breakup. I only hope his parents can resolve their differences and restore their relationship. Rafa is a wonderful person of uncharacteristic humility and a great competitive spirit.
I know he can roar back in these coming events. He has the upbringing and character for greatness. He can do it. I care more
about this person than the tennis pro.

Thank you for your wonderful article.

Nima,
this is not Spain’s Next Top Soap Opera,
relax with the cheesy wording and tacky writing,
nobody’s falling for it.
Your message may have been made is a few simple words.
Keep it up.
Thanks

It seems some of the male readers are uncomfortable with this insightful essay on the emotional pandemonium of the children of divorce. Whether it’s a neighbor or a world class athlete, it’s tough emotionally.

Rafael may be a killer on court, but is a gentle spirit. Thanks for recognizing that a guy with so much soul feels the pain of his parents’ breakup.

I could barely get through the first paragraph. Please tone down the purple prose.

I think that Rafa will be back stronger and better than before. It has been in his makeup since he was a child. He can handle whatever comes his way,. Vamos Rafa
