"Three Weeks until New York"
Nadal, who returns to Montreal after losing the first at Wimbledon, pending summer lived his knee, and no bandages, and training with Zimonjic, Djokovic friend
The U.S. Open. For six weeks, the last big season (from August 26) appeared as a fixed idea on the horizon of Rafael Nadal and his left knee. After losing in the first round at Wimbledon, where he played without daring to bend the joint as much as required under the herb pot, sweat the Mallorcan summer with the patella ostentatiously bandaged. This is a player who returned to competition in February after seven months injured, one contestant who has since won seven of the ten tournaments he has played, one after Wimbledon calmly took back to work for the "uncertainty" that felt for their poor support of London did not end in relapse. Now, Nadal attacked the American tour, which begins Monday at the Montreal Masters, goes through Cincinnati and culminates in the U.S. Open. To address it, designed a growth plan which filled six weeks stoppages to treat his knee and had an unexpected ally. Nenad Zimonjic, former number one doubles partner Novak Djokovic and the Serbian national team.
"I know Rafa and wore long years talking about doing this," Zimonjic said by phone. "We train about seven times, but sometimes in between there were periods of two or three days off for taking up the knee. Sometimes moving more, sometimes moving less, depending on how you feel, but always squeezed to get the most of what each day could yield, "he continued. "It was awesome. It is not easy to train with him. Not many people can sustain their pace, their level, their intensity, ball speed and consistency.I could see that I'm still in good shape! "He added. "In that sense, it is a little different to Djokovic in intensity, although the two have in common their focus and ambition to improve every segment of the game. If Rafa reminds me of someone's personal training and Andre Agassi. "
"We trained seven times. Had driven years talking about it," says the Serbian tennis player.
Accompanied by Joan Forcades, his trainer, Nadal sweeten placed the emphasis on joint impacts. Thus, the resistance worked in antigravity treadmill around him from the waist down with a plastic that allows you to control the amount of air around your legs and float. In search of explosiveness, got into the pool, where the water also acted as a shield while serving Forcades sprints counterweight to its elastic straps holding him. He used the bike. When I began training in double session cement track Manacor became a kind of temple. Until she went on pilgrimage, and dozens of spectators, Guillermo Vilas, four major champion, and Shamil Tarpishev, historical Russian captain of the Davis Cup. Then Zimonjic. Finally, Nadal, Carlos Moya trained with, like when I was a kid.
"A guy like Rafa, who has won everything, you might think ... 'What will I teach do not know me' ... but he is not well, "says Galo Blanco, former No. 40, academy director and witness 4Slam Tennis those summer days. "That is often the difference, that mentality, which often can instill the kids are very young. Had been one of my students, would have advised to observe how [Nadal and Moya] listen, how to share things with each other, how they always want to learn something new. It is the only way to be better every day. "
The Spaniard put the emphasis on the impacts sweeten joint.
Now, at age 27, Nadal returns to star in the bet that led to the final of the U.S. Open in 2010 (champion) and 2011 (runner-up), her latest entries: after seven weeks without playing, get rested but without rhythm before the big tournaments and entrusted to the racket to respond the lungs.

"I technically tennis and more. Now it costs me less than before recovering feelings after a break, "he said in Mallorca. Those who saw her last trainings observed that appeared untouched left knee plasters. Examination of the mark if they return hardcourt pressure dressings and will test the elbow is bothering from land tour. Number four tunes ahead of New York. "The season I face with the illusion of long (...) It is much ahead and we must be well prepared."
