Nadal gets ahead With knee treatment
Via Marca.com
Rafael Nadal's season ended last week in Basel, where he lost in the quarter-finals to 17-year-old Croatian wunderkind Borna Coric, the Spaniard isn't sitting around playing tiddlywinks. He is currently undergoing knee treatment in Vitoria, in the north of Spain.
Nadal has once again put himself in the hands of Mikel Sánchez, a growth factor injection specialist with whom he has been working since 2010 to ease the chronic tendinitis in both of his knees.
The Majorcan usually has the injections shortly before getting his pre-season underway so as to allow over a week to shake off any aftereffects, but on this occasion he has pushed the treatment forward owing to his impending appendix operation in Barcelona. This surgery, scheduled for Monday, will keep Nadal out for three weeks anyhow, so he could ill afford further downtime prior to starting his preparations for the coming campaign, which he will kick off at the Mubadala World Tennis Championship exhibition tournament in Abu Dhabi.
Nadal has also been keeping busy off the court. Prior to travelling to Basel he played in an invitational golf event run in Provence (France) by Richard Mille, one of his sponsors, and he recently signed an agreement with the Cosentino group to help build a tennis academy.
