And the GOAT is practicing ahead of his clay court season.
Looks like his back feels much better.
But he's elected to skip Monte-Carlo next week. He'll see him in Madrid.
And he's jumping into the fire as he'll play there as the defending champ.
He also has Sf showings to defend at Rome and Roland Garros.
He's taken the approach of resting and playing the big ones...
At some point that's gonna start backfiring on him, I would think.
But we are talking about Roger Federer so he'll probably shut me up.
Rafael Nadal is Seeded 5th for 2013 Wimbledon
The seedings have been released for the coming Championships and...
Rafael Nadal has been placed as the tournaments 5th seed.
Wimbledon ignored giving Rafa a deserving discretionary bump.
Most in the tennis world think he should at least be the 4th seed.
There is one word to use here: dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.
Let's see... Rafa is a 2-time champ and 3-time runner-up.
4th seed David Ferrer has been a quarterfinalist exactly once.
Moreover, Rafa has beaten David all 4 times they've played this year.
AND - we don't even need to compare their 2013's. It's no contest.
Well, as payback I hope Rafa gets placed in Murray's quarter...
Only then will Wimby get that they've made a serious blunder.
It's worth repeating: dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb, dumb.
