Disappointed

I should be watching Rafa
In my Rafa hat and shirt,
But Wimbledon is at a loss
Because Nadal is hurt.

He won the quarterfinals
With an injury to cause
Some pain when he was serving
And it seems that gave him pause.

So he withdrew and all his fans,
Of course including me,
Are disappointed, knowing
In the finals he won’t be.

Yes, indeed. A shame he couldn't make it through this tournament. Rafa's a real warrior. :) gw

You are so quick off the mark with the right words in the right place at the right time, you should be writing the Sports Page! Aloha!

sorry about that. I do not follow sports at all, but I did, I would feel awful too

Yep. But, unless he bowed out, the consequences could have been devastating and he might never have seen a finals again!
