Bill Norris, longest serving ATP trainer who treated Rafa Nadal in younger days thinks he has done right thing in missing Olympics

“It’s Rafa’s nature to try & please everyone but has to think of himself,” says Norris. “He has chronic tendonitis from over-use.”
— Richard Ingham Evans (@Ringham7) July 23, 2012
Norris says problems arose from Nadal’s style of play and feels it is essential he takes rest & minimises hardcourt play.
