title on his favoured clay. Share this article: Comments ( 12 ) Welcome back Rafa nice to see you on the mend. I am sure Andy and Novak will be pleased to see you on the training courts again. Look forward to great rivalry between the three of You once again. Merry Christmas and Happy New year. Actually I haven't missed him at all. Nadal is a great player of course, but its time for new blood. That goes for a Federer too - god he's a boring sanctimonious git! I love me who do you love... Come on Novak and Andy!! Loving their rivalry - friends too... The sooner Rafa gets back and renews his rivalry with Djokovic the better. They've produced tennis on a different athletic level against one another so I hope he gets back soon. As wonderful as the men's game is right now, Rafa brings an energy to tournaments like nobody else. I think 2013 has the potential to be the best year for tennis ever. Top 4 men, Delpo regaining his level, Berdych winning the Davis Cup might give him the push he needs and the women's game starting to settle down. It's all set up beautifully.
