Tennis Update: April 11, 2013

The US Davis Cup Team is going against Sweden, led by the Williams sisters. But another thing about the Davis Cup is that Switzerland is upset that Federer isn't helping more with winning the team events in the early rounds. That's kinda unfair, I agree. He should play, but still, you have to give him credit for even participating sometimes because it's a voluntary thing. He doesn't have to do it. He already has hundreds of matches every year and that Davis Cup thing is really tiring. Plus now he has a family to spend time with. He's 31 years old and wants to spend that time watching his kids growing up instead of just playing tennis all the time. It's only fair for him. He's not only an athlete, but a family person too.
Also Rafael Nadal says his knee is sore, but he can keep going. He wasn't expecting it to hurt like this, but he says he will try to power through this. That's good, but really, even I'm worried about his knee. He's played hard for a few months and it's already hurting again. He really has bad knees and that makes me worried. I hope he doesn't have to cut his career short due to injury. You can tell he's really passionate about tennis and not being able to play would be a huge loss in his life. Oh well, good luck to him in his training and revitalizing.
