In Rafa's defense, the guy puts more effort into an individual match than any other player out there. Thus he has more injuries than most. I agree an injury excuse could be weak. But in Nadals case, I think it's legit. He's a top player because of his physical exertion. That exertion takes its toll. Cut the poor bastardized some slack. Or see if you can match his effort. And not sustain an injury.

I understand this guy's point. "Well-conditioned" was a poor choice of words, but his point is reasonable. Rafa exerts himself physically more than any other player, and injuries are basically an occupational hazard if you play that way.
