Federer Is Concerned About Nadal’s Injury

The extended injury absence of Rafael Nadal is disturbing to Roger Federer, who is concerned about the state of his longtime rival who has not hit a ball in anger since late June.

"I was going to write him and check on him, because I can't believe he's been out that long," Federer said of the former No. 1.

Time To Rest Is Precious For Federer

Roger Federer will take what he can get by the way of post-Olympic breaks, with the Swiss top seed preparing for a mid-week start in his bid for a fifth title at the Cincinnati masters.

The world No. 1 said that even the few days he spent away from the courts last week after losing the London games gold medal match to Andy Murray was welcome. But he's in the mental tunnel now, concentrating on the run to the US Open which starts in less than a fortnight.
