This is why I blame the journos more than Rafa about inventing injuries
for Rafa. Here are the questions asked to Rafa after losing to Berdych:
Q. Were you feeling at all unwell or unfit today?
RAFAEL NADAL: No. I am feeling okay. Just was not my day. I didn't play with the right intensity, with the right rhythm, and the opponent played better than me. In sport, when you are going to play against an opponent, was a day that the opponent played better than me.
Q. The TV showed you taking a pill at some stage early in the third.
RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, happened nothing. I am feeling well. That's it. That's part of the things that happen sometimes during the matches, but nothing important to say.
Here Rafa is partly to blame for suggesting "nothing important to say"
to hint that there was something wrong with him upon being goaded.
