Nadal Accuses ATP of Not Caring About Players’ Health
Whether
or not Rafael Nadal’s uncharacteristically feisty mood was down to
losing a clay-court final to somebody other than Novak Djokovic or Roger
Federer for the first time in his career, only he will know. But the
seven times French Open champion and former world no.1 vented his ire on
the ATP World Tour for what he perceives to be: ‘a lack of care about
players’ health.’

Sharapova threatening her position.
