Rafael Nadal, the world number one, suffered a bone edema during the Australia’s Open Final. He lost to Stanislas Wawrinka. That's the conclusion of medical tests that had in Barcelona. Then he will decide whether to participate in the tour clay, which should start on the 10th of February in Buenos Aires, to follow later in Rio de Janeiro. Nadal is now treated with intensive physiotherapy and anti-inflammatory. The recommendation of Dr. Cotorro, his doctor, is he should not train. He recommended complete rest. In the Crown Hotel, Rafael Nadal was woken up late the day after losing the final of the Australia’s Open. During the morning, Rafael Maymó , his physical therapist , begins working on his back taking advantage of the muscles. He already feels the effects of ibuprofen and muscle relaxants taken from the day before. The number one speaks of a ―muscle spasm ―. He says that on his return to Spain, he will have tests to identify the source of a problem that attacked him in Monte Carlo and Montreal 2013.
