Rafael is Ready

He's back. After two months of sitting out of tennis, Rafael Nadal is back and ready to play again. He will play in next week's Rogers Cup and an ATP World Tour Masters 100 tennis tournament. I bet Roger Federer has loved the absence of Nadal, but tennis fans have not. Federer has climbed back to the top when Nadal has been out. Other players such as Andy Murray and Andy Roddick (everyone remembers Wimbledon) have also helped their status quo in Nadal's absence. But now that he's back, it's great for tennis: all the fans love the Federer-Nadal matchups, even though Roddick did a great job filling in for the 6-time major champion at Wimbledon. I think having Nadal back will have many more tennis fans watching, especially the US Open, which starts on August 31st.
