This will be the weirdest clay season. From match to match, we won't know if it will be clay-court-maestro-Rafa or weak-knees-Rafa...

[OixKKcj1]

According to Spanish sports newspaper Marca, Rafa may withdraw from Barcelona because of his knee:

http://www.marca.com/2010/04/18/teni...271598103.html (In Spanish)

I hope he's withdrawing as a precautionary measure and not because of an actual injury.
