Tennis: Rafa diagnosed with tendinitis, may miss Davis Cup final

 Word comes today that Rafael Nadal may be doubtful for the Davis Cup final versus Argentina.

The top-ranked baller, who withdrew from the Paris Masters with a knee injury and subsequently withdrew from the Masters Cup, had medical test performed on his right knee and it was diagnosed with tendinitis. Rafa is planning to have treatment done on the knee through Saturday and another batch of tests on Monday.

Bad news for Spain. It would've been a tough match anyway based on the surface picked by the Argentines but without Rafa Spain's chances are minimal at best.

Stay tuned...
