			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Rafael Nadal seems to be pushing for a change in the ATP ranking system. At the moment the ATP rankings take in 1 year of results, but Nadal wants to see 2 years used instead (which is used in Golf). Nadal has said the change would lengthen  careers by allowing big names  to play less often and better protecting  injured players. This all makes sense, but there are a lot of downsides. If players want to play less and earn as much money, the only person to lose out is the fans. Fans will only have limited opportunities to see their favourite players play, which I think will drive fans away from tennis and towards more active top player sports (such as Football).</p>
<p>Ohh.. and did I mention that Rafael Nadal would be the main player to benifit from the change. He would becoming world number 1 again!</p>

<p>p.s. Is it about time someone else started a new tour?<br />

<p>There have been rumours going around the net that Rafael Nadal is in trouble with his tax. However, all these reports are false and this has been confirmed by Rafael on his website.</p>
<p>Basically, Rafael hired an accounting firm to create a new company to take advantage of a Rasque region tax break, which means he would pay a lot less tax on his image rights. It seems like the Basque tax authorities are investigating, but it all seems above board.<br />

<p>Novak Djokovic had an amazing Australian Open 2012 and it was capped off with a win in the final over Rafael Nadal 5-7 6-4 6-2 6-7 7-5. Novak is again the top of the world and has now won the last three Grand Slam titles in a row.</p>
<p>Unlike other <a href="http://thetennistimes.com">tennis news</a> sources Im not going to give you a big run down of the final.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Poor old Rafael Nadal broke down to tears when he injured his knee before the Australian Open 2012. Its amazing what a few weeks can do and a shit load of pain killers!</p>
<blockquote><p>“I explained that after my match on the first,  what happened the Sunday before on my knee, something very strange,&#8221; he  said. &#8221;But that&#8217;s why, because Sunday afternoon, 24 hours to play my  first match, I was in my room crying because I believe I didn&#8217;t had the  chance to play Melbourne. So it was a very, very tough situation for me,  these hours. Two weeks later I am here in the finals, so is a dream for  me because having very bad expectations 24 hours before the first  match, and now two weeks later I am playing well.”<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/tenniscom-news/%7E4/RJNdGpQqKjw" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p></blockquote>

<p>Rafael Nadal has a strong win in the first round of the Australian Open 2012, but he did suffer a knee injury. Nadal played  with a heavy strap on his knee. He said an MRI revealed no damage.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I am really confident that having the worst  feeling that I ever had in my knee yesterday and today was able to  play,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I have fantastic hope that gonna happen the same for  after tomorrow.&#8221;<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/%7Er/tenniscom-news/%7E4/tDNXzv31Fpc" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p></blockquote>
<p>Rafael is taking a huge amount of anti-inflammatory  medication and is hoping to be fit to play the second round match. However, I wouldnt place a bet on him to win the title if I was you!<br />
