David might miss the Olympics

Argentinian tennis star David Nalbandian could still miss the Olympic Games, according to his physiotherapist.
The 26-year-old's participation has already been announced by the Argentinian Olympic Committee, but the 2002 Wimbledon finalist is still affected by muscular injuries and remains a doubt for both Beijing and the Davis Cup semi-final against Russia in September.
Nalbandian's physio Diego Rodriguez told Ole newspaper "David is going through a recovery program. He hasn't played tennis for two weeks and has done some work in the swimming pool and on the bicycle."
He added: "He will compete again when he is in good shape."
However, Rodriguez did not rule out the option of surgery if the recovery programme does not prove successful.
He said: "Having an operation is one of the options, but that will be analysed by the medical staff.
"To reach this point, the result of the current treatment would have to be discouraging."

This really doesn't sound too good...

It is disappointing but it sounds like the right way to go about this. I hope it doesn't come to an operation.
