Report I read said out 10 days.  Isn't he usually out that long after the AO anyways?  I hope he comes back strong again like last year.  A little home cookin and he was off and running to 3 Majors.  Lets hope for a repeat.

yeah, no doubt, but a torn muscle is never good.

You are right.  If he doesn't let it heal properly, it will be a nagging injury all year long.  The hope is that he will fooow his doctors orders.  Get the rest, heal the wound and come back strong.  Nothing nagging.

He should've retired, but there was too much on the line. Expectations were on him. He was like Ali with a broken jaw.

That was what I loved about his interview.  He didn't like the fact that he retired last year, and didn't want to do it again.  True fighter.  Big difference between him and say.....Murray.  No fight in that guy or Wawrinka for that matter.

News says out 10 days.  If he is superhuman maybe only 10 days.

maybe they mean he's out just 10 days with no activity, and he'll ease back into it. But I doubt he'll be 100% in just 10 days time coming off a torn muscle.

Good thing the clay court season is not in full swing.

But once it does, the beast will be unleashed again.  Go Rafa.

Does anybody give Rafa a chance at winning the French just coming back from this injury?

Totally and completely.  Look what he did last year after coming back from an early season injury.  No problem.  Rafa will continue to add to his GS legacy.

didnt he say it was impossible to win a slam. the media just added a rafa slam because it could have been 4 in a row for him. I dont think he expected to win.
