Nadal is sort of in a catch-22 right now: he needs to up his ranking which means he needs to play more....but he damages his body playing more and would benefit from a reduced schedule....which ensures he can't improve his ranking.
More than anything he needs a new approach to playing tennis and a new coach most likely to do that. Not sure he can swallow his pride and do that. But the grinder style that got him here is the style that ensures he can't stay healthy. The reason Federer is still going at 34 is he adapted his game to try and play more quick points. We'll see if Rafa can do the same.
