David Nalbandian recovers after sickness, takes up training

After losing what ended up being two weeks rather than just one due to illness and starting with some light practice last week, David Nalbandian is now doing "intensive training".

Back home after his stay in Buenos Aires, David began training intensively yesterday afternoon and he's now working in double shifts in order to make his comeback. There's still no news about when and where David is planning to come back. The current news situation still is: Madrid – probably not, Rome – maybe, Nice – could be, in case Rome doesn't work out.

The one thing that is being confirmed now is the impression (from the latest photos and video) that David has dropped quite a bit of weight. David's spokesman Bernardo Ballero: "He suffered a fever and was sick for more than ten days, with a constant temperature of 38.5°C that wouldn't go down. He was able to take up training again last week. So if you see him you'll be surprised because he has lost a lot of weight," the tennis player’s official fan webpage reported.
