Hi everyone.
If Rafa can find some confidence, he’ll do a lot of damage. Keen to see how the new serve unfolds in match conditions and I am 100% sure Rafa and his team have been working on developing a more aggressive One-two punch.
Novak obv the favourite but the court plays fast now and even he will likely find it tough to reach the final
Rafa seems to have a lot of confidence going into this!
vr,
So glad to see you here! I hope you will consider joining in the discussion. I am just thrilled to see Rafa on the court again! Nishi can maybe get sense of where he is at. I also want to get a look at that serve. I am hoping that Rafa will get done good results with the serve and he can be more offensive and feel more confident. Just as long as he is healthy.
🙏
Stupid autocorrect garbling what I posted.
I meant to say that maybe I can get a sense of where Rafa is at. I hope he can get some good results with the new serve.,
Vamos Rafa!
At least the Eurosport commentators, Bradnam and McMillan, have just acknowledged, live on air, that Rafa’s record at the AO has been blighted by injuries. A lot of people who put him down simply because he’s only won it once prefer to ignore the reasons why.
^^^
Sometimes I wonder if some people actually watch tennis or they just simply look at the results.
Yoooohoooo Nny!!….U watch your darling playing now?Ohohohoho!!….It’s going to be a straight sets match today it seems!…Thank God!….It’s so hot out there!
Urgh!!!Spoke too soon!!hehehehe…
MA,
Hey! Great to see you here! I thought things were going well and then Rafa was broken serving for the match. It don’t want him out there too long for his first match,
Get this done now Rafa!
Hey Nny!!!….whooooohoooooo!!!…..Yess!!….Mission accomplished 4 today!!!!
How r u Nny??Hope u’re okay & happy & smiling…your baby’s win!!!!!…hehhe….Oh!thank God!…Match not drag too long too!…Hugs to u Nny!!
Vamos Rafa!
Good first match back overall, against a game opponent with a good game plan. Broken at love when serving for the match, what else is new? Sometimes I think Rafa just likes to torture us!
Second match will be tougher. I assume it’ll be Struff, who has a big serve and can play well at times. But Rafa should also be tougher!
Ramara….I agree with u that Rafa loves to torture us!…Urhh!!….
Hey!…I’d be more afraid of Ebden rather than Struff…not only Struff has been lay low for months now…but Ebden is local too…and i think he’s much more dangerous than Duckworth…much more so if he were to play in front of his own crowd…But i think Rafa still will win(insyaallah in straight sets) if he keep on being healthy & no setback whatsoever…
Struff far more dangerous
I didn’t make a bracket this year, but I had the first couple rounds down in my notes a couple days ago. Gonna complete my picks now and have em up soon. Gotta keep the tradition going even w being back at college 😂
One of Ricky’s SFs, Anderson, bites the dust.

Ricky’s predictions, especially for the top half of the draw, is pretty good but for Nadal’s half, he couldn’t be wider of the mark. He’s now run out of players in that section.
