Oh and congrats to Fritz, he seems a nice guy, and he’s so happy (in tears) winning this IW Masters title! It means a lot to win Masters title(s); it’s good to see younger players are starting to win them now (th […]

It’s quite frustrating seeing Rafa playing this way with so many mistakes, but he’s struggling to win his matches at IW this year. He having come this far even without playing his best tennis is already imp […]

After these two hurdles, I’m now worried about his next opponent, most probably it will be Alcaraz.

Rafa is playing with confidence now, so he’s calm and problem solving his way through his matches, when […]

I’m hoping for Rafa to win this title. He can then take a good rest of about three weeks before MC starts.

I’ll stay positive about his foot issue, I think if he is not feeling ok, he can withdraw from this […]

Vamos Rafa! Comes back from a break down to win in the end, what a fighter!

I have just watched the last few games, Rafa looks ok to me, movement wise. I don’t think there’s injury issue, just a bit of […]

Er, how so? He hasn’t missed that many slams, only USO in 2017 and AO2022.

In fact he’s the most consistent among the big three; Fed had been consistent for some time until 2016 when he started to miss some […]

I believe Rafa and his team know best what to do. If Rafa continues to play like this, maybe he can play both IW and Miami and even wins both!

The two events are played over four weeks, so there’s time to r […]

Yes, congrats Rafa for a fourth title at Acapulco, but not without some nerve!

What is it that Rafa keeps losing serve when serving for the match – at the AO final and also now? I hope he can overcome this […]

No worry, there’s still IW coming, and maybe Miami too should Rafa decide to play there. Tsitsipas doesn’t look like he’s playing all that well, he’s a bit too inconsistent so I think Rafa can beat him.

I t […]

Ha ha about the predictions!

I know Tsitsipas is/was so inconsistent, that he might lose this and sure enough he did just that. He looked impressive in all his previous three matches but Norrie was playing […]

You’re right, I always think that Rafa Vs Meddy, Rafa is the favourite to win. Meddy Vs others, it’s hard to say but most of the times Meddy wins that’s why he’s no.1 now.

Wins two masters before turning 19 (IE before May this year)? Very difficult to accomplish that! There are the top five players who could and would beat him at the Masters.

He maybe promising now and most […]

Rafa will be playing at Acapulco and IW and maybe Miami, but he may lose early in one or even two of them, therefore he may not be overplaying. Should he play well to win any of them, he would be match ready to […]

I hope he fixes his knee problem and comes back to play tennis again. He’s 33 going on 34, should still be able to play some good tennis if his knee issue is resolved. With advancement in medical sciences, he […]

Perhaps Rafa had too much respect for Meddy and his game. He might be nervous too, hence couldn’t serve well his first serve, giving Meddy opportunities to break serve several times in set one and two.

It’s […]

Agreed. I was with you then during the AO, thinking that Rafa would win the final in four sets, but none of us could foresee that Rafa would have a bad serving day at the final. We are not complaining now that […]

I do! It’s his destiny, just like it’s Djoko’s destiny to win that 2012 AO final even when Rafa was leading in the final set!

It’s also destined that Djoko would not win the Olympics singles gold, the USO […]

I think Meddy was physically more tired than Rafa because of the long matches that he played. The match Vs FAA had taken a lot out of him I believe, and that’s why he was agitated during the Tsitsipas match when […]

Yes fairy tale stuff, especially when his serve deserted him for almost three sets of the match.

I said it in one of my earlier posts, that I feel Meddy was not physically fresh, and it turned out to be true. […]

So much heart, Rafa! I love you so much! What a warrior!
