I’m crying! OMG, Rafa wins the title!!

Thank God Rafa won’t suffer another heartbreak here! I’m so very very happy for Rafa!

I’m crying! Come on Rafa! Please win this!

Yes Rafa! Now we have a match! Vamos!

Yes vamos! Rafa wins the third set!

Alright now Rafa, go win the set! At least make it more competitive! Vamos Rafa!

If not for Rafa’s serving woes, we may have a good match here. No one could foresee Rafa serving so poorly in the final! Don’t understand why, perhaps going for too much because Meddy is a better returner of ser […]

Meddy just has to hold serve and wait for Rafa to serve poorly to break serve. He’s almost there now.

Rafa is one player who needs lots of match play before a slam, in order to have a chance to win; he’s good enough to beat players before the final but facing the other finalist across the net, well that’s ano […]

Exactly, it’s more of Rafa’s own undoing; should Rafa win the second set without playing the TB, we may have a match here. Now, it’s game over!

All I ask for now, is for Rafa to win a set. At least makes the final score looks better than losing in straight sets. It’s not like Meddy is playing lights out tennis, he’s also making errors, it’s just that […]

Sad to say Rafa showing his age here, not able to win a winnable set here. I doubt he’s able to go five sets here, Meddy is full of confidence by now.

Meddy is obviously the better player here; Rafa has himself to blame for serving poorly to lose serve when he should be winning the second set half an hour ago!

Meddy deserves the title here, and will be no. […]

Rafa is making all kinds of errors, it’s so hard to watch! Where’s his FH DTL shots? Why always going CC? He can’t even string two good serves together!

Please hold serve here, if not you are done! Vamos […]

So sad, Rafa loses serve yet again! Why? Why is he not making his first serves? Too nervous?

Sigh, Rafa’s serve is letting him down again! Another poor service game to lose serve!

See, calm down and then solve the problem! Rafa trying to serve big hence the missing first serves. He has to make Meddy run, and serves his second serves letting them bounce low so that Meddy will hit them into […]

Rafa’s serve is the problem as always. I think he plays the wrong strategy of rallying with Meddy, perhaps thinking that Meddy may be tired. He’s hitting to Meddy’s Bh too often I feel.

He has to chang […]

I agree with you VR, the match is on Rafa’s racket. If he comes out all guns blazing and manages to win the first two sets, he will have a good chance of winning the match.

I know Rafa is known for his dip i […]

Agreed, well said! Rafa wins in four sets!

Also feel that prime Rafa > prime Meddy on any surface, when he is able to beat a prime Fed or a prime Djoko on the HCs, their best surface.

Rafa is an experienced big match player. I think he’s pacing himself nicely match by match, not pushing himself too much in each match unless absolutely necessary (like in that QF).

Note that he always came […]
