Rafa was gracious as ever when in defeat. He has won so much already so he’s thankful for everything. I’m calm with Rafa and his losses now after he won his number 20 slam. Of course there will be some reg […]

So Tsitsipas or Medvedev for the final? Medvedev has overtaken Thiem as no.3 now; if he wins the title, he’ll replace Rafa as world no.2; not bad!

Medvedev even has a chance at number one if he plays and w […]

True that Rafa is getting older and physically he’ll be going downhill. Also, the youngsters are hitting their prime, so all the more tougher for the big three to win.

I feel that had it not for COVID 19, p […]

I counted, from 2020 till now, Rafa had lost 9 TBs and won 8, that’s pretty poor, winning less than 50% of TBs played! He lost all three TBs to Thiem at AO last year, comparable to Fed vs Djoko at Wimbledon 2019!

Rafa said his back was ok, so no he’s physically fit.

Nah, had Rafa beat Tsitsipas in straight sets, he would have a good chance of beating Medvedev in the SF. Djoko isn’t impressive this AO, losing a set at least in each match from R2 onwards, so Rafa does have a g […]

Hope Tsitsipas has enough energy for the SF. He has a walkover in the previous round so maybe he will be ok physically.

I like Tsitsipas, hope he does well here after beating Rafa. Well done Tsitsipas; too […]

Well a second AO is not meant to be for Rafa! Tsitsipas serves lights out to hold serve and he’s the better player in the fourth and fifth sets. Rafa has himself to blame for losing a winnable match! […]

I think Medvedev will reach the final here; Djoko will struggle all the way yet wins the trophy in the end; that’s basically him.

Had Rafa won this match in three, he would have a good chance vs Medvedev or e […]

Rafa is going to lose this I’m afraid. He looks the more tired of the two; he’s serving poorly, having problems holding serves. If Tsitsipas wins the fourth set, he will most likely win this match!

Rafa is […]

Why in the third set TB Rafa couldn’t serve like this fifth game of set four? Had he served like this, he would most likely win the match already!

Rafa has the bad habit of thinking too much while serving, a […]

Medvedev must be feeling happy that this match is getting longer and longer. Medvedev will win the SF relatively easily if it’s against Tsitsipas; against this Rafa I think Medvedev has a good chance of winning t […]

Rafa is poor in TBs nowadays; his serves are not helping him. Hope he wins this in four, now that he loses the third set in TB. Rafa not helping himself by going to TBs.

In 2019 Rafa met Tsitsipas in the SF, this time it’s in the QF. Medvedev or Rublev in the SF would be tougher than a young Tsitsipas in the SF (2019). If Rafa can beat them, he will be ready for the final.

If Rafa reaches the final, I think he will win it this time. But, Rafa has to reach the final first!

Rafa really has to up his first serve % from now on. Tsitsipas is a tough opponent but beatable, if Rafa […]

Zverev was disappointing to say the least. I mean how many times he broke serve first in each set (except set two) and yet he couldn’t hold on to the advantage and then lost the set!

His game lacks finesse, […]

Not asleep; it’s day time here. I watched the whole match; Rafa played well except that his first serve % needed improvement.

I’m just glad Rafa didn’t need to go to a fourth set; good win for Rafa, Tsitsipas next.

Foggy really played well against De Minaur. De Minaur has no weapon to hurt Foggy; an easy win for Foggy. Foggy is such a shot maker, I hope Rafa is ready for the fight!

Foggy will be a tough opponent for Rafa; I expect at least a four sets match, maybe five. Hope Rafa comes through that and reaches the QF.

Well done Rafa! On to the next round! Vamos!
