Rafa wins and into R4. Vamos Rafa!

Yeah, I won’t be surprised Zverev may lose this. He almost lost to Herbert in the previous round.

I just use the last word of their names, that’s all. Only for ARV, I use ARV as Vinolas I sometimes couldn’t remember the spelling of it.

Khachanov? He is not in good form, don’t think he will pose any challenge to Djoko. Garin not good enough either, lacking in experience.

There’s this guy called Busta, whom Djoko very much dislike to face, […]

I only know that Sinner won the Next Gen finals last year beating Alex De Minar in the final. He may play well on clay but I doubt he’ll give Rafa any problem unless Rafa plays horribly.

I think the threat t […]

Don’t forget both Rublev and Tsitsipas had to travel from Hamburg to Paris after finishing their final match in Hamburg on Sunday, hence both did not have enough rest nor enough time to get used to the courts in […]

Yes he could; he finally won the match in five. Once Tsitsipas raised his level, he’s able to beat Munar as he simply had more varieties in his game.

The first two sets he stayed at the baseline to rally w […]

Rafa played well enough to win, considering it’s his first match in the rebuilt arena against an opponent he met for the first time.

His opponent (can’t spell it right his name) has a very good serve -both fir […]

I like your predictions Ricky! 👍

Exactly Amy, it’s quite sickening to find someone always sniping at the Rafa fans.

Whatever weather Rafa can win! It’s not the weather or the opponents, it’s himself. He won 12 and lost just 2, that should tell us how dominant he is at RG.

Rafa’s draw is ok as both Zverev and Thiem have no match plays on clay, may be still recovering from their USO exploits, and so may be vulnerable during the first few rounds of the draw.

Djoko’s path to the […]

Why are you upset about Rafa not going for the USO? If he went, he would have problem defending his FO title, given his age and that the FO is only two weeks away from the end of the USO, unless you expect him to […]

Djoko may not reach the final! He hadnt in 2017, 2018 and 2019, so it’s not a sure thing that he’ll reach the final.

I’ve doubts about Thiem on clay this year as he has no warm ups, and the FO is only two weeks […]

Of course Rafa is still the favourite. Don’t expect him to play like crap at the FO the way he played at the Rome QF. When it comes to a slam, Rafa rarely, in fact never, play like crap.

Rafa is too experienced not to realise that! I mean he won 12 FO titles, surely he knows what he has to do against his opponents. He has beaten Fed, Djoko, Stan – all of them are FO champions now – and has beaten […]

I agree with Amy.

I mean, Djoko is not invincible, and I feel his draw at both Cincy and Rome were easy in that all the top seeds in his draw fell by the way side. He had not faced and beat a top ten player […]

Schwarzman’s problem is that during Djoko’s service games, he tends to stand so far back behind the baseline, hence his shots tend to be short, giving Djoko opportunities to move forward, and also drop shot Sch […]

Bageled? If Rafa is good enough to reach the final, beating Schwartzman and then Shapo, you think he would be bageled by Djoko? Djoko played poorly the first few games, Rafa would have won the first set by now, […]

I find that young guy from Italy – Lorenzo Musetti – who beat Stan and then Kei in Rome, quite an impressive player and he looked a bit like young Rafa (with long hair but a bit skinny, unlike the chubby faced […]
