I hope for Thiem to win and be in the final. If Thiem is in the final, he may have the experience to beat Djoko (at the FO) to help him get his first slam title.

I wish Thiem all the best, for I find him a […]

Exactly. We criticise Rafa because we think he’s human, not a god; he makes mistakes that we think he should not and hope he improves next time.

It’s not like we only love him because he wins, it’s because we […]

Hi Mira, I’m not sure about Kyrgios and the draw. I just blame it on luck of the draw.

I would think if Djoko is given Rafa’s draw, he too would have problem first with Kyrgios and then Thiem. It’s just […]

Rafa had his chances in two of the four finals which he lost – in 2012 and 2017 finals when he’s a break up in the fifth set, but at such crucial moments his opponents took their chances to turn the table a […]

The thing about Sasha not making past the QF of a slam – that’s because he consumed too much energy during the early rounds, needing five sets so often to beat the early round opponents, so when he’s at R4 or QF, […]

To me it’s the ATP Cup that’s too much. Fed is wise not to be involved and at least Fed is physically fresh enough to go the distance in his matches and still could win them.

Rafa had to play six singles and […]

The problem with Rafa is that he has reverted back to playing clay court tennis on HC! I was hopeful that after how he played at the DC, he would adopt that kind of play going forward playing on the HCs, but no, […]

No Sanju, it’s Thiem with five more points – 148 vs 143.

No, I think it’s Thiem who won five more points, not Rafa.

Rafa had no business losing the first set when he’s serving for it, and no business in losing all three TBs, that’s how poor he was in the match […]

Yeah I also pity this grass hater guy, must be living a sad life, fill with hatred.

So happy that Rafa leaves the AO not injured, and doesn’t need to face Djoko too. Thanks to Thiem for saving Rafa from further grinding and from any injury, and yes what a relief for many of us his fans, that R […]

At least I’m spared the nightmare of Rafa getting hammered by Djoko in a slam final.

Rafa just has to forget about winning the AO, just concentrates on winning the FO, and if possible one more Wimbledon a […]

It’s over! Rafa lost three TBs in one match!

Rafa playing like this don’t deserve to win! Congrats to Thiem, he deserves to win this match! Well done!

Rafa has himself to blame, for losing a winnable mat […]

To me Sasha is playing better than Thiem here, so maybe Sasha has better chances vs Djoko.

Exactly! Better let Thiem or Sasha deal with Djoko in the final. I believe they have better chances than Rafa, against Djoko.

Rafa should take a break and works on his BH DTL, his serves and his ROS. He’s p […]

Nah, Rafa is playing badly by his standard and Thiem is playing well throughout. Rafa was even serving for the first set but as usual turned tentative and started missing his first serves and then got broken. […]

Rafa can only hit CC BH so everyone playing against him is expecting the ball to come CC right back from him. It’s getting very predictable, no wonder Djoko could beat him all the time on the HCs since USO2013.

Fed vs Djoko, if Fed is fit to play, I’m sure he’ll try his very best. I think it’ll be something like AO2016 result – Djoko in four.

So Rafa lost a winnable set and that set itself takes 60+ minutes! Not looking good for Rafa!

As usual, and as expected, Rafa loses his serve while serving for the set. He will have himself to blame for keep making this type of silly mistakes, and then loses the set!
