Seriously, is Djoko going to play at Adelaide after this ATP Cup? He’s already looking exhausted with the humid conditions here; why play another tournament just before the AO? Is he desperately wanting to get t […]

But Sanju, Rafa needs the matches, he needs to bring his game up to par; he’s been poor lately – poor serving, poor ROS, FH and BH not at desirable level.

If Rafa doesn’t play, and he keeps resting, he won […]

Phew, team Spain wins finally. Rafa needs to be pushed to the brink, to the edge, before playing his best few points to win. PCB contributes a lot to this victory imo.

At least it’s a bit of redemption for R […]

Just horrible from Rafa, serve not ok, ROS not ok, even the FH ends up hitting to the net! Spain better wins this match, so that Rafa can have some more match practices. He’s playing below par so far here in A […]

Seems that PCB is the better player here than Rafa; Rafa almost cost Spain the break in the second set, as usual he always has problems serving for set and match.

Rafa’s ROS is also getting poorer; he had ten BPs vs Goffin but only converted two, and Goffin isn’t even a big server! In this doubles match, both Rafa and PCB couldn’t even handle Vliegen’s serves, couldn’ […]

Spain doesnt have a great regular doubles team it seems, that Rafa has to play both singles and doubles. What happen to Team Spain? After Feli, Marc Lopez are gone, they can’t put up a good doubles team (not i […]

Is Rafa playing doubles? Even if Spain wins today, Rafa will run into problems tomorrow vs De Minaur, who’s even quicker than Goffin and is well rested (having one more day rest).

The thing that pissed me off is Djoko is slowly gaining points against Rafa, and if Djoko manages to retain his AO title and Rafa loses before the final, Rafa may lose his no.1 ranking again!

It’ll be f […]

But Djoko managed to edge out Shapo; and it’s under the same conditions and Djoko also flew in from Brisbane. No excuse, as I mentioned before, during Abu Dhabi exho, that Rafa was having problem with his s […]

Well closing of the roof is expected with the weather conditions in Australia. Rafa should be prepared for this, don’t expect conditions at Melbourne to be any better. If he can’t take the humidity, then too bad, […]

Luckily Agut won his match, so Spain still has a chance even if Rafa loses this match.

How’s Rafa going to survive having to face and save BPs so often? He’s asking for troubles!

I mean *no wind to affect his serve.

Rafa really playing poorly by his standard! He’s facing so many BPs, and when he had BPs against Goffin, he squandered all of them!

He’s not serving well at all, hows he going to win against the TOP pla […]

Shapo didn’t win that important point in the TB when he’s 2-4 down, playing a lousy BH DTL that went way out. If it was Rafa, I bet he would move his legs quick enough to hit his FH instead. Had Shapo won tha […]

Not necessary, they can let De Minaur sit out, so Kyrgios becomes the higher ranked player and Millman the second ranked player. They did that during their matches against Greece when Kyrgios the higher ranked […]

Looks like Rafa may play against Kyrgios should both Spain and Australia get to the SF. Kyrgios will be pumped up once he knows he’s going to play against Rafa.

I think both Spain and Australia have very h […]

Maybe Rafa wants some practices in doubles just in case he has to play a crucial doubles match. Marc Lopez is there, wonder why he’s not playing doubles with PCB or Rafa.

Rafa playing in doubles too, maybe Spain doesn’t want Japan to qualify as best runner up, so that they don’t have to play against Japan again in the QF!

Seriously, Spain will have to move to Sydney to play the QF, I think Rafa will have problem adapting to the conditions there on his first match.
