Unbelievable Rafa! Did he save MP in the third set before coming back to win in a TB? I couldn’t remember but couldnt believe Rafa would come from two breaks down against a big server like Medvedev to win in the […]

It’s really upsetting that Rafa has to get all these injuries when it comes to end of the season. The worse thing is he may then lose the lead in the race for YE no. 1; it happened last year, just hope it won’t […]

Looks like Rafa really needs Fed’s help in getting the YE no. 1. The way he’s playing, he’s on his way home soon.

Rafa’s matches are always very stressful for his fans! He just has the tendency to make life difficult for himself and for his fans.
He always throw in some terrible game here and there and has to fight so hard […]

Fed must take risk, moves to the net often; staying at the baseline will only help Djoko. Berretini made the mistake of not rushing the net until it’s too late when he’s about to lose to Djoko, could have far […]

Thiem wins finally! Congrats, after all the struggles to contain Djoko. First win on HC over Djoko, not bad! He may be turning into another Stan with his power game, but he’s also picking up on his net game so I […]

A gift from Djoko, hope Thiem is clutch enough this time, when serving for the match! Come on Thiem!

The problem with Thiem, (and all the other non big three players maybe except Medvedev), is that while Djoko can be so clutch at important moments, Thiem just can’t. One more hold of his own service game and h […]

For Rafa’s own sake, he has to improve. He said he’s short of confidence and practice. I hope he can overcome all these, just go out there to play his game.
If he’s playing like how he played at Paris Maste […]

Fed should be able to win this in straight sets, Berrittini just doesn’t have the tennis skills and acumen to match Fed’s even when Fed is not playing his usual good level.
Fed has to win this one to stay alive […]

Tsitsipas should play like this more often, he has good hands at the net and should come forward more often, esp against players like Medvedev, Djoko and FAA. His baseline game is not as good as theirs so he […]

The way Rafa is playing now, it may turn out to be another 2009. Too bad, he always get himself into such conditions at end of seasons. His game is just not good enough to win indoors, when everyone is hitting […]

Berrettini is simply too one dimensional, just a big serve and not much else! He doesn’t move well, has a bad DHBH, a big FH but doesn’t know how to use it to his full advantage, could do a bit of net rushing but […]

Yeah but unless the O2 surface plays slow, I doubt Fed is going to lose to Thiem indoors. Fed is resting after Basel to give himself the best chance of winning at WTF.
I seriously think that Fed doesn’t w […]

Congrats Rafa for regaining the no.1 ranking!
Hopefully he’s fit to play at WTF and then goes on to become YE no.1; it’ll be sad for him if he loses no.1 ranking again due to injury, having been the best pla […]

Another one sided final, finished in barely over an hour! It’s really an easy tournament for Djoko, when there’s no Fed, no Rafa in the final and no Medvedev in the SF!
Shapo is still inexperienced when this is […]

What a shame that Rafa has to get injured. He should be able to beat this Shapo and then gives us a more competitive match against Djoko in the final.
It’s still Rafa, Fed, Stan and Medvedev who are able to m […]

I feel Rafa will play at the WTF, maybe the RR stage at least. I do feel he’s good enough to win one to two RR matches. His movements, his shots and his returns are all good, even if he couldn’t serve well bec […]

Well as Rafa ages, he won’t be able to hit topspin shots with depth that often, hence Djoko is able to deal with Rafa’s topspin shots on HCs.
Djoko always makes it a point to move to the net once he sees an […]

Sorry that’s me, and I accidentally press ‘sent’.
Tsitsipas plays a more thinking game and moving to the net as and when appropriate, like what Rafa is doing these days.
