But Rafa is already playing Golf back at Majorca. His knees are fine as far as I know. I believe he knows what to do, and if he’s not fit, he won’t play LC.

Not amazing, because Rafa often got injured by end of year lately, and so he’s busy recovering from injuries, hence not well prepared for the AO – in 2017 when he reached the final, he was just back from injury a […]

Of course Rafa was tired, because he’s been running a lot. He’s 33, not 20 and he’s not helped by his low first serve %.

Rafa is great in all areas of the court – behind the baseline, at the baseline, mid Court […]

He needs to land in more first serves imo without sacrificing the pace. He’s serving at quite a low % his first serve this USO though winning most of them. Imagine he winning most of them when he gets more of t […]

Sanju, Rafa was very nervous imo, he knew this was his biggest chance to bag no.19 when he didn’t need to face Fed or Djoko. I guess he felt the pressure too, he’s human.

I was really worried in the fifth set […]

Vmk1, I really envy you, watching Rafa live at AA at USO. How awesome was that!

Sanju, Rafa just has the uncanny ability to up his level when it matters most. He’s such a warrior; we sometimes doubt him (after some erratic puzzling play) but he’s just so determined, no wonder he’s now closi […]

Yeah, very scary in the fifth set; luckily not like Fed at Wimbledon. Medvedev not a Djoko, so Rafa still could win in the end.

I actually like Medvedev, he’s not afraid to show what he is, how he feels. He’ll learn from this experience, this victory ceremony. Next time, he’ll know what to do and what to expect should he win the troph […]

Medvedev is such a witty guy, such a witty speech, he’s winning back the hearts of the NY crowd. I love what he said, if he wins what are they going to show, having seen what they showed about Rafa winning all h […]

Rafa, very scary match! What are you trying to do? Want us to suffer heart Attack?

Anyway, congrats that you finally win this! Medvedev gives a good account of himself, well done! Medvedev will be […]

Rafa breaks again for a 5-2 lead, come on Rafa please win this when you serve for the match!

It’s really a torturing experience watching Rafa live matches; he just makes hard work of everything. Had he h […]

And that’s why we can’t take things for granted when it comes to Rafa, because he’s fond of throwing service games away when he’s leading. Medvedev is no Schwartzman, Rafa I hope he doesn’t pay a heavy price for it.

Rafa is letting a winnable match slipping away, I’m afraid. Very worrying now, Medvedev will certainly serve like crazy in the fifth set!

Come on Rafa, hold serve! Get your first serve in please!!!

My Gosh, Rafa is terrible! Should have wrapped up the match in three sets, now it’s two sets all!

Credit to Medvedev though, he’s better in set four. No.19, is it still within Rafa’s grasp?

Rafa’s first s […]

Rafa looking the more tired of the two! Playing long points to win ends up tiring himself instead of Medvedev!

Rafa serving poorly to lose serve twice in the set; should have hang on after breaking Medvedev! […]

Rafa squandered so many BPs! Can’t believe how poor his conversion rate is, at 20%!

When Rafa gets his first serve in, he wins the point almost always! Makes life easier for him and us his fans!

Yes first set in the bag!

Rafa is the better player in this set, except that his first serve % is Low. Both are nervous esp at the beginning but once the the end of the set, Rafa raises his level.

Come on […]

I doubt Medvedev’s ROS is that good. It’s not easy to return Rafa’s serve, players like Chung and Berrettini didn’t even get a single BP chance! Medvedev doesn’t look like one who’s good at breaking serves. Ra […]
