Sorry, I mean Ed.

Almost Nats, but I think my eyes start to be filled with tears now!

Yes!! Vamos Rafa!! You’ve done it!

Yes Rafa breaks again finally! Now Rafa please be steady and serves for the Championship, no hiccups please!!

Please Rafa, concentrates on holding your own serve! You’ll get there!

Rafa’s service game back to torture mode for us his fans! So scary but he finally holds! If only Rafa has a better serve, he won’t need to put in so much effort to hold serve! I blame Toni for it! […]

Yes, Rafa breaks serve again! Now please hold serves till the end! Rafa good man! Come on!

Hoo, what a service hold. Rafa got me scared when it went to deuce in his first service game fourth set! Now Rafa please break Thiem’s serve and then holds your serve till the end! Vamos again!

Rafa is stepping inside the court more often hence he’s able to control the points, I like that. It’s definitely better than playing from so far back doing all the running.

I hope Rafa keeps up the int […]

Ok Rafa please hold and break and wins the third set quickly and then concentrates on winning the fourth! Vamos!

Rafa’s FH is his problem today. He can’t hit it with more depth when going CC time and again to Thiem’s BH, and he’s mis-hitting it way too much I feel.

Losing the second set is a wake up call for Rafa, h […]

Thiem is serving and hitting so hard it’s hard to counter that.

Rafa serving better in second set yet still lost it! Thiem is serving unbelievable and never allows Rafa into his service game.

Looks like Rafa isn’t playing better than his SF match here; he’s not on fire and […]

Rafa should hit to Thiem’s FH too as Thiem is slow to cover his FH corner when on the run. Rafa hitting too much to Thiem’s BH and he’s hitting shorter and shorter thus allowing Thiem to step in to hit his BH wi […]

Rafa can’t make any impact in Thiem’s service game, he’s allowing Thiem to dictate with his big serve. Rafa please hold serve and finds loopholes in Thiem’s service game!

Smart serving from Rafa, serving to Thiem’s FH at Ad court, caught him by surprise.

Rafa serving better in this second set, perhaps he has calmed down after winning the first set.

I think he’s testing Thiem’s fitness in the first set with all the long rallies but Thiem proved too fit a guy to […]

Rafa not playing his FHCC to Thiem’s BH well, he should follow in after that shot instead of waiting for the ball to come back. Thiem has enough time to hit his BH and then gets back into good position. Rafa p […]

Yes, no hiccups from Rafa, and he bags the first set! What a relief!

This Thiem is scarily good and Rafa plays a bit too tentatively imo, he’s like running out of ideas how to hit past Thiem when Thiem is e […]

Rafa’s service games are always tortures for us! Come on Rafa, wins the set for goodness sake!
