Wilander, otherwise known as Trollander? 😉 Yes he’s picked Rafa this time but I think it’s only because both he and Henman have been put on opposite sides to make the case for either player. Trollander is […]

Yes I watched their 2019 USO final when they both traded shots from the baseline but Rafa is hasn’t been playing fron the baseline in this tournament. Yesterday his practice session was all about the volley so we shall see.

At last I can see where Ricky is coming from. Age didn’t stop experts picking Roger against everyone for everything for years, as far as I can remember.

Raj, Rafa played his best match at night against Berrettini and it was during a day match that he was taken to 5 sets by Shapo because of the heat.

The bookies are using algorithm and as Medvedev is seeded higher than Rafa the computer says he’s the favourite.

I think punters are relying on the ranking in their choice but we all know that numbers do lie, especially with the Covid factor.

I don’t believe that Medvedev has played better than Rafa through the rounds. Cressy, who Rafa beat in straight sets in Melbourne Summer Set, took Med to 4 sets and Med was lucky to come out of that match the […]

Rafa has won 84% of his Grand Slam finals.

Vamos Rafa!

Berrettini threw everything he possibly could at his opponent, but in reality, Nadal never looked overly troubled, with the third set merely a minor blip as he surged on in front of the jubilant fans willing him […]

Rafael Nadal brushes aside Matteo Berrettini to reach Australian Open final and close on 21st Grand Slam title

Rafael Nadal, who is eyeing a historic major title in improbable fashion, brushed the big-hitting […]

Rafa is not playing Djokovic tomorrow but as a matter of interest, Djokovic himself says his game is to defend the baseline.

Amy, there is nothing to be downbeat about regarding Rafa’s match. Rafa was untouchable in the first 2 sets. Berry went for broke in the 3rd set and credit to him he played better in that set but Rafa was on it in […]

Luckystar, I totally agree with you. I’m not technically savvy like you about tennis but even I can see that Medvedev doesn’t have any strategy or variety in his game. He basically defends the baseline just like […]

Rafa cried after the match

When Medvedev was killing everyone in 2019 leading up to the Canadian Open, everyone thought he would wipe Rafa off the court in the final and Rafa beat him 63 60.

After the match McEnroe was full of admiration for Rafa. All the commentators and writers tend to undervalue Rafa’s qualities until they see the print of the nail.

I hate to say this because JMac was my idol […]

People, especially commentators have simply not grasped the fact that Rafa is not bothered by big hitters.

“You’re giving too much credit to Nadal; his opponent’s do half the work for him.”

Vamossssssssssssss!

That final set was nerve wracking. I couldn’t watch during Rafa’s serve because I was too worried that he would get broken and be taken to a 5th set.

Vamosssssssssssssssssssss!
