Rafa played way better than in his previous matches, but I see him reaching his best at RG. I think this Rafa can beat Novak tomorrow but to be able to do that he will have to get rid of his demons & doubts, he […]

I actually would love to see Rafa being bad loser even being arrogant a bit, the guys like Kyrgios deserves to be treated that way! But instead Rafa is always so full of praise of his opponents when he loses, he […]

Hmm, isn’t this the same Thiem that was put on the pedestal after beating Rafa? This is what I meant when I said it’s not them being that good it’s Rafa not going by his own standards.

Rafa will beat them all in the RG!

Also, it’s worth mentioning that Rafa was ill coming to Madrid, had a virus and was even considering skipping Madrid but in the end decided to play. Being ill means he was unable to practice and also may be the r […]

Rome clay suits Rafa. In the past he would mostly arrive tired and this time around I guess he will not be spent and will be eager to play! I predicted a while ago that Rafa might be reaching his top form in Rome […]

Agreed, NNY!

Putting Tsitispas as the main contender for RG title with all due respect is just insulting people’s tennis intelligence 😀

…”with his powerful RETURN”…

@kevin,
First, to be clear, I would love to see Tsitsi lifts the trophy, but…
My reasoning is the following:

Rafa is not there yet, bug question mark if he will at all manage to reach his top form on clay […]

I wish you were right and I would love to see Rafa’s conquer winning the Madrid title but it ain’t gonna happen with Novak in the equation who tends to save his best for the final matches…Rafa let Tsitispas pla […]

Novak’s serve is way better than Rafa’s. He hits deep and the speed and strength of his shots are better than Rafa’s. Nole is great returner and he can defend for ages waiting for Tsitsi to make an UE. And the c […]

Exactly, you genius! The reason why Rafa beats Wawa handily is not in Rafa being that good but mostly because of Wawa not being himself any more…and that’s my whole point! Don’t see any excuses there…

“RG is on Tsitsipas’s racquet?!! 😂😂😂

Last week it was Thiem because he beat Rafa…when Fog beats Rafa he is the most talented and the real contender..,you have to understand that it’s not them being so extra […]

This Rafa would have been destroyed by Nole anyway.. also this match is already too exhausting for Rafa to be able to play any better in the finals so overall better for him to go and have some rest ahead of […]

Novak isn’t playing his best yet was able to beat this confident Thiem…and this victory sure raises Nole’s confidence for the finals…as I said before, the only opposition Rafa is to fear at RG is Novak and nob […]

I come to think that Rafa really has nothing to prove on clay! He has records that no one will be able to match probably ever, and he has had achieved it with all the times off and injuries he had to cope with! […]

Deserved win for Thiem! He played excellent match!
Rafa lost to one who outplayed him in every corner!

Well, Rafa is progressing slowly but he is progressing! His game was better than MC, although those DFs […]

Must say I was surprised how serious and focused Foggy was in thiis final! When he behaves like this and plays well he totally deserves the trophy! Dusan OTOH was terrified in this match and played lousy match! I […]

I go for Dusan! Fog is inconsistent and one nervous and rude butthead! It was easy to beat subpar Rafa! Even Coric would have had the same shot at this Rafa!

It’s laughable how much people read into this v […]

Yeah, as I expected, Rafa loses his SF match. Unfortunately, I thought either Coric or Fog stood better chance against this shadow of Rafa. After seeing Rafa’s level yesterday I knew Rafa couldn’t improve that mat […]

Rafa’s comeback from yet another injury means he will have to work hard to get the victories even on clay because he is no longer young and fast as he used to be. I agree that Fed is a lucky one to have his life s […]
