  3. Rafa: “I’m training very well”
    “I need to improve some things on court, i’m missing to train more,to have a clearer strategy. There aren´t many things to work on but to keep calm,to play more matches and keep training. Those things are needed to regain the confidence, i have faith to get it back,”

    Rafa is a perfectionist. Until all his ducks are lined up he won’t feel confident. I hope he gets there soon. I’m missing his scintillating tennis.

    • hawkeye,

      Some people here have a bizarre idea of what constitutes attacking! But then, if you think for yourself and veer away from the fan girl scripted comments, then you are bound to get called out! 🙂

      There have been discussions about Rafa possibly having OCD here many times in the past. It’s because of all those rituals, especially when he serves. Also, how picky he is with those water bottles on court!

      As I said previously, it depends on who is making the comment. Some are targeted, while others who say the same thing are not called out. I guess it’s about being among the favored few! 🙂
