ICYMI: How many points is Rafa ahead of Djokovic despite Miami loss?
Our Rafa behaves like superman but he is human after all. I dont think he will have another year like 2013 but no one else will either so why should we be concerned?! As long as he wins some tornaments we will be VERY happy! VAAAMOOOSSS FAAAFAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sony open loss is not the cause of concern, the main concern for Rafa is to stay health with his knee works well for him. Always support and with Rafa, love Rafa and wish him all the best for 2014!!
Not, the loss in the Sony Open is not a cause for concern. He is going to do better and not just in the next tournaments on clay but also on grass where he had a couple of bad years but this year he seems to be healthy and I’m sure he will bring us happiness watching the results
Vamos!!!!!!!!
Vamos rafa
Fedal tiene un glamour especial que no va a tener nunca la rivalidad con Nole. Roger y Rafa marcaron el comienzo de una etapa de respeto y caballerosidad en el tenis nunca visto hasta ahora. Quizas en los comienzo del deporte y antes de ser profesionales. Se acuerdan de la época de jimmy Connors y Mac Enroe? o Tiriac y Natashe? La rivalidad con Nole es distinta, a pesar de que también hay respeto y son dos grandes campeones, no tiene ese glamour.
