congrats Rafa! You played such a great game today I wake up just to look at your game in Toronto and wish you all the best to the final. Can’t wait to see you in person in Toronto August .I’m waiting patiently to cheer you at Rexall Love you forever
The draw is shaping up PERFECTLY for Rafa. He must take advantage. If he makes it to the final, he cannot let himself be pushed around the court by Ferrer or Nishikori like he was in Monte Carlo & Melbourne, respectively. No blisters, no back problems, no excuses.
Be aggressive, Rafa. Don’t just wait for your opponent to miss. You have the best forehand in the game, and one of the best backhands. Go for your shots. Go hard. Go deep. Go for winners & forced errors. You can do it. VAMOS!!!
Yes its either NISHIKORI OR FERRER…..BOTH GOOD…….with NISHIKORI winning at BARCELONA and FERRER putting NADAL OUT AT MONTE CARLO……FERRER is always pumped up and rearing to go nonstop……he fights to the end….RAFA over the years has been able to beat him most times……its always easier for the top players to get beaten in three setter games then five setters…..but RAFA seems to be hitting his straps and hopefully we will see him at his ‘SCINTILLATING BEST’ TO WIN THE FINAL ..WE KNOW YOU CAN DO IT RAFA…YOUR FANS WILL BE CHEERING YOU ON…NOW IS THE TIME …..TO BE BACK ON TRACK..
RAFA ….has just disposed of BERDYCH….as he usually does, I was a little concerned about GIRALDO …he’s gone….AGUT next…..and FERRER to come….he makes me a little anxious….the bull terrier here there and everywhere fighting to the end…always goes at top speed …..always charged up ….plays like he wants to win….let’s hope RAFA can contain him this time…GO FOR IT RAFA AND VAMOS…..
