Rafa is definitely a stronger player. Congrats you in advance to final Rafa. Vamos Rafa!!!
Thankyou for caring about the time we can watch Rafa.Very confusing TV coverage here in Canada.Have happily stayed up most nights for fear of missing a match . I hope Rafa knows how much happiness he brings to his fans……especially,of course, when he wins! He is a joy to behold . On we go….He actually improves my health….his efforts to win exemplify all that I believe in as does his grace and love of competition. Jean Palmer …..Winnipeg Canada.
I just want to correct myself. I meant Andy came on like gangbusters in the 1st set in Rome.
I said Madrid by mistake. Wow, you guys play way too many tournaments to keep up with!
Thoroughly enjoyed your match against Ferrer who came on like gangbusters. Glad you were successful in curbing his onslaught in the first set and regained your footing and rhythm In the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th sets. Ferrer is always a fierce competitor and wonderful spirit who I always enjoy watching. He is so relentless like you!
Now you face Andy who is equally as fierce. I’m sure he’ll also come on like Ferrer in the very 1st set as he did in Madrid but you tamed his savage beast after that 1st set. Looking forward to your match tomorrow and watching you hitting your stride with positive thoughts. I thought that if Gael would have remained mentally engaged and driven in the 5th set he could have possibly beaten Andy especially in front of his home crowd!
Best of luck, Vamos, Rafa!!!
