“In general I have to be happy the way that I played. After three months without a match, winning against a good player like Richard is a very positive comeback for me. I think I played solid, no mistakes. I’m happy the way I played. … Today was an important day for me, the day that I am back. To have the support of the people, this is important. It’s an important feeling to be back in competition. I’m very happy,” said Rafa.

We posted the link for all times, you even had a countdown watch how long is until his match, all you had to do is click on the link in our article.
The time for Rafa’s match specified “pm” for us (VA, USA) Now I know it’s the OTHER way around. PM means AM for VA, USA? Yes? No? I hope I get to see his next match.
