Can he really do it? Can be beat the deadly raonic in comeback mode?
Great to see Rafa making progress. Round 4 against Gilles Simon, he should prevail, it’s the next round against RAONIC, or ROBREDO no worries in the past with either of them but since the Aussie Open I think Rafa is still finding his best form, he is still in ‘comeback
mode’ its a ‘step by step’ process to get to the top of the ladder again, the last 8 are all challenges Djokovic Tomic, Murray Nishikori, Raonic Nadal, Berdych Federer, its how he goes from here that will guage exactly where he is at, so cmon Rafa you have some Grandslams left in you yet….
You can do it Rafa, vamos!!!
Vamos Rafa!!!!
VAMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
