This is not a nightmare draw! This approach is a loser’s attitude. Rafa should win this one, no BS or excuses! We know what the insecure and weak attitude got him during the last 9 months. Enough is enough!

AS RAFA ONCE SAID: THE DIFFICULT IS HARD; THE IMPOSSIBLE? NO PROBLEM! CHANNEL YOUR INNER TORO CAMPEON!
Tough matches,,,,,,,for your opponent to
Rafa is now on home territory – CLAY. All nerves will go and he’ll go for it……Vamos.
Oh please who has won this tournament 8 times in a row? I rest my case.
It’s a tough draw!! But Rafa will play a tournament!! Vamos!!!
We’ll, let us reverse it and say it a nightmare for those who play him too ! Let him ease back onto clay . His loyal supporters will still be there. Vamos Rafaaaaaa
All Rafa fans should not expect too much from Rafa. Rafa is still work in progress, which means anything can happen. Honestly, from this draw, I don’t see Rafa going beyond the quarter-finals. I honestly don’t see him beating David Ferrer, not to talk of Djokovic!
But, as Rafa will so often say, ”We’ll see”
Vamooss Rafa!!!!
Siempre mentalemnte en la cancha contigo peleando cada punto!! Vamooooos!!
VAAAAAAMMMMMOOOOOOOSSSSS RAAAAFFFFAAAAA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
