  2. Rafa is still the best by far, one just has to look at his statistics. The commentators getting so excited about Novak beating him. It was only the quarterfinals and Rafa has won it 9 times, only the SECOND loss in 72 games.!!! There is just NO comparison, He will be back!!

  4. So humble for such a great player. Stay positive and evaluate your weaknesses, you can once again be the dominant man on court with some minor adjustments. It has been a pleasure watching your passion for the game.

  5. Rafa has lost his edge. Its as simple as that. He leaves the ball short most of the times, his serve (which was never great) has diminished, he doesnt have that long rally in him anymore like he used to when he can hit the ball 15 times and then run down the ball and hit the ball cross court with his backhand (which was the most devastating shot i have ever seen a tennis player do) and most inportantly doesnt possess that fear factor to other players. I hate to see the great ones fall but it is what it is!!

  6. Didn’t finish my last comment … . Rafa puts himself down (not on purpose) – his speech, words are usually undermining – negative. Rafa, please look at yourself as a winner which you are. You are in no way arrogant – too humble – but thinking well of yourself will not make you so. You are truly a tennis superstar and in every other way too – lovable to no end. Please BELIEVE in yourself. You are the greatest!!! In addition make a few changes to your game, additional coach? and go all the way. Love you! VAMOS

  7. As someone mentioned, molly-coddling Rafa is all very nice and I also have done it and want to do more. But does that help Rafa?

    Read some things today that I have always maintained. Billy Jean King said that Rafa needed to change his thinking pattern – he says ‘I have not’ he should thing of what he has. Yes, he often says I’m not ….. I don’t know if I can etc. Of course he always says I will try. Novak as a teen thought that Rafa was beatable on clay and unfortunately has proved it. That’s the main difference between them. Novak is very positive especially after 2010. He doesnt put himself down and I’m sure his thoughts are also positive.
