GOOD LUCK & VAMOS RAFA!
Congratulations Rafa on winning the first round. Your short interview was humble n polite, n it was good to again hear you more or less say “one day at a time”. God bless you. Vamos Rafa. Love your Aussie Abuela. 😀😄
Rafa wins this match, but he left his forehand in Paris a year ago. Trouble in sight.
Rafa , I’m watching you play in Wimbledon from Australia, n you are playing great. I am praying so hard for you not to become nervous. God bless you. Vamooos Rafa. Love your Aussie Abuela. 😀😃
I am watching the first games of this match and Rafa has already hit 4 UEs with the forehand. This Wimbledon will be a disaster.
Rafa I can’t Wait To See you Play Tonight 8pm !! & I know that I am going to see Great Match !,Coz you are Amazing .Good Luck Champ <3 <3 🙂 Syd.Aust.
I watch some of these young guns unsportingly cursing n swearing, etc. n I think why can’t they have Rafa’s mentality? May this attitude win you a few more Majors, but above all I wish you good health, good luck n no injuries. Roger also has a pretty good attitude. Can’t wait to see you play @ 8.00 pm today Perth time (Western Australia). God bless you. Vamos Rafa. Love your Aussie Abuela. 😄😀🎈🎈
Dear Rafa: If you read the posts on this fan site I know that you would feel a sense of pride and comfort. Everyone is truly fond of you and that is saying it in a modest way; I think everyone loves you. I love you as if I’ve known you personally all of your life. I know that everyone wishes you the very best in this tournament. I just want you to be in good physical health and have a positive mind-set. I pray for you to be confident and as calm as you need to be, and that you are able to serve at your best during this tournament. I pray too, that you have the presence of mind and the ability to play the way you need to play to be victorious and also that you have a good feeling when you walk on court for each match. I want you to win this tournament. I know that you are capable of winning it, I only hope that you believe that you are, and that you are confident enough to play the way you know you need to play to win it. God Bless you Rafa, and the best of luck as well. Love, Marylynn.
