Buena suerte campeon
I really would like to know WHEN he is playing Borna Coric and what session
and what court? When will we get this info?
VAMOS DEAR RAFA!!!!!!! : )
Buena suerte Rafa 🍀😃 Creo en ti campeón 😍 VAMOS 🌟💕
Oh noooo..Fognini in the 3rd round. Hope he won’t be any trouble this time. Vamos Rafa!
I’m just glad Rafa is back in the line-up this year 2015. We all missed him last year!
That’s the first bonus. That Rafa is healthy and happy!
No one knows how this is going to play out for any of the players. We’ll just have to wait
and see and enjoy the spectacle. Who ever thought Kei and Marin would be in the finals
last year and Marin would take home the trophy! (Btw they did play terrifically!) No one saw that coming so here’s to lots of fun, action and surprises for the next two weeks.
All the best to Rafa and his team!
Believe, Remember one match at a time. Do not look at the whole draw.
Now play your best. We believe, you should also. Best results.
He may last to the 3rd round, though I’d obviously like him to win. Vamos Rafa
Just want to say ,,,it won’t be easy for Rafa ,,,,but I do hope you do well ,and play positive ,,,,
We are all behind you our Champ. Stay confident and know you can do this. Vamos Rafa!
Boa sorte “RAFA” Deus te ilumine e proteja. Sucesso!
I totally agree! I wish him all the very best and hope he does so well in the US Open xx
Let’s not second guess what Rafa can do.. but just have faith and wish him the very best!
Well Rafa, tough(ish) 1st round but over 5 sets, you can do it and bring your best game plan. Vamos
Well how about a total revenge run? 6 of the potential 7 have beaten Rafa in the last 12 months.
What a tough draw. All the best Rafa! Vamos <3 <3 <3
Well, it looks like it’s going to be a QF loss for Nadal. Provided he doesn’t get upset earlier.
Painful but reasonable.
Let’s go champ!!
We know you can do this!!
Vamos!!
It is your time again. You can do it if anyone can. VAMOS RAFA
God Bless
buena suerte
