Congratulations on your win against Milos. The best of luck tomorrow during your quarter final match against Stan. May you stay healthy, have a positive attitude, and know that you are as good and even better than ANY player who is across the net from you. Believe it too. Believe in yourself from start to finish. Take the ball early, and play on / close to baseline. Don’t let your shots fall short. God bless you, and love, Marylynn.
Congrats Rafa ! Ive not seen any of your games it’s not televised in Canada but I’m so happy you won today ! Keep positive and just get to the nests more often makes a big difference in your game because you are so darn good at voleyng !

Great job RAFA, continuing the momentum from the match with Ivo. This performance today cements his improvement in regaining his highest level again.
One of the commies said that when you see RAFA playing so exceptional you almost forget the negative year he has had in terms of his lofty standards. It’s absolutely true.
It’s important to NEVER give up and NEVER kick a man when he’s down.
Great job. I like Raonic but he looked confused. You are back to looking in control. Ever so pleased for you and the fans that have believed. Good job!
All of sudden Rafa seems to have found his groove again!
Great Thinker watched the match and was really impressed, moreso, as Raonic is no push over.
Now, if there is someone out there that Rafa has an axe to grind with, it’s definetely Stan Warinka!!!
Great Thinker predicts another straight set victory for Rafa: 6-3, 6-3, but to achieve this, Rafa MUST play an all-out ATTACKING GAME firing from all cylinders right from the 1st set.
Vamos Rafa.💖. Was extremely happy to see you win. Watched the entire match, n was cheering you all the time. I was very positive about your win. As the saying goes think positive all the time.
Will always be your loyal fan.
Loveeeeeeeeeeeeeee you Rafa.💖
