He won and of course I am happy but what I see is the same short balls from Rafa. A better player than Wawrinka would punish Rafa with those short balls landing at the middle of the court. what improvement? I didn’t see any.
WELL DONE RAFA. PLAY SO WELL KEEP GOING XXX
this lob tells a lot that producing such an amazing point under such pressure its all in a player mind and he is a lone player on court thinking tactically……a coach can tell u so many things but at the end of the day u have to execute the very thing on court lonely
such amazing lobs and drop shots will be so useful against novak in grand slams next year…..
so happy
enjoy rafa
vamosa
You made me so happy today. You were great and happy. It was likeRafa was playing as his old self. I was on my feet cheering you on. tHank you Rafa!
Magical touch ! : ) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : )
Great game tonight Rafa – revenge time on Wawrinka!! VAMOS
RAFA knows that hitting through STAN is difficult because he has powerful groundies, so he is strategic and crafty with his shots. Great thinking RAFA under pressure. (LOB)
Next up Andy, as always good luck RAFA. Your loyal fans are behind you.
RAFA fan forever.
Great start for Rafael. The buzz is back. Stan was petulant throwing his racquets.
That lob shot was spectacular but so was Rafa’s reaction to it all. For me, he is by far
the most exciting tennis player to watch. Can’t get enough. So glad he is on his way back!
You can’t play this point better. Just great! Vamos Rafa!!!
