Rafa, you have to play with every bit of your senses, as ONLY you can do when the situation presents itself!!! WIN IT TOMORROW!!! VAMOS RAFA!!!
Rafa seems prepared for a tough challenge. He was not as sharp today, so I hope he will be blazing tomorrow.
Rafa did pull out a victory today so that is a change from some matches last year.
Testing match to day but our champion came through. All good wishes to morrow.
Good luck for the match. Play aggressive and you will win it. Vamos Rafa <3 <3 <3
Illya Marchenko is a highly dangerous and tricky player!
Nadal has to play his best otherwise anything can happen.
