I love these inspiring quotes I love the posters I love Rafa . Are the posters available to purchase?
Once again, I have to agree with J Beer and Sosa Laforge. Rafa has a major Peter Pan complex. He’s a child in a man’s body. Most telling is the fact that he won’t move out of his parent’s home. He’s almost 30 years old and he still won’t leave the nest. He won’t cut the chord – with his parents, with his uncle, with his useless assistant coach, with his silly OCD rituals, with his passive style of play, with his bachelorhood, with anything. He’s terrified of new things. He’s terrified of change. Just like so many little boys and girls are.
Honestly, I doff my hat for MIROMO!
This comment is vintage MIROMO and this easily the comment of the decade. Infact the comment for all ages. It encapsulates everything about Rafa, things that I have also had cause to talk about in my several comments on this site and for which the Rafanatics here (Elizabeth Howard, Maria and Fan Love) have crucified me for.
I had long analysed Rafa: I mean I did a SWOT analysis of his personality, game, techniques, his competitors (especially Novak), present and future aspirations, his body language (on & off court) etc and I made the following irreversible conclusions:
1. Unless a miracle happens, Rafa is unlikely to win another grand slam again (FO inclusive).
2. Rafa will neither add to his team nor replace Uncle Toni
3. Novak Djokovic will equal Rafa’s 14 GS, but will neither equal nor surpass Roger Federer’s record of 17 GS. The rising young guns like Alexander Zverev, Nick Kyrgios. Borna Coric and (matured) rookie like Milos Raonic will dominate the scene as from 2017 upwards. However, barring any injury, Milos should win a HC GS this year.
4. Roger Federer will win one more GS.
Thank you
I agree with most of your points. “Vintage MIROMO” being the first, just love it.
No more slams for Rafa indeed, he does not need it, he said, so that’s a good target and easily achievable, well done Rafa, compliments on this target and your strategy so far is working wonderfully. No new coach indeed, mom, dad and uncle decide when the lights go out, so they decide this too. Djokovic however will win another 6 majors I think and Roger will probably win another Wimbledon indeed (unfortunately).
Sosa I don’t mind when people dont have the same opion as me , what i have a problem is people who slate his family and his character and be disrespectful .Say what you like about his tennis but you go beyond that. If their is nothing you like about him now go and find another player who lives up to your expectations, member you decide to be a fan of his he didn’t ask you to be
Rafa,s parents have raised Rafa well and should be very proud . I would look at your own upbringing and ask yourself what has made you so bitter and judgemental and if your parents would be proud of you and your comments and if your answer is yes then it is your parents who have failed you
I am not bitter, I just say the obvious facts that you hate to hear and all you are doing is bad mouthing anyone who doesn’t share the same opinion of yours. Rafa was exposed himself to the judgement of others by publishing his biography. your obsession with Rafa is worrisome, you need to chill out and stop jumping down my throat anytime I post a comment.
Firstly Sosa you should be ashamed of your comments about Rafa and his family, you said you are well educated well let us all know where you were education so we can avoid it like the plague. JBeer all you do is tell everyone what you don’t like about Rafa from his game , his uncle ,his thinning hair,his lack of maturity and his lack of masculinity (your thoughts and words nobody else) perhaps knowing what a big fan of Rafa’s you are(what a joke) you could enlighten us all by telling us what you actually do like . MIOMO change the record your getting boring get a real coach ( yawn ) what like your suggestions the big tuna want it.And to be truthful I would cry having fans like you three on not forgetting the thinker twins
What part of my comment is shameful? or you think an almost 30 years old man still living with his mother, being afraid of darkness, thunder storm sound and getting worried sick to the extent of being paralyzed to hear her sister had a flu are cure qualities? Rafa’s parents failed him big time.
I meant cute qualities.
Spot on, Rafa’s parents forgot to raise him. And this is the result. Now that he needs to be mature, he has no clue what it is about.
And BTW, I know that some of you tennis newbies and novices are thinking “Rafa isn’t hitting the ball hard & deep because he just can’t do it anymore.”
WRONG!!!
He hits the ball hard & deep whenever he chooses to. He just doesn’t choose to FREQUENTLY enough because he’s afraid to leave his comfort zone. But leave it he must – if he ever intends to win another slam. Only a REAL coach – someone whose tennis knowledge & expertise he truly respects – can ever convince him of that. His uncle is obviously not that person.
Well, you may be right all things but i have to disagree with this point.
Nadal CAN hit the ball hard and deep but inconsistently. He has so many unforced errors whenever he hit that ball deep. OUT OUT and OUT that shout attacked his mind and forced him to think that hit the ball within service box is safe. If you don’t believe me, watch all the matches from last year to see how bad his FLAT shot was.
The root of problem is not about the string like Toni said. It’s about new game plan to face Djokovic, a little bit change of style ( a little bit) and his serve. And a new coach or just an assistant coach can help him that. You can notice how slow Nadal is now. He is not the same anymore. His forehand doesn’t have enough “spin” to cause his opponent trouble anymore. Any players with a good flat shot with ACCURACY could destroy that “lob” forehand. Fognini had 70 winners against Nadal in US Open 2015 but also ton of unforced errors.
Not true DMTNA. 90% of Rafa’s unforced errors the last 2 years were wide shots or shots into the net. He rarely misses long because he rarely hits deep shots. Because he’s AFRAID of playing aggressive, offensive, attacking tennis. Fortune favors the brave. Not the fainthearted. Especially in modern day professional men’s tennis.
