Amazing Rafa! Good luck for the next round.
Just to check again what happened in 2015 I watched part of the rg QF vs Nole again. It is really another player that we see there. The current version is totally different. Nole actually was not that good at rg, not better i mean than in 14 and def not better than in rg 12 and 13 when at times he was a beast. This gives hope.
Indian wells … monte carlo ….barcelona and so many years producing many such incredible ..jaw dropping shots…..
i mean any nin tennis fan if will see u play this shots they will fall in love with u and then tennis ….u make tennis such an exciting game to watch.
some say roger play is like a art u just admire it , for rafa i will say his play is a roller coaster ride ..u r definitely going to be excited for sure
In tennis various name given like ad court…baseline….its high time for tennis to coin a new term the down the line forehand area as ” rafas corner”
Merveilleux Rafa ; cette fois , c’est le vrai come back
Vamos , Rafito !!! I love you
