  4. Rafa needs a new voice on his team … Not to get rid of his uncle but to add a new twist to an already great team . I honestly feel that this will help Rafa during the funks that he goes through. All the elite hire new voices to their team to get Ultimate results… If Rafa didn’t get Injured he would have beaten Novak … Don’t know whats up with him but he has lost a few sets with playing Mediocre tennis.. Think this will effect Wimbledon and the Olympics for Rafa …. Athletes are dropping out of Rio left and right with Zika virus’s scare … They should move it to another country but guess it’s too late. What a horrible FO …raining , dismal , no Rafa ! Watching it without any enthusiasm… It has been one of the worse FO I have ever watched… Just awful . Get well Rafa… Your fans miss you so and tennis Desperately need you !

  5. Oh no sweet Rafa, so sorry for you 🙁 Sending you lots of love and kisses your way and my best wishes for a speedy recovery <3 😡 🙂 Please get well soon 🙂 <3

    R.G. sure is not the same without you 🙁

    VAMOS CHAMP!! 😀

    • Oh sorry… That “angry face” was supposed to be af “kissing face” ;-):-D

  6. I am so sad to hear the news….can’t stop crying…I don’t even want to watch the rest of the matches… Please …anyone….Stop Novak. I can’t bear to see him win…Take care of yourself RAFA… We need you playing and winning more …
    Luv u always…

  7. I want to start by saying I hope and pray Rafa’s recovery is 100 percent – no side affects – I hope he is able to continue his career with no wrist problems. That said, I absoultely know that he would have WON the tournament. No matter who he faced in the final he would have been the winner. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN HOLDING UP THE TROPHY. It was not meant to be and I am so sad for you Rafa. So sad. God bless you Rafa. I love you. Marylynn.

  8. No one has the charisma of Rafa,he never loses his temper like you -know- who,a great vacuum has opened up in the RG tournament,I dont want to watch any more of it without Rafa.
    It would have been a consolation if French TV had shown his opening matches,pathetic coverage.I only saw a few seconds.

  9. So sorry to hear about your injury Rafa,hope you get better soon,we will pray for you,come back when you are ready.

  10. I am absolutely dejected and have tears in my eyes ….sometimes have feeling why only rafa… it will be not the same without u rafa….
    for me rg 16 is over

    Yes it was started in madrid when pictures were out, we suggested rafa to pull out of tournament if he is feeling bad with wrist

    but the moment was such rafa was coming in form after a not up to the mark season….. so he obviously dont want to stop his rhtym going into rg 16 ….we can understand rafa decision

    fed choose to skip tournaments because on ijury and because he dont want trouble and risk his most favourite tournament wimbeldon

    But rafa is not fed who expect to win grandslam with little preparation and he is correct when he had bad season

    so i just pray rafa problem is not critical and gets treated well

    Please rafa have rest ….come out of the injury 100 fit and start with new motivation ……we looked at u as inspiration
    will miss ur play rafa

    I wish to see u on courts very soon
    for us ur health is more important than grandslams because u can always win grandslam .
    There is remaining 2 more grandslam and olympic this year so dont worry

    Sometimes i wish in his bad times last year people should not have burden on rafa of so much expectations to win every tournamnet and if he does not do well wrting him off

    he is a human

    I wish him speedy recovery
