Félicitations pour ce doublé gagnant ! !!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏vive rafa❤❤❤❤❤❤
Lots of complaints about not being able to see the singles and particularly the doubles yesterday! Problems in UK, US and Australia! There were lots of people on-line last night desperately looking for live streams and people in the US trying to log into the BBC! Some managed to stream doubles on Spanish TV. I got the singles only on BBC iplayer but only had live scores for the doubles. I sent the live scores link to a Rafa fan site – the reaction made me realise it had been my best deed of the week!
Congrats Rafa and Marc. Good job 😀 <3
VAMOS 🙂
Well done Rafa and Marc onwards and upwards good luck for your next match
Congrats Rafa!!!
Does anyone have a video link of this match or highlights of this match? and likewise a video of Rafa’s match v Delbonis? Thanks so much – it was not screened in my country!
I watched this match and enjoyed it very much. I would not say that they “cruised” to victory, although the final outcome was never in doubt.
