Bugger DS has broken back. Cmon rafa
VAMOS DEAR RAFA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) ******************* GO RAFA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) : ) Looking so solid & feisty out there leading 4:1 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
Both guys are ripping the cover off the balls. What a workout!
Short-man , certainly packs a punch , a real little pocket rocket but no match for Rafa .
I predict a straightforward win for the Spaniard.
Diego hits the ball well, but this kind of tennis is ideal for Rafa.
Just wanted to say Goffin was brilliant…
He certainly was Sarah, a joy to watch
Sarah it was scary for a while but David came through. Fantastic performance
Well done rafa
Oh my lord. Calm everyone – it’s early days. Cmon rafa break back

Match of the tournament so far! Previously it was also Goffin vs Thiem to me. 🙂 I got exhausted watching it. Goffin really delivered! From the start of the tournament from I what I saw it seemed he’s on a mission, so much heart, so much fight.
In the final game I was thinking if Novak came through this, unless he got drained, it would be a disadvantage for Rafa as “the king of saving MPs” might ver well have been waken up.
Goffin played really solid in the third match. At 5-5 in the decider on his serve, I was worried as the sun seemed to be troubling him a lot. So glad he got through that. He played bravely and deservingly won. Congratulations!
Now back to our champion vs Nishioka aka Ninja of the clay court.
Good luck and Vamos Rafa. 🍀🍀🎾🎾💪💪
Vy I don’t understand this. Why do you say Rafa is playing Nishioka? A bit confused
He’s playing Goffin in about 10 hours.
It may be possible that she inhaled too much of Maria-S’s “we’d,”
RAFA ROCKS
I wrote Ninja OF the clay court. Of course I meant David!
Wow Diego looks even shorter than Goff, though thicker.
Rafa must feel more relaxed knowing the outcome of the match prior.
Seriously all those that think rafa is ‘finished’ let’s see what has actually happened? None of the next gen remain. World no 1 andy is out! World no 2 novak is out! Stan the man is out! Roger isn’t even playing! Only member of the big 4 remaining is rafa. Let us just respect and appreciate the man – win or lose
Well my cable has decided to stay with the tennis, so guess I’ll watch Rafa–though after that last match I feel stuffed and need to leave the table.
How cold is it in MC? Everyone’s wearing down jackets? And they all look so rich. Not fair! There’s an empty seat right behind the baseline where I like to sit. Should be mine.
Just heard there are floodlights rafalite – so no worries about failing light. Settle in and go swimming later
Yes, I have decided to stay and watch.
Vamos! Diego should be asy, though I remember Rafa having some trouble with him at the USO, though winning.
Somehow Diego has gotten to #33, so something’s on the rise with him. But he’s no Goffin.
It will be so interesting to see Rafa/Goffin. I think Rafa’s high bouncing balls may give the short guy some trouble. I was so impressed with Goff today.
£2.50 will get you a EuroMillions ticket for tonights draw , you still have time to put it on . Lol With all these shocks and surprises lately who knows what might happen. You could be sat there Sunday watching Rafa win the final
And you could buy that yacht lol
Go out and give it your all Rafa. All those we thought might stand in your way have gone . The trophy is near enough yours now , you must be able to taste that metal on your lips He he
Number 10 would be great maria
Yaaay! Goffin, so happy for you! You deserved it!
What a match!!!!
Rafalite says that rafa (should he win) has never played goffin. Well if rafa gets through I really hope he beats David (although I’m rather partial to him now) but should rafa lose – at least it’s not to novak or Roger!!!!
Yaaay! Goffin, so happy for you! You deserved it!
Oh MY GOd.
Astonishing!
What heart and determination and tireless determination!
We won’t like it so much if he can do that to Rafa, will we? LOL
Hopefully that took a lot out of him. But I don’t expect him to fizzle out in his next match.
Now Rafa has to play two midgets. No disrespect intended.
Watching that took a lot out of me! Great, great match. Great outcome too.
I guess I didn’t need the 2nd “determination” ….
You can have as many determinations as you like. So far it’s a good day
Well done David goffin. A great fight and you took down novak. I have tears in my eyes. What a match!
Wow! – Big congrats to Goffin. – Way to go. You played amazingly 😃👏🏻
Rafa good luck and vamooos!! 🎾💪🏼😘🍀🤞🏻
He and Rafa practice together and Rafa beat him in the 2016 Abu Dhabi final.
RAFA ROCKS
Wow! David you played brilliantly. I am so chuffed for you and for your first win over Novak, you have earned another fan tonight. . Good luck Rafa.
Sensational win by Goffin! What heart ❤️ What a talent.! He’s so exciting to watch! He threw everything at Djok to get the win! 😃😃😃
