  1. I asked Rafa if he would be watching the final on TV today in Rome, between resting and enjoying the sun in Majorca.😃 We are pleased that Thiem did not get to the final as he did not let Rafa through, today I think may the best man win, Zverev perhaps as it would be a first title and Novak has won enough. Which channel do you have in the UK to see the atp European matches ? In Paris they are on Bein Sport. I think a few years ago they were on Eurosport. Fiona in Paris

    • Mainly on sky so far this year fiona. But I think some of them later switch to eurosport. Not sure if that is atp or us open and ao though.

  3. I’m sad that rafa lost but if he had to lose to anyone, I’m glad it was to dominic as I really like him and he played really well. If that was best of 5 as in the grand slams, I’m sure rafa would have got it as dominic may not have been able to keep up that level. At least rafa can go home and rest up for roland garros. Just hoping that del potro can take down novak again.

    • Susie and the others, of course disappointed,😕 prayed for Rafa to continue and win Rome, have been watching the videoclip of his Rome final 2006, aged nearly 20 😃lovely looking and a super success. Just looking forward to my visit to Roland Garros now. I thought he would rest in Majorca from today Saturday and that is what he said he is doing, the temperature there is showing 24 degrees. You may have seen my earlier comments this year about motivation. When I went to the RG quarters in 2015 the media had predicted also the public that he would not win and we did not get the impression that the motivation was there to prove them wrong. 😐Rome was predicted that he would sail through as the last times, so where was the motivation to see it? I would be interested to hear what you others think about this. Fiona in Paris

      • Hi fiona – just glad rafa is home and having some rest. Just so he can put on two good performances for your two trips to week one of roland garros! I do hope you get to see rafa live. Don’t forget to come back and tell us all about it!

  4. THE KING OF TIMELY ACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) VAMOS SWEETHEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) : ) : ); ) : ) : ) GO RAFA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) : ) ; ) 😉 : ) Lots of love & VAMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )

  5. Can barely watch.

    Whatever happens here I hope he is rested for the FO and plays well.

    VAMOS Rafa!!

  6. I really hope this isn’t going to be 3rd time lucky for dominic but he is dominating this 1st set and hasn’t allowed rafa to play. Cmon rafa you can win this match even if you lose this 1st set!!!

  7. Cmon Rafa!!! Please!!!

    Today you are playing short and service is also weak. Buck up!!!

    You can do it!!!

  8. All the best Rafa for your match now against thiem.

    Pray for you to win – hopefully quite comfortably.

    VAMOS

  9. You bring a unique quality and excitement to this game. Keep on playing!!

  11. Rafa so good to see you at the top of your game again i know how much the game of Tennis means to you and i want to see you win your 8th Title in Rome and your 10th in R G. Best of luck to my very favorite tennis player Vamooooos’

  12. Watched your match with Jack and it is simply amazing to watch you back as you once were just a few years ago, back to your aggressive, confident best. Your serve has improved immensely as has your confidence. Joy to watch you in action and just love it when you come on with your GAME FACE on right from the start. You bring excitement and passion to the game of tennis that no other tennis player seems to do so even though there are some very good players out there, you are head and shoulders above them – truly unique in that regard. Also good to see JMDP back on tour, he is another lovely guy. 🎾💪🇧🇴💥

  13. Yes, a thing of beauty. Can’t say it enough. Even Jack is amazed! Keep all of your opponents off guard Rafa. Love your beautiful shotmaking.

    RAFA ROCKS

  14. I watch the game good job , good luck for tomorrow in quarter final I have confidence you do all you can to win it.
