It’s okay. Just a small accident.

  1. Rafa I didn’t see what sounds like an amazing match, but what I don’t understand here in Australia is,

    1)What did you do to your head
    2)Was it looked by a medical team to deem fit enough for you to play
    3)the first -2 sets suggest that you were not playing yourself.

    I am wondering if the match should have been canceled, as you don’t sound to have been very well to me.

    You did your very best Rafa, and I know and realize that you will be disappointed but I wouldn’t like to be playing 5 sets with a bang in my head either.

    Time for fishing, golfing and resting,

    Love and prayers,

  2. I had no idea that Rafa had hit his head SO hard just before the match!!! I fervently hope he has not suffered a lasting injury!! That would be SUCH a hard blow!!! Rafa has always worked hard to maintain a very high standard of readiness. It would be unthinkable to dwell on this accidental head event as a career-ending matter. Let’s hope this will NOT be the case!! Que Dios to bendiga, Rafa!!! Eres el Campeon Numero Uno!!!!!

  3. So there it is for all to see.

    Our good, old Aunt Maria (Siberian) was right after all!!!!

    I received a lot of satirical abuses and innuendos from Rafamaniacs here when Rafa was still standing after the first week, contrary to Aunt Maria’s popular prediction that Rafa would make the 2nd week. I was really embarrassed and I quickly went to meet my famous mystic Aunt to let her know that i was been abused over her failed prediction.

    Aunt Maria, as cool and unperturbed as a Cucumber, said, ”Maria sweetheart, rekax, let’s wait until Monday to see what will happen.”

    The rest is now history. Andy is next in line.

    As promised, we shall release ahead as from tomorrow the full result of the quarter final, semifinal and final matches. Please stay tuned.

    But as always, we’d see……………………hmmn

    • I Agree Rafa. has been playing some good tennis and yes he can play on grass Rafa. at his best can beat any player no matter what surface it is that he plays on, Muller has been playing better on grass then anyone this season better then Roger F. The Joker N J. and Andy M. this is the first grass court Rafa. has played on this season and still almost came back to win the match after getting a bad start did not serve well in set 1 or 2 got 2 sets behind but set 3 and 4 served much better then got to six all in 5th set could have been his match to win but it was not to be finally lost 5th set at 13, 15 to Muller I do not believe that Roger, Andy, or the Joker N,J. could have even come close to beating Muller today. Congrats to Muller on the win he is a gentleman and a good Person.
