Rafa playing tremendous tennis. Killing Coric.
All is well.
Will face Shapovalov, not Delpo, next.
to all Rafa fans,
You can watch the match live on youtube nadal vs coric canada
which will probably be the case for all canada matches.
At the moment Rafa is walking over a cildishly yelling hysterical Coric.
Fingers crossed it continues like that
