What an amazing year so far.
YAAAAY, RAFA!!! Adelante, como siempre!!!!! Keep going forward, as usual!!!! As, always, your faithful fan!!!!
Rafa has silenced all his critics who questioned if he would ever win a slam again and regain his past form and dominance . In fact , Rafa was so close to winning the Australian Open if not for a couple of unforced errors and superlative Federer shot making in the 5th set . And Rafa has done it his way standing deep beyond the baseline on his service returns on both clay and hard court . Bravo to Rafa and Vamos Rafa forever .
