Great job Rafa, congratulations.
CAMPEON D CAMPEONES!!!! No habrΓ otro jugador como tu..eres ΓΉnico..
Vamos Rafa <3
Felicidades Rafa eres increible.
Wow, what an amazing weekend of tennis! Huge congratulations to Spain and especially Rafa and David! πͺ
Just as Rafa consoled Fed when he lost the AO, David consoled Kohlschreiber after his loss. David is often overlooked but he is and has always been a tenacious fighter. I hope he enjoys all the plaudits he is and will receive for this great win for team and Spain.
Some are saying it was a stroke of genius to have David play after Rafa. They may be right; Rafa’s win today could have given David that extra wind he needed in this thriller of a match.
RAFA & DAVID ROCKED DAVIS CUP
Here, Here. So true Margo. Like Rafa, David is a tenacious, humble and compassionate guy and he deserved his time in the spotlight for sealing the decisive rubber.
Lorna, so well put.
I have to tell you though, I was on double pins and needles during David’s up-and-down match because I was also worrying about Rafa and what he must have been going through. Duuhhhh
I read a lot of articles saying that Italy and Germany would win. Surprise, surprise….France did a job on Italy.
And many were counting on Zverev and Germany’s doubles team to clinch the semifinals.
Let’s get ready for more clay and more titles.
RAFA ROCKS
YES!The honours go to Spain. Well done David Ferrer on coming out victorious in a nail biting five set thriller to see Spain into the semi final.
Fab post Lorna. I’m still working on succinctness.
AND DAVID TOO STRONG FOR KOHLSCHREIBER.
SPAIN IS IN THE SEMIFINALS
Congrats to Rafa, indeed you proved again that you still as strong as ever, stay healthy and more success to you! β€οΈππππͺπͺπͺ
A curtsy to you Rafa. Hope I was wrong about you returning so soon from injury. And YES, I am looking forward to a great clay season for you. All the best in health to a great champion.
RAFA ROCKS HIS WORRIED FANS
congrats rafa great job,,,,welcome back…..looking forward to watching u play more matches
