  1. Wow just blinked my eyes for a second and Rafa did it.. missed the match after rain but not complaining at all 😃😃😃vamos Rafa

  2. Rafa Nadal veni vidi vici ( eventually)
    Rafa you have reclaimed your Empire , I’m so happy for you and back to number one. Who knows the outcome could have been very different if it wasn’t for the rain delay
    Rafa and Roger had it all their own way last year , now they need to find another gear because Novak and Zverev are coming for them

    Good luck in the FO , make it number 12

  3. In 2005 Rafa won his first Rome title against Coria with the fearlessness of youth. Today his experience got him through against youth.

  4. Smart Rafa! The conditions don’t favour him, but he’s mixing it up, changing the pace and he’s got his reward with a break!!!!!

    • Omg Lorna – the man is a magician but what he puts us through. Please hold serve now for the match

      • Yes what Rafa’s fans go through. He should win 6.1 6.1 this match instead of almost losing it because in reality Zverev is a big bubble that bursts very easily. By the way, after this match and seeing the tantrums of Zverev I think I will certainly never watch Zverev again. Goffin who respects all players and has never criticized any rival, talked for the first time how Zverev was disrespectful and deliberately annoying to turn a match around and win!

        Anyway wamos Rafa you are the best;

    • Amazing. Simply wonderful! Even God must have been like, Rafa this is so unlike you, let me send some rain so you take a break and recover. Reminds me of RG 2012 (or 2014) final against Djoker.

      Well done champ!

  5. THAT SERVE WAS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) YOU WERE RIGHT SWEETHEART AND THE UMPIRE DID NOT MAKE THE CORRECT CALL……BUT HE IS A GOOD UMPIRE AND YOU WON THE POINT JUST THE SAME : ) WI………WI………WI…….: ) GO RAFA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) VAMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) XOXOXOXO

      • And rafa held serve. He’s in front Maria. When did your constitution get so weak? Lol. I struggle at times too

  6. Zverev looks so cool wheras Rafa look fed up. He can’t be happy with the the damp conditions as the balls will be heavy but hey, it’s the same for both players. I love Rafa to win on his own terms but i’m hoping for a let down in fkrm from Zverev.

  7. One break is not that catastrophic if Rafa get himself together after the rain,but…usually he is loosing when is not sun shine for his spin.But rain helped him at Wimbledon against Roger…So let’s hope.
