Rafa had a great time last night at a Shakira concert. Those of you who haven’t seen her Gypsy video in which she is partnered with Rafa is a must see. Sexy…sexy…sexy.
RAFA ROCKS DANCE
Buena suerte mi campeon VAMOS RAFA
Correction: …..Auger-Aliassime
Mona, i’m sure you’ll also be pleased to hear that your fellow countryman, Felix Auger- Alliassime just won his match against Lucas Pouille. What a bright young talent he is!
I’m Canadian..so am happy to hear this. I’m born in Montreal, living in Waterloo, ON.
Wawrinka just beat Kyrgios in three sets. I think it’s good news for Rafa. Go Rafa!
YB, I am hoping the “real” Stan doesn’t show up tomorrow. He has overcome Rafa twice on hard court, once on clay. Nick has won once on grass and once on hard.
Stan said his body is fine, but his confidence is at a low point. He also has today off which could help him mentally.
I wonder who Rafa would prefer to see on the other side of the net. I think it would be Stan.
RAFA ROCKS
YB, Correction on my part.
I forgot that Stan didn’t get a bye so he is playing today also. If he wins again today it could raise his confidence level but it could also tire him. I’m waiting and watching.
RAFA ROCKS ALL SURFACES
When and what time does Rafa play on Wednesday
Rafa plays in the evening session. I assume it is the first match at 7 pm EDT.
