Good luck tonight Rafa, I’m in no doubt you will be in the final, and let’s hope you will defeat the young Greek Tsitsipas where the other seeds failed.
So impressed with your problems solving and patience.
What a brilliant player you are,
Great good luck.
My favourite Robbie Keonig (commentator) quote from the Nadal-Cilic match:
Regarding Marin’s effort: “against 99 out of the top 100 guys, that would have been good enough . . . but Rafael Nadal is not in that category.”
ha ha yesss 🙂
So true 🙂
All the best for tonight. Vamos Rafa <3

Sorry for the duplicate comment. The site’s program is screwy at times.
I’ve always enjoyed Rafa’s one-armed fist pumps celebrating a won point. This time itvwas two arms doing the fist pumps toward the sky to celebrate a match won. He knows how to ramp it up in more ways than one.
RAH RAH RAFA read a spectator’s sign.
I’ve gotta empathize with Marin’s people who were cheering and clapping to support him but their faces told a different story. Yup, Rafa’s fans know that story.
RAH RAH RAFA
Brilliant stuff from Rafa ….
Bided his time but came up with the goods when he needed it .
Clever play.
Super Rafa
