What a match.I was on the edge of my seat.excellent tennis luck like a finals so good .vamosssssssssss champ all the way to the finals love your fans for ever 🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾👍👍👍👍👍😘😘😘😘😘❤️❤️❤️🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Worried about his knees. He seems to be stiff as he was when I saw him at the O2 last year. Commentators have spotted some avoidance in putting pressure on his right knee and journos have reported him limping:( I’m preparing for the worse and praying it’s not so bad that 2 days recovery will be enough to sort it out.
Good luck against Del Potro
Wamos Rafa, you are the best.
