Excellent performance, Rafa.
Congrats Rafa!!! 👏👏👏 (this is me screaming out loud and applauding you hard)… so proud of you… I am pretty sure that you will be ready for FO…
You got this.. VAMOS !!!
Was sooo happy to watch you play so well in Rome!! Your ball placement was amazing against Tsitsipas and the 6-0 first set against Joker was a dream come true for me to watch.
I will be coming to Paris from California to watch The French Open and have tickets for June 5th. Can’t wait. Never been the French Open. Vamos Rafa!
Yes, I went to R Garros today for the qualifications , saw several matches and players training like Coric and Cilic ☺ Rafa has not yet arrived 😐 He went back to Majorca to put the Rome trophy 👑 under glass in his Muséum in the Aca. See it on the RafaNadal Academy site. 😃 Fiona in Paris
Too good Rafa!! I stayed up throughout to know d final score you just did too amazingly well & of all d opponents it was Joker (not a fan definitely). Keep healthy & I believe FO is yours to be added on your GS I have full faith in you!!! Also d next Gen can wait.
Congratulations Rafa. I know you can always beat anybody when you are atleast 90% fit. Unfortunately injury had not help you.
All the we Thank God for the Grace and will for keep on competing and still winning.
No one can surpass your record in this open era.
I am your big fan,attimes I panic to watch you play these days cause I don’t like seeing you loosing.
I am for your win against Novak.
BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats to you champ Rafa. So very happy that you made it to the final. You made my day so great. May you stay confident and fit and healthy. All the best to RG!!!! Vamos Rafa!!!!!!!
Commentators were talking about Novak probably being tired etc. But one of them said that Novak has won despite that in the past. Also referred to the AO a number of times talking of how superbly he played against Rafa etc. Well yes Novak played very well but in the other hand Rafa played differently and miserably giving Novak a lot of opportunity to play that way. No one thinks like that – these people always make excuses for Novak and Roger.
Here I don’t think Novak played badly at all Rafa was just better!!!!
VAMOS Rafa!!!!!!!!!!!
Keep working on mental fitness and belief especially where Novak is concerned. He didn’t hand over the match to you even though the commentator kept saying N’s Level gone down (rubbish) Rafa just didn’t let him. Rafa anyway gave away the 2nd set. He must be careful not to do that. The 1st and 3rd sets were 💪💪💪💪💪.
Keep it up Rafa, tennis champion on all surfaces!!!!
Bravo dear Rafa. Really enjoyed watching the match. Unbelievable level of tennis. Well done. Enjoy some rest and relaxation then onwards to Roland Garros.
So sad I missed the game. Very happy you won , We are not Jerkavic fans at all. He has a big inflated ego. I love your tennis abilities and you truly are a humble man. Love to you Raffa. Congratulations to you on the upcoming nuptials. Good luck for the future games ahead . When you play late I stay up all night to watch.
I was so glad to see the “beast” today. Wonderful to see you so happy. I look forward to seeing the “beast” again at RG. Congrats to our dear Rafa.
Sooooo happy for you Rafa . Hearty congratulations
Well done Rafa! congrats and looking forward for the RG 🏆❤️❤️❤️
Congratulations Rafa well don champ you can do it love ❤️ Vamossssssssss the King of Clay 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆💪❤️🌎
You played at one of your highest levels so very happy for you.
Congrats!🌝🌸
Rafa has now won a title in 16 consecutive years. He has just overtaken Roger Federer, who managed 15. Well done Rafa, most of all it’s lovely to see you smiling and happy!
History was made again <3
I’ve been waiting for this. Well done my beloved.
That’s how we roll !!!!!
