I think French Federation of Tennis doing their job very well and there is nothing wrong wit Guy Forget and CO. To organize such a grand slam event is a tremendous giant job requiring experience of years.
Keep it up Rafa
Come on Rafa! You can do it. Calm down. Please
I m so anxious and nervous! But our boy has got this. 🤞. We need to send positive energy to our champ. Everyone take a deep breath, calm down and send this love and support to our Rafa. Vamos 💪💪💪
My partner sitting beside me is die hard Fed fan. 😐
How do you people cope with the anxiety? I’m scared that Nadal will lose 😖
They’ve only played one game and I feel ill already! I’m a nervous wreck, and there’s the worry about the weather as well.
These players are too accustomed to the word of Anxiety. They have been trained to be so. Years after years, they
have practicing to take away this word away from their vocabulary. They are simply the soldiers,(SEAL)who have to battle a constant war of tennis- game.
They have great mental – physical echo.
Go Rafa! We have got this. Do to Roge what you did to djoker in Rome. It’s been long overdue. All the best champ. Trophy is yours to lift. Vamos💪
Four hours till the match starts. Go for it champ. We are all with you <3
Vamos Rafa
Thank you for the video! I watched it over and over and loved it👍
I also enjoyed this incredible shot by Rafa during the match by watching Tennis Channel Plus not Tennis Channel once again, 👎 to Tennis Channel.
I know conditions will be tricky tomorrow, all the best to you RAFA!❤️
The plot thickens…. No surprise it is Thiem / Djokovic…Should be a tough match to which I honestly want Novak to win….
Rafa will come out tomorrow ready,willing and able to take care of business upon his friend Roger Federer…
He knows exactly what to do and he will execute … It might be close but Roger had a relatively easy run
to the semi’s (Ok…Stan was a challenge) but now he will face the MAN… The KING of CLAY.
And Rafa has nothing to fear… it’s Roger who will be flying from corner to corner as Rafa wears him down…
And eventually Roger will be going home saying Rafa is the greatest player ever to play the clay court…
And then… Sunday…. Rafa/ Djokovic finals….
And again our boy is ready… This time he unleashes the beast on Novak… and this time Novak can’t say he was exhausted like in Rome…
He will lose fair and square.
And Rafa will raise the trophy once again at Roland Garros, while I shed a few tears and raise a glass of champs…
Nice story …right?

Love your comments. Wish I could like it more than once. 😊
Love your comment Marileena
Awww… Thank you Rafan….you’re very kind…
Gotta say…I’m so nervous and excited right now… as I can only imagine he is in the locker room
jumping and keeping loose…
Sending all my positive energy Rafa’s way…
Vamos Rafa!!!!
I could swing for Sascha! He was going so well, and then he served for the first set and completely lost the plot.
Khachanov and Zverev got butchered out there by Thiem and Djokovic respectively. So the usual suspects on clay are all into the semis.
Five down and two to go Rafa. Point by point…..
Roger will play like he’s on a hard court and try to rush Rafa to shorten the points. I’m hoping that Rafa will serve well and make it physical. Good luck champ. 💪🏼👍🏼😘
BEST of luck tomorrow to Rafa and keep Roger GUESSING. Scramble his brain Rafa.
RAFA ROCKS
Can’t wait for tomorrow. Go for it champ <3
Federer knows that his winning grand slams career is over and that is one of the reasons why he trained on clay and returned to Roland Garros. Guy Forget and co. have disgracefully treated him like the king of clay, thereby denigrating Rafa, the true king of clay. RF’s last bid to preserve his goat status will certainly fail hopefully in the hands of Rafa, if not certainly by Djokovicz or Thiem at a final. I wish Rafa would not respect this cheat, but then he would not be Rafa, the best on and off court.
