‘Help him’ and not humans
I don’t dare dream – especially after the AO. Also roger and Novak are playing very well. Also both of them are working with data analytics. Novak has Craig O’shannessy to help humans also ivanisevic.
Saw the way they were analysing Rafa’s game today.
I hope Rafa plays really well and gets better and better so that he comes out in too.
Go Rafa go
VAMOS!!!!!!
Rafa fan 1, they are not the only ones using data. I am happy to know that Carlos and team are also using data analytics to help Rafa work on what needs improving. Carlos has brought Rafa into the 21st century. In Carlos’ interview he said it was initially difficult to convince Rafa that the numbers work. Let Djokovic do what he wants. Rafa has the best team so try not to worry.
RAFAMAZING ROCKS
