Hope the other match will be ready soon..Can’t wait for Rafa😉
Good luck champ <3
Very good interview with Francisco Roig yesterday, I think, on the atptour website. I’ve not seen an interview with him before, and thought he gave very well considered, articulate responses. He knows Rafa so well, his remarks were so balanced, he seems a cut above most of the coaches on the tour.
Good luck always, Rafa!
OUR PRECIOUS CHAMP RAFA NADAL HAS THE RIGHT COACH WITH HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) I ALWAYS ADMIRE ROIG’S KINDNESS, UNSELFISH ENERGY, AND INTELLIGENCE.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) HE IS A GREAT POSITIVE FORCE AND WE HAVE HIGH REGARD AND RESPECT FOR HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : ) HE IS LIKE RAFA….ACTION MAN MODEST, STRONG AND HUMBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : )
Rafa, can’t wait to watch your quarterfinal match with Sam Querrey!
Good luck and good match, you can do it! Vamos Rafa💪❤️
