  1. Rafa was slated to play either Khachanov or Berrettini in the QF but both of them lost their matches. Who could be Rafa’s QF opponent? Anyone know? Thanks.

    RAFA ROCKS

      • Thanks va4favre.

        Yes, this could be a VERY tough match for Rafa if Stan is over his sprained back after his match against Tiafoe. Stan recently lost to Andy so his confidence level could be lower than usual.

        As long as Rafa has gotten into his rhythm and he is 100% he should win this match. He’s got a great team behind him and that’s always a positive.

        RAFA FOR THE WIN

      • Tsonga took the match in a tie break…

        Interesting…. Thiem had a rough day and so did Sascha Z … They are both out!

        Rafa knows Stan really well… I agree with Margo… Rafa should win match providing he’s focused and well….

        VAMOS RAFA!!
