Rafa had a bad day , Zverev had a magical day . That is sport . No negatives please . I was in O2 and so disappointed for Rafa . He didn’t make excuses. Going again on Wednesday and think he will be back in the groove . Go Rafa , we are always with you 🍀🌟👍
I found Rafa to be very off his game as he was on the defensive from the get go and making too many unforced errors . Yes , Sasha played great but Rafa did not make any adjustments after losing the 1st set . The first serve was just Ok and Rafa didn’t react quickly to attack the return of serve .
I think Rafa must play more serve and volley and try to rerurn closer to the baseline in order to take the serve earlier . I like Rafa to make the necessary adjustments as its mostly mental and a confidence boost needed .
Always amusing to read this type of advice . Think Rafa and his team know what to do . We support always
i agree . just reacted emotionally to seeing Sasha win easily .
All is not lost. Put this defeat behind you Rafa, move forward and approach Wednesday’s match with fresh eyes and greater energy.
Rafa your biorhythm was just off today! I know you will come back on Wednesday as you are the number 1
tennis player in the world. Relax and you will win this entire event !!
Vamos Rafa!!
I thought this was the most demoralising match I’d seen since the Aussie Open final. I don’t know if it was the injury or the lack of match practice or just one of those days – and the fact that Sascha played so well. Fingers crossed for better things on Wednesday. I hope it wasn’t the injury and that he’s not playing when he’s not fully fit, and risking hurting himself further.
Better luck on Wednesday Rafa.
Rafa you can do this bad day for you i know, you were not your self today. Good luck for next match .Vamoose.
I really hope he will be better on wednesday because today was not got enough to earn a place in the semi-finals.
