I hope it is not too late for Rafa to turn this match around, Alex is too good today.
Vamos Rafaβ€οΈ
Mimi, with Zverev serving so well, it’s a tall order. Looks like the only way for Rafa to turn things around is if Zverev gets nervous and serves loads of double faults.
Lorna, I am afraid you are right. Letβs see……
SMASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) AD NADAL!!!!! LOVE YOU CHAMP…..GREAT HOLDING!!!!!!!!!:)

Rafa looks flat. It’s a fast court, low bouncing balls and Rafa is being rushed into making errors. Zverev, on the other hand, is serving really well. Let’s hope Rafa works his way into the match.
BEAUTIFUL SHARP 2ND ACE!!!!!!!!!!:) GO RAFA GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)
Zverev servebotting, Rafa making too many errors. Press the reset button Rafa!!
KEEP GOING SWEETHEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) XOXOXOXOXO
Rafa needs to find a plan B.
Rafa not having a good day at the office today. Seems rusty somehow, not dialed in as usual.
You gonna hang in there champ or what?
VAMOS SWEETHEART!!!!!!!!:) IT IS OK…..KEEP GOING….NO BIG DEAL…..YOUR PRECIOUS SERVE IS SOLID AND YOU LOOK GREAT OUT THERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) VAMOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)XOXOXOXOXO
Good luck, Rafaβ€
I am so anxious and could not sleep well, set my alarm clock at 3:45am but didn’t need it…….
So far so good. No news is good news. I don’t want a last minute shock like in Paris, so i’ll be really pleased to see Rafa step out and bounce up and down.
All the best champ.
Buena suerte, Champ!
I don’t know exactly what it is but I’m feeling a weird energy from this tournament… Perhaps its Fed’s loss to Thiem and now Miedvedev’s loss to Tsitsipas…both of which I was surprised as it just shows… anything can happen.
I am very happy Rafa is playing today as he has said many times that he needs to be 100% to play…and we have not heard anything contrary to that…. (as I breathe a sigh of relief)
Good luck Rafa…. You know Sascha’s game and we know yours….
Stay focused , find your rhythm, keep the points short, and take it to him…
VAMOS RAFA!!!
Yes, it’s been a weird start. You never know what to expect from Dominic, and even less so from Sascha – why did he have to choose today to be at his best?! – but Daniil’s played so well lately that I really didn’t expect him to lose to Stef.
I agree Set… and today…. Rafa’s game was completely off… It was a tough day for him and for us… Hard to tell what it was that was throwing him off… lack of practice, maybe fear of injuring himself again… who knows…
Hioefully he can put this behind him as he has Wednesday to redeem himself…
Retirement talk is boring. This is an unprecedented era for tennis, and the next gen can learn from the top three-there is a huge gap between their accomplishments and those of the remaining challengers. While some fans are entertained by crude language and behaviour, the stats tell the real story. The talent, passion, and endurance of Federer, Nadal, and Djokovic are not consistently challenged by the rest of the field. Sparse attendance is evident when the top three are not
participating. Tiresome antics of some challengers-flipping the bird while on a televised match, stomping on racquets, throwing chairs, swearing, etc. Do not expect us to travel and pay for this.
Ask the big three about physical endurance and mental acuity. Some of the challengers are aging out, are injured, or lack mental toughness.
I hope Rafa is in top top condition, come on champ win the tottle.
Come ON Rafa you can win this.
Good luck Rafa.
JUSTICE AND VICTORY TO THE BETTER PLAYER….TSITSIPAS
OLA…….OLA…….OLA…….OLA……AND VAMOS SWEETHEART!!!!!!!!!!!:) WE LOVE YOU SO AND SENDING LOTS OF LOVE AND HAPPINESS YOUR WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) ENJOY LOTS OF FUN TONIGHT AND HAVE A BEAUTIFUL TIME!!!!!!!!:) IT WILL BE A GREAT MATCH FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!:) CI………CI……..CI………AND WI………..WI………WI……… WE WILL BE ENJOYING EACH POINT YOU PLAY SWEETHEART !!!!!!!!!!!!!:) VAMOS AND VERY HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!:) ENJOY A LOVELY AFTERNOON AND A BEAUTIFUL EVENING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:) GO RAFA GO AND VAMOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):) XOXOXOXOXOXOXOXO
VAMOS SWEETHEART!!!!!!!:) PLEASE CHALLENGE THIS EVENING …….TSITSIPAS JUST PLACED A SHARP CLEAN ACE WHICH WAS CALLED OUT….UMPIRE JUST SITS THERE PASSIVE AND LACKING FULL ENGAGEMENT ON WHATS GOING ON AND DID NOT OVER RULE THE BAD MISCALL….. TSITSIPAS ACTUALLY HAD A SENSE HIS ACE WAS IN…HE WALKED 1/2 WAY BUT DID NOT FOLLOW HIS GUT…. MEDVEDEV WAS RIGHT THERE FACING FULL FRONT IN THE MIDDLES OF COURT, SAW THE ACE AND DID NOT SAY ANYTHING …..HOPE TSITSIPAS TAKES THE SET…..LOVE THE WAY STEFANOS COVERS THE COURT WITH HIS CREATIVE OVERALL TOP TENNIS!!!!!:) YAASUE!!!!!!:)
Rafa will be a great dad.
All the best for your match today. Hope you are fine and ready. Vamos Rafa <3
Iβve read Moya said Rafa is a 100%. I hope so…
