Rafael Nadal needed just 95 minutes to cement his place in the fourth round of the French Open. He encountered little resistance on court Philippe Chatrier, hitting 28 winners and saying stars started to align in Paris.
He defeated Stefano Travaglia 6-1 6-4 6-0 to set up a clash against the 20-year-old Sebastian Korda. (The American player has a cat named after Rafa.)
“The scoreline is because I did a lot of good things, I went to the net more often, I was more aggressive,” the 34-year-old said.
“I played my best match here at Roland Garros this year.”
Rafa’s stat line today:
- 28 winners
- 13 unforced errors
- 73% first serves in
- 78% first serves won
- 82% second serves won
- 53% return points won
- 6/7 break points won
- 0 break points faced
VAMOS RAFA!
Very good effort by Sebastian making the fourth round as a qualifier 👏 but not good enough against his idol, the King of Clay today. 97-2 for Rafa, how impressive!!! Keep it going Rafa 🤩😍
Good luck against Alex/Jannik 🍀
Vamos Rafa 💪❤️
I don’t know why I can see no match of Rafael Nadal. Does someone has the clue of what’s going on ?
Does someone experience the same problems ? Instead I can see a former documentary about the wolves that has already been forecast.
Magali Raga is up 4-1 in the second after winning the first set 6-1.
Wow! Is the just concluded upset of Haleo a prelude of what is to come???
We pray not. We pray not!!!
But as always……..cheers
Among all the joke-questions that have been asked to Rafa, has he already answered about why he bites the trophees ? I remember the other winners kissing them. Do the RG ones taste better than the others ?
I wanted to go to see Rafael but I am still very tired and still have not received the appropriate treatment since beginning of September. Plus transports (among other services) are very bad in my area, when I took them. I have even asked yesterday why I have so many problems with the transports, why they take time to fully answer the other people and for me always allusive, no complete answers after having waited a very long time. As usual, I get a weird answer. As I was really feeling tired, I went back home.
Hope my internet connexion will allow me to watch Rafael playing.
Rafa had better watch out for this Jordan guy tomorrow. He has a complete game like Djokovic and what’s more – he had a psychological advantage over Rafa already – He named his cat Rafa!!!! Well……..an upset could just happen!
But as always………………………………cheers
I meant Korda guy
Okay sure, thanks for the heads-up:)
