Is it really unsporting of me to hope that Nole’s knackered after two long matches today 🙂 ?!
You have awesomw handle (name), btw. Who were you pilling for to win, Djokovic or Senoro?
Kind of hoping if Nole is tired then it’ll help Rafa out … but hopefully he won’t need helping out!
No it’s not! We all want him to be Knackered as well. The only problem is Novak plays possum! We have all seen him stagger around like he’s going to fall from exhaustion only to get a reinsertion of energy and polish off the match. I believe it’s a game he plays.He’s a gnarly, strategic, player
who is chasing the GOAT. Rafa is also a very methodical player but he is not fake! I’m hoping on clay Rafa will have the advantage.It’s been hard for Novak because he doesn’t have the love of the fans like Rafa and Roger have! 💜💜Rafa!
Tévedés! Novák szereti a rajongókat! Novák nem szereti a gyülölködő közönséget!
A rajongók nem egyenlő a gyűlölködőkkel!
I think Rafa has Upper hand tomorrow as always on clay but both are hungry….It will also spice up the debate of Year end no.1 once our Rafa wins tomorrow
You need correction where you quote” our champ has won last 14 from 16 titles” I think they combined won 14 from last 16 events of rome
Good luck in the finl Rafa! We are all behind you!
Absolutely!👍
