I HOPE YOU PLAY WITH ALL OF YOUR GUSTO AND HEART AND THAT YOU WILL KNOW THAT ALL IS POSSIBLE IN YOUR HEAD AND HEART. . OUT THINK HIM RAFA. SERVE AT HIM,,,…NOT. TOHIS STRNGTH.
VAMOS ,VAMOS,VAMOS. SAILON
Rafa’s words and reactions to reaching the final are so heartwarming. His joy in being able to compete at such a high level is palpable. He just keeps spreading joy to his team, family and fans. Wishing him all the best against Medvedev.
Well said, Margo.👍
Stay cool and calm champ Rafa. You’re a great warrior, a fighter. Stay confident and feel the moment like when you were so eagerly fighting for each point to lift the trophy. Your fans are all behind you. All the best champ Rafa and God bless us all.
Rafa should play just like he did the 1st 2 sets against Dennis and Matteo by playing aggressive attacking tennis and getting on top . Set 3 and hopefully not 4bwill likely be an adventure but I think being up 2 sets will lead to the trophy .
Bite the trophy Rafa! <3
Rafa good luck you got this is your time to win vamosssssss champ we are with you all the way you have our support 🔥👍🇺🇸💪👏🎾👎👎🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🇺🇸❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Have fun and do your best! I pray this for you every time you are playing a match. 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
Ash Barty said that, even in the cooler conditions today, the ball still bounced high, so that’s a plus for you Rafa. Outwit Medvedev in the brain game. Serve well, as you’ve been doing and mix it up. Don’t get drawn into super long rallies and ignore your any antics from your opponent. Vamos!!!
I’m wholeheartedly behind you Rafa, make us proud. Don’t fall for Medvedev’s mind games he got it right with Tsitsipas. You have the game to beat him. Can’t wait for the final, I’m so excited 😆
Can’t wait for tomorrow. All the best Rafa and enjoy the match❤️
First and foremost, enjoy yourself out there, Rafa! I know you will have a plan A, plan B or even a plan C if need be. You are always such a great problem solver, warrior and competitor! It’s so great to feast my eyes on such exciting tennis the past 2 weeks. Best of luck down under! You are always a joy to watch!
Nadal final chance to win the australian open tomorrow i pray that hé will be heather fresh and serve and return unbelievable well tomirrow agressive and play serve and volley that is how nole beat medvedev in paris indoor
Rafa! Get your tactics right champ, and come out swinging tomorrow. If you give Medvedev an inch, you’ll suddenly find yourself down 1-6, and that’s a no-no. So jump him right from the start and maintain the intensity!
Daniil has about 10 good years to go winning any slam he wants… but you Rafa, must consider now that each slam final you play might be your last. So make the most of it and let’s make history tomorrow!!
Get it done CHAMP!!
Congratulations to you Rafa. I wish you the Rey very best in the final. You are a great player and a great person. Enjoy yourself, I pray you stay healthy and confident all day. God bless you and good luck too. Love you. Mary Lynn
