Rafa has always played the same way – lights out tennis
Andrey Rublev wrote “No war please” on the camera after his victory today. I think that echoes the feeling of most.
I don’t think any other player has fans that celebrate and suffer through every point! Rafa is the best. I’m hoping for less humidity and a fast start tonight. Vamos!
Vamos Rafa. All the best for today❤️
Fantastic effort Rafa, in high heat and humidity. Not ideal conditions and Tommy played a brilliant second set. Actually he played lights out tennis and so happy Rafa found solutions in the humid conditions. His attacking play saved him, since Tommy was winning the longer rallies. Really happy Rafa said he needs to win matches quickly and playing accordingly. The match against Medvedev is 50-50 but no matter what happens, he has had enough match practice prior to Indian wells. All the best Rafa for the semis and after.
Well Tommy he play the 2 set a lot better but Rafa pull and finishing wining I’m so happy for Rafa vamosssssss champ you can do it again against the Rusia good luck 🔥👍💪❤️💯👏🥰🥰🎾🌎🙏🙏🙏🙏we are preying for you to play beater 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
