So hope to see you soon.
Greetings

Really felt tfor Rafa today in Sydney. He tries his best, what more can the man, 36yrs old to do just right now. He needs plenty real matches between now and AO, not just practise.
Wish you the very Best Rafa for up and coming AO.
I watched the first set and Rafa looked great. Champ seemingly ran out of steam in the end.
He’ll be alright if these losses don’t settle in his head and pull down his confidence.
It looks like Rafa doesn‘t have enough power to compete at this level right now😔
It seems that fatherhood is draining his energy ! Hopefully he will recover.
Rafa loses in 3 sets. The last set was 7-5 but Rafa did not win a point in the last two games. It looked like he could have won the third set before running out of gas. Long match. Four double faults.
I conclude that it’s a longer road back than we might have assumed. Let’s go Rafa!
