Well. other youngsters (d-minor, tiafoe) looked not as bad in their test against Rafa version 2019, at least they did not eat bagel. Something strange is going on here: either
- Rafa is in his best shape ever and everybody, including Fed, would have lost this match comprehensively, or
- Tsi was "lost" (i.e. experienced a complete meltdown, especially in 3rd set, in which case my previous assertion about his poor mental strength is not unfounded)
or both above.
We will re-asses the former possibility after we watch he final (against Joker, because Pouille will be blown away like youngsters) maybe Joker will also be beaten comprehensively. Honestly I would not be surprised because I haven't seen Rafa playing so well for a long time.
