It's December 8 here in South America too. I have a great feeling that Novak's vaccine vaccination card is going to eventually be some cause for controversy. Stay tune
Well it is now 17th December here in Sydney lol!
Dude relax.. mucho tranquilo..it's just an exbo.. Rafa couldn't beat Andy Murray who is the.... jajajaWow! Murray's not doing much to be taking this match! Nadal's just not all there! How can he be a favorite "down under" playing like this?
Yes, exactly. To say Rafa did "nothing" is a bit much, but Fiero never met a hysterical exaggeration he couldn't shout out.
It was a 2-hour 2-setter. And I thought Rafa looked pretty good, first match back. Andy's been playing some good tennis again, of late. And tomorrow Rafa gets Shapo, so I think it's a good way to get back in the swing.
This is what I was saying..this will be a total different Rafa in mid January..
I also have players that I don't like,I just don't watch them,unless they are playing my favorite players

Rafa hasn't played for months,I did not expect him to win.I love a good humiliation of Rafa or Andy! IMO it's just a little more embarrassing for Nadal to go down to a "pusher" like Murray!
Who are you quoting with "he'll be luck to win another major?" And "27/28?" And you can say "rare upsets," but he did lose a lot to Roger and Rafa, earlier in his career. And to others. And he retired a lot. Oh, you mean when he went on the 2 year walkabout? You say that "drama had to be going on behind the scenes." So you give him a pass. What drama? Anyway, you should give the same "pass" to Roger and Rafa when they haven't been 100% and Novak got to hoover up some Majors. We good?I ony give Fedal fans GRIEF because Novak isn't allowed a bad outing; EVER! "It's a colossal choke job that he didn't complete his CYGS just 1 match away; 27/28! His run is finally over! He ll be lucky to win another major!" The hyperbole is always out of control because Nole's normally the most prepared of the the Big 3 each and every time he goes out there! The rare upsets occurred 2017-early 2018! Drama had to be going on behind the scenes so I give him a pass! I used to think Ivan Lendl was the All Time true "Iron Man" of the tennis elites! Djokovic's stretching obsession has probably kept him on court more than anything and will put numbers of sustain consistency out of sight in the record books! It's the reason he owns the Aussie Open even with the many wins of Federer! What's helped is Nadal's never ready early in the season; hence only winning ONE "down under" after so many attempts! Now I've jinxed NOVAK!
41 UFE, which isn't bad for the avg ATP players but we know 5-9 UFE per set is probably the range that would be acceptable for Rafa whenever he gets his matches behind him. I actually liked the way he was serving and volley. I didn't expect a lot from him either and those UFE would have been higher if he didn't slice his backhand. As his confidence grows Rafa will be coming over his BH..DTL and the gorgeous CC BH which is his second most dangerous weapon and when it's is hitting with precision, he will be playing on finals Sunday.
How was Rafa in the tiebreak? They’re never a given with him, so I’m glad he grabbed this one.
Rafa was awful in the TBR..but all credit to Dennis he was spectacular..Better overall combined performance than vs Murray. Rafa should be excited with his level of play to this point Bravo and Vamos
