[Jelenafan]

As long as Rafa can suffer on through, we can suffer along with him.

Being a Rafa fan has never been for the faint of heart.

I trained as a Safin fan.

Now talk about someone who wasted his talent and should have more slams.

My point.

 

[Moxie]

Meds kicking in?

Classic Shapo firehose spraying errors?

I’ll stake you that and add David Nalbandian.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa you had a couple of BPs in Shapo service game
Going 5....This is a Match From Hell

 

[Moxie]

¡Vamos, Rafa! Grit and belief...you can do it!

[Sundaymorningguy]

This match is giving me so much anxiety.

 

[Moxie]

I’ll stake you that and add David Nalbandian.

Lucky for me I was never in the Nalbandian camp.

While I wasn’t a Nalbandian fan, someone with his ball striking ability to not have a slam is a crime.

I am having Flashbacks in the q/final match Rafa v The Young Greek at the AO.Rafa was leading 2 sets to love then and we all know what happened

Wasn’t it a QF when he retired against Murray? I don’t remember what round the Ferrer match was.

 

[Sundaymorningguy]

I was always a Del Potro guy. It was a shame injuries did him in because if anyone should have been out there taking slams from Rafa, Roger, and Novak it’s Del Po.

I meant he was beaten by The Young Greek when he was leading 2 sets to love

 

[tented]

I meant he was beaten

I know. I’m just trying to remember if these others loses were also QFs.

Okay

You missed the point.
