Rafa Just Do It!

Moonballing seems like the way to go. Now Rafa will serve for the match again at 6:5. This now around 4 hours they play.

[Moxie]

That was hard fought, and hard won.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In a match that went for 4 hours Rafa was fully tested physically , mentally and form wise by the young Navone
Rafa wins 67(2) 75 75
Well done to Navone tested Rafa all the way!
Rafa has made the SF hoping he still has plenty left in the tank well done Rafa!

A match to remember from this year.

Rafa has already told Navone the ole Apollo creed quote after battling Rocky Balboa. "There ain't gonna be no rematch ! Jajaja

It has been a great way to spend some of my days off from work in a match that went over 4 hours, expresso after expresso,

Seniore' Matteo really has his former girlfriend cousin's boyfriend number. FAA really lets Matteo plays his game. I dont expect Felix will survive this encounter.

Don Fabio,
If you are around Rafa plays his SF match against Serbian player and qualifier D.Ajdukovic who has won a couple of challenger events to date.
Have you any more info on him. Thanks

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Just read Holger Rune unable to finish his match against Fils at the Hamburg Open, struggling with a knee injury

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW That QF match Rafa had with Navone was the second longest BO3 match in his whole career
Only 3 minutes slower than his Madrid SF against Djokovic in 2009!

It was actually a smart play by Rafa.. He was able to get his opponent to hit the moonballs back and Rafa ran around his backhand to crush a fh.. tennis Iq. Speaking of tennis IQ.. Its always assume that Roger's was higher than most because of the way he hits the ball so smoothly. I think with the Big 3 their tennis IQ was probably equal.

If Miami is moved, Atlanta or the new Charlotte complex would be a great place to hold a tournament in late March/early April.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW,
The return of Reilly Opelka with his QF win over McKenzie McDonald at Newport, makes history as the lowest ranked SF of the ATP era ( world no 1,188)!
Quite an achievement for Opelka considering he has had a 2 year lay off.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

First time since 1985,
Newport ATP250 SFs are all American,
(WC) Opelka vs Michelsen (3)
(2) Giron vs Eubanks (4)
