Why is Rafa returns service from south central LA

This is one of the aspects of Rafa's game I have always found puzzling. Why return from so far back? I really don't see why.

Rafa usually has a very good return but today he CAN'T play worse than that :mad:

Nah, Rafa ROS has been gone walkabout for the past 2 years. It left with his backhand.

DYjr has tennis talent but he still isn't fundamental sound and his mental approach to this game isn't nowhere near the level of his talent, IMO

Larry should make Rafa check out of his place and get a room at the Best Western for this abysmal performance

The Canadian audience is not interested in that match-up.

Best Western is far too upmarket for Rafa on this Horrid performance

Let him hire a tent for the rest of his stay at IW.

Back to the womens match.

Only the serve? I think he has to practice all the shots! :s :( :puzzled :cover :rolleyes:

I did say 'amongst other things'?

Good thing they switched to the milos match after the other one was over.

Good win for Milos. Dog can be tricky.

I was nervous when I saw Dolgo in his draw, because their lone match last year here at IW in the QF, went in straights to Alex. and you never know what he'll throw at you.
Milos is much more composed than he used to be a year ago.

For Dolgo, this exit will result in a loss of many points, he will drop out of the top 60 as a consequence.

This will be a interesting match up...Tommy of course is in the twilight of his career,still they both have one handed bhands,I expect Dimi to win,though Tommy will not go out without a fight....I hope.
