That's true, Carol. Rafa got the injury in the warm up before the match started so there was no way he was going to win. He was in pain throughout but chose to finish the match. Even with that he took a set based on sheer will, but if not for the injury I doubt Stan would've won that match. Sometimes matches do have extenuating circumstances and that match qualifies.
I really hate the way different standards are always placed on Rafa, but not the others. If it was any other player people would acknowledge the injury, but Rafa never gets the benefit of the doubt. He was injured and everybody knows that.
Of course everybody knows about it but you know some X ridiculous fans always are trying to deny his injuries but at the same time they affirm that he is pro-injury......they don't know what else to say and we know why.
Since the first time that I saw Rafa playing (he was 16) I felt a serious admiration for him as player and as person, I never was concerned about if he would win more titles than anyone else or he had to be the best player in the world but after he was 18 and started to be a threat for many players and their fanatics also started to be concerned about it trying so hard underrate him, I thought it was so ridiculous to act that way that I felt more and more admiration and wishing all the best for him in all the ways including to overpass to everyone and later to say them.....take it! :lulz2:
