I really think Rafa has come to terms with his foot by now, he will always have good and not so good days,
Poor Muzz had food poisoning try to be kind to him
OTOH, I’m thinking the more matchplay Rafa gets, the better. From what I understand too much time off doesn’t help the foot either, it’s all a matter of trying to best manage chronic pain.
Today's match vs baby Rafa is not important for the run to RG. Rafa's game looks great at times and the most important thing this week was to get some matches to be match tough in a few weeks. Madrid or Roma is not the goal.
I understand for Rafa the prime goal is RG....Rafa is still rusty and of course getting match play and getting his rhythm is the most important thing leading to RG
Understandable because he played an 3-hour match less than 24 hours ago.
Realize the previous match played in 3 hrs took a lot out of him,though he should have won in straight sets
If he is nervous, that’s a good sign meaning he is getting to the RG “level” he wants to achieve. Just needs to clean his game up at Rome.
Finally! I am very curious to see on how Alcaraz fares with Djokovic on Clay.
Hmmm not today my friend. Brother Rafa is gonna have to empty the tank to win. It's not worth it. Save it for Roma and RGRafa in straights today, no fecking around. He’s still Rafa, it’s still clay, the kid is still a kid..
