Mutua Madrid Open, Madrid, Spain, 2022 - Masters 1000

Toilet Break,
The Kid basically has been hampered by his right ankle which was already taped before he had his fall
Does he play on and risk it?

He has also pointed at his hand/wrist while looking at his box.

I also saw that, not having a good day in the 'magic box'....

If he’s so injured he hasn’t won a game since the fall, maybe he should retire and make sure he’s OK for Rome and Paris.

My Spanish is too shabby....where is Moxie when we need her

Basically what Rafa said to Carlos.. Hey dude.. Let's take it down a bit and save it for Roma and RG. There's no need to kill ourselves or put our career in harms way. We got a nice appearance fee and all our bills are covered! jajaja

I feel he will play on,though if I was in his coaching team I would want him to retire, Rome and more importantly RG is not too far away

That’s exactly what I thought they said.

Roma Miss Margaret Roma

Roma Miss Margaret Roma

Si.....another factor playing in Spain he does not want to upset the fans by retiring

 

[tented]

He seems to be better now.

the adrenalin and meds have kicked in , young Carlos movement is ok for now. There's no substitute for being young.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Hell here we go again Rafa down love 40 on serve

Preach, brother!

 

[the AntiPusher]

This has been an absolutely horrible match by numbers for Rafa.. He is being totally out played, out classed and I dont understand why he is playing with so much margin. He cant win this match, Roma or RG like this. He aint READY. He needs to tap out and head to Italy.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

That was a Horrid service game from Rafa when he was broken and Alcaraz consolidates and leads 4-1

 

[tented]

So, let’s see: we’ve gone from wondering if Carlito should retire to him being up 4-1 in the 3rd. Did I get that right?

Main point is if Alcaraz wins this game, hoping he does not wake up tomorrow and his ankle is not good enough to meet Novak on clay.

And give Novak his second walkover this week? I can’t even …

Let's not go there

 

[the AntiPusher]

Now Rafa decides to pick up his level of play.. I think its too late. Either way, Rafa will not defeat Novak on this concrete sprinkled with red brick dust per Moxie.. I'm tired of mentioning her name.. what else could be more important, Family, health, life work.. where is she..jajaja

 

[the AntiPusher]

Let's not go there

why not. if I was on his team I would advise him not to play.. Novak is like a South American vulture is a bird of prey that will scavenges on young Carlos's carcass IMO.
