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

Good Grief.. More Jim Courier commentating on Rafa's matches.. I am just going to hit the mute button. I cant enjoy the matches listening to him. I cant be the only one that feels that way.

You’re not. Courier is an arrogant gas bag.

What....Rafa's match hasnt finished yet....I just tuned in

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa why do you have trouble serving for a match? again like yesterday you have been broken.

This time he had match point too...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

This time he had match point too...

I will watch the whole match on replay later....Rafa seems flat to me

Meanwhile, FAA is a break up over Sinner in the 1st set. I do wonder if FAA is too powerful for Sinner at this point of their career. Also, the altitude is should help FAA's game a little bit.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Help me Rafa....Wake Up...going 3 sets now....find your 1st serve for starters

Unfortunately Andy Murray is unable to take to the Manolo Santana Stadium due to illness.Novak Djokovic gets a walkover to the next round.
Instead, Andrey Rublev and Daniel Evans will open the day's play on centre court

Judging by the photo here the illness might be hyper flatulence

 

[rafanoy1992]

Well, if he wins this match, then more than likely he will lose to Alcaraz tomorrow.

Playing like this he will....maybe he did a bit too much celebrating last night after Real Madrid win

Gosh Sinner won just 3 games against FAA....61 62...high altitude probably helped FAA game, though his serving was off the charts yesterday in his match

 

[rafanoy1992]

Wow! Probably surprising result of the tournament so far: FAA destroys Sinner on Clay, 6-1 6-2. Let's see if FAA can carry this momentum...

I would like to see them play each other say in Rome? without high altitude,FAA was impressive in his match yesterday

Obi Wan is really making Nadal work today.. This is what I was alluding too, Rafa is gonna have matches like this because he is rusty.

To be fair, AP, he had match point on his own serve. So, while he is rusty, Nadal should have finished this match a long time ago.

But that is the memo for Nadal since he turned 30, he has difficulties closing on matches.

 

[rafanoy1992]

Here we go: 3rd set tiebreaker...

Here we go: 3rd set tiebreaker...
