Mutua Madrid Open, Madrid, Spain, 2024 - Masters 1000

Oh, for heavens sake. He complained about one call. You champion a guy who complains about everything: calls, the crowd, his box, the wind....

Actually Rafa was correct the ball was out (the mark on the court show )and the Hawkeye was inaccurate on clay.

Come home to Roma Rafa we always welcome the 10 time Masters Champion!

Oh yeah of Lil Faith

Credit to Lehecka he has been playing solid tennis of late, I knew this would be a test for Rafa, still Rafa has got enough matches at this Fake Clay and High Altitude event

 

[Moxie]

He got what he came to Madrid for, some matches. I mean he can take target practice w/ some FH's for the next few games, but I wouldn't put in any extra effort to take this to a 3rd set.

 

[Moxie]

Is it me, or does Lehecka look like he could be Swiatek's brother?

 

[kskate2]

Iga's brother and T-Berd's 2nd cousin...

Definitely don't go three! But Rafa doesn't have any quit in him.

Please @kskate2 Miss Kelli.Rafa didn't become the Goat and KOC with that throw em cards mentality..We fight and punch til someone falls

 

[kskate2]

Well look, he might not have to do anything. The kid's level could drop and he might beat himself

He doesn't look like Berdych, but he plays like him. I saw above that Berdy is coaching him. And TC mentioned the similarities in their games.

THIS dude is serving 141 on clay. That's insane

Maybe if U use a modifier like "cuter brother!" Iga's no raving beauty like Evonne Goolagong, Gabriela Sabatini, or Anna Kournikova!

I doubt it .he is doing the revenge of Soderling and Berdych

The kid will do well on the grass, it suits his game

Goolagang was never good looking to me. Sabatini is still on my list to conquer

I made no judgement either way. But look at the eyes, nose, coloring. Same flat chest.

 

[kskate2]

Well, that was kind of anti-climatic. Maybe he's taking our advice and moving on.

 

[Moxie]

It's hard to complain about losing to someone who played that well. Good news, Rafa looks good, and healthy. Fantastic Lehecka. Full credit.
