Nadalites – Rafa Nadal Talk

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa got sloppy on serve in the 2nd set and was broken....wins 60 63 against Kozlov
Rafa will face Tommy Paul in his next match

 

[rafanoy1992]

Nadal will now face a 4th straight American in Acapulco dating back to the 2020 Final: Fritz, Kudla, Kozlov and now Paul. I have not seen like this before in ANY tournament!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Rafa improves to 22-2 in Acapulco and 12-0 in 2022,the best start of the season of his career.At 35 years old.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

BTW David Ferrer is in Acapulco,practicing with Rafa in the day,and broadcasting the tennis at night.

 

[Jelenafan]

So Rafa’s best start ever to start a season. 12-0 with the victory over Kozlo.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

QF final match between Rafa Nadal vs Tommy Paul on Thursday February 24th not before 8pm local time

As I posted above after his win against Kozlov ...Rafa improves to 22-2 in Acapulco and 12-0 in 2022,the best start of the season of his career at 35 years young

They just said this is the 118th time that Rafa has won a set at love, the one just now over Tommy Paul. No idea how that compares with all the elite, but pretty damned good.

Your up there I was on the ATP mens site
Rafa hasnt really been troubled at all so far...though he will face the New No 1 player in the semis

I think Nadal is top of all time in terms of giving bagel sets. But do not quote on me that...

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I just checked the stats for active players in terms of giving bagel sets Rafa is 1st 118
All time is J.Connors 180

 

[Jelenafan]

He's tops along current players, something like 7th in the Open Era....

I have already answered that question above to Rafanoy I suggest you read it.

 

[Moxie]

I think we all agree that it's not important especially what Rafa does here, but he gets Medvedev tomorrow, so he has to play well, win or lose. Medvedev is going to have a lot on his head, right now. I think he's pickable.

Pickable lol! I love that word....we shall see.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Friday 25th February Semi - Final....not before 10pm local time in Mexico,

Rafa Nadal vs Daniil Medvedev.....a rematch of their recent GS final match at the AO

Rafa has had his best start to the season after his win against Tommy Paul in straight sets 60 76(5) he is 13-0 in 2022.

 

[the AntiPusher]

I think Nadal is top of all time in terms of giving bagel sets. But do not quote on me that...

I would say it would be a WTA player such as Chrisy E, Hingis, Graf possibly Seles

Just a reminder for Rafa in his s/final match with Meddy
Please double check your bag to put in a spare pair of shoes,also extra clean clothes if the match goes the distance
I also suggest you take a small pot of saw dust with you,at each ends,that should relieve some of the sweat, on your hands,putting balls in your pocket,in humid conditions,makes it worse at times.I had to laugh out loud when you spilt saw dust near your chair in your other match,and carefully with you hands cleaned up the saw dust.Thats our Rafa!

Oh this time Rafa is going to be coming out firing.. this is best of 3 not 5. This match depends on how Rafa serves! If he can keep the mad Russian deep in the backcourt and in uncomfortable position, Nadal will prevail. If not, this will be a battle.
