Nadalites – Rafa Nadal Talk

Yeah that match grew in dread as it progressed. Same in 2022 but he got a grip on that one before it slid away…

If you look at his record at RG and on clay, the tennis Gods have been more than favorable to Rafa.. go back to watch the Rome final vs Roger that took 5sets.. it’s incredible how resilient he was at such a young age.

Except for the injuries, yeah he’s been greatly blessed..

He’s right. And I know a very strong Rafa fan who decided not to watch it cos the conditions favoured Djoker. But Rafa felt it that day. I think he even said that to someone before the match. No way he was going to lose. It was immense and kudos to Djoker for making the third set competitive..

The first 2 sets Rafa played were "Vintage Rafa' I just sat back and was in awe of the way he played, he just went up another gear, agree 'no way he was going to lose. I was waiting for a response from Novak it came, but Rafa would not be denied.
