It's not just about physical demanding, also its how many pressure, hours on court and exciting to win

There's no pressure in doubles, only singles. He'll be fine for singles. Doubles you don't expend energy running on the baseline and you have the whole court to hit balls into. It's more fun than pressure.

Front , Rafa body will be sore from spending so much time on the hard courts..plus his left shoulder and fore arm is gonna be worn down..dude, you clearly haven't played much competitive tennis

He's playing a guy in singles who has barely played in 2 years and will win no problem.

Tecau's overheads are class. He should teach Novak how to hit them.

All the soreness in the shoulder and forearm will be compensated by the neck injury he gets when they put the gold medal on him. :)

In case u don't understand, the tiredness gets nullified by the win.

After Mergea missed the first overhead, I think Lopez intentionally gave him another one realizing he is nervous.

Lopez was also very nervous but they got the W and the Gold.. BTW.. Lopez has some Johnny Mac type of hands at the net and Rafa baseline game was remarkable. CC bhs and FHs and DTL FHs.. My Lord even DarthFed had to be impressed with his play(We Know this is a LIE):laydownlaughing

He must feel pretty bad missing those 2 overheads so badly, especially the last one. Tecau by comparison is class at overheads. Can imagine he's not too happy with his buddy's screw ups.

Kei Nishikori is the new Tomas Berdych. Useless.

I'm not watching it, but looks like a close match with Rafa and Delpo. So glad to see Delpo comeback so strongly. Tennis would greatly benefit from a healthy, prime Delpo for a couple years.

I'm also glad to see Rafa playing well. A healthy Rafa (and Delpo) will make the US Open far more interesting.
