Ah no! The Irishman accused Cali of thinking that’s all Rafa is. A working donkey doing heavy lifting, sweating and grunting as he labours. But Rafa is so much more, as we saw a few weeks ago...
You didn't say over the past decade. Roger has by far the better record. Stop changing the parameters when you bluster and brag.
I have Rafa and The Young Greek in the final
Oh, stop acting like Novak defending it is a big deal, or @Bonaca making out like it's a knock on Rafa that he's never won Bercy. It's the weirdest of all the MS, with the wildest combination of winners. It says something how long it took Roger to win it. Or that Marat Safin won it 3 times. Or that it was David Ferrer's only MS 1000 win. Also Tomas Berdych's only MS 1000 win. Did I forget to mention Khachanov, who has 4 titles to his name, 3x250 and one Paris Bercy. If you want to draw conclusions about tennis based on Bercy...good luck.I bet both are upset long before the final! Even though shortened season, this time of the year, there are upsets of top players; esp. in Bercy! There's a reason few have won it more than once and have never defended besides Novak! Nadal will probably try his best, but he typically stinks in the FALL!

Remember this is not a typical ATP season? Rafa has not played his usual long season.......most players that come to play the last Masters 1000 of the year usually limp into Bercy., in a normal season. We have already seen players withdraw in this tournament To quote Rafa at his pre tournament press conference,I bet both are upset long before the final!

OMG Humbert has a choking meltdown being ahead 5-1 in the TB
While I'm a fan of Stefanno I was sort of rooting for Humbert after that 2nd set tiebreaker.

There is nothing worse than blowing Match points in the 2nd set, that horrible tightening sensation around your neck, your sneakers turned into cement galoshes, the disconnect of eye to hand movement, the smirking look from your opponent if they win while you exchange handshakes, the incredulous and judging stares from your teammates. The restless night thinking about that muffed volley..
Not that I've ever experienced that...
and most weeks in the top 10 in a Row ever as well.
