Papa Rafa did play better in the 1st set, though he did break early in the 2nd set, and gave the break back to love....?

Papa rights the ship and takes the opener 6-3

Papa should have stayed home and changed more diapers this week..he is playing like his diaper is soiled

Well you're missing Goodall and Jimbo tout Paul to upset your boy today, nappies and all

...and this is with Rafa getting to the tournament early to practice! I wonder what it would have been like if he arrived just a day before?

 

[kskate2]

He's never been extremely good on indoor HC. I don't expect that to change in 2022 no matter how many extra days of practice he got.

 

[Kieran]

It’s looking like Rafa’s third defeat to an American this year, what have you’s boys got against the goat? You think he’s too happy, and needs to suffer?

 

[kskate2]

If he was smart, he would have teamed up w/ someone to play doubs this week so he will have some extra matches before he has another week off

 

[kskate2]

I don't understand, how can Rafa be The GOAT if absolutely helpless & winless in the Fall in events run after the USO? No Paris Masters or YEC!

I'm not going to debate GOAT status in this thread. So don't start it here.

 

[Fiero425]

Here we go! Nadal's PR Agent is at work making excuses for him! Courier went right to the "injury card!" OMG, WTF? "Not to take anything from Tommy's play," he says! He just did! Absolute SCUM move! If Rafa starts b!tching in the news conference, I'm going to fillet him for the rest of his miserable life!

 

[Nadalfan2013]

Rusty performance (despite some incredible points) but T Paul played amazing. I wonder if Nadal will play the ATP finals now he seems kind of disinterested/down at the end. Maybe he will take a break until next year. To be continued.

Jim Courier can say what he wants about anyone but Nadal hasn’t said anything yet so stop creating drama as usual.

My peeps in Tampa Bay said that Jimbo is the nicest guy in the world whenever they attend the local tournament there..he gives them comp seats and etc.

I will be very surprised if Rafa plays Turin, just finished watching the final set, has I had to go out, to me his abs are still not 100%, he wasnt pushing off on his serve, not taking anything away from Tommy, who deserved his win, I knew when I saw the draw this would be a difficult match

Rafa should call it a season and enjoy fatherhood and come back healthy next year.

... and I'm sure Jimbo doesn't kick his dog, takes care of his mommy, & is great with kids! Hmmm; signs of a ""serial killer"" maybe?

I have every faith in Rafa, but this isn't the time of year when his game shines. I wasn't able to watch the 3rd set, but...Tommy Paul? He's not going to finally pull out the WTF. I am thinking that resting up for the AO is a better call. Just waiting for @Fiero425 to tell us this was Rafa avoiding Novak.
