Not the start of the match that I expected, RAFA is very rusty. Let’s go RAFA keep fighting!

You know he will keep fighting.

Can anyone who speaks Spanish/Catalan understand what Rafa just said to his box?

The trainer is coming on court ….

 

[Moxie]

I know he has some blisters earlier in his practice session and some were bleeding? they had to be re -taped

First set Fognini. Rafa way off the boil. Timing off. Find your way, Rafa!

You underestimated F3! He gets up to play Nadal & has taken him out on clay as well IIRC! It's going at least 4 sets; Rafa might need 5 to win!

 

[Fiero425]

See? I knew he would be a problem.

Rafa's head looking more and more like Picard's every day! He needs a hat to cover that!

 

[Hailz]

Set #2 is still huge for Rafa. If he goes down by two sets he is in major trouble and could be on his way out. The one thing is you know Rafa will fight till the last point.

Foe wins in straight sets 7-6, 7-5, 7-6. This was a hard fought match over Kubler by Tiafoe tonight.

Fabio has gone off boil, and Rafa wins the 2nd set!

I saw nothing but the end, but happy for Frances. He's from my old home town area.

He is from Maryland where I am from. From where it says he is born is over an hour away from where I live though. I have heard of where he is from though, but never been there.
