Rafa is playing like he hasn't played properly for over a year. He's hit a physical wall against a far younger, fitter player. The key now is to stay healthy and try to build his fitness back up.
@Zwxsh Agreed, Rafa needs to focus on staying injury-free and slowly regaining his form. Patience is key. 💪
@Zwxsh His opponent had to rely on way too many drop shots. He knew he couldn’t just go toe to toe with Rafa. Even being away as Rafa has been his opponent over used cheep shots.
@Zwxsh The fact that he managed to make a Top 10 player earn that win despite NOT even playing at his best level just shows it’s never easy to beat him!
@Zwxsh Could be argued that was what happened to Murray as well.
@Zwxsh Suddenly age matters !!!!! Well play for Rafa, hope he plays Rg, at least oye more time
@Zwxsh Very tough, he's got not that much time and tournaments before RG. Looks bleak so far. Hope never dies though.
@Zwxsh Sorry mate but he is done .. I know you don’t want hear that but that is the bare naked reality
