he would be an idiot if he goes to Rotterdam.
he is just begging for injuries.
and one other thing: he would have lost this final to other top players also.
he would have lost to Andy Murray, Djokovic, and Wawrinka also.
Rafa has forgotten how to win big titles and he is certainly not going to start with the majors.
that is what happens when you fart around for 4 years right in your prime.
and then throw in 30 months worth of injuries.
he got a little more fit and was able to make this run. he was able to hang in there and fight.
but you knew it was going to come to an end. he played a 5 hour semifinal and then had one less day of rest.
well at any rate at least he did not get injured. he will still have to make a few sacrifices and also some very smart decisions if he wants to make a run at RG.
I am not saying he can win it.
