Rafa played like crap for a second match in a row and deservedly lost this time. Happy for Alex, one of my favorite players.
Now I am wondering if he is going to go to Miami and win some points back. Monte Carlo starts on April 13 which is 34 days from now. If he chooses to play Miami and let's say reaches the Final, he will have less than 2 weeks before Monte Carlo. Interesting decision coming up in the next couple of days.
He may play a few matches, but not go all out, just for the points. I think that's what I'd do.
