rafa needs to let his backhand get into the groove.
even the writers mention it here in this article. his backhand is plenty good. he just has to trust it and not run around it all the time.
I believe it is one of the best backhands in the world. he just has to give it a chance again. in the old days he basically never missed off his backhand wing because he trusted it and was not afraid to hit it.

That's very true. He also needs to work on closing out sets and that dreadful break point conversion. Ugh!
He acts like he doesn't want to play until his back is against the wall. A strange strategy coming from him.
