rafa is playing horrible tennis.
he has almost no rhythm. movement is erratic at best.
he simply wont practice long and hard. how can you be sharp if you don't work like a dog in practice.
He was doing fine until that stupid time violation on break point. This is just ridiculous. He is the only player that they are giving all these violations over this stupid @$$ shizz that has NEVER been enforced in the history of the game. When Rafa was out I doubt in the six months there were even five violations meted out to the other thousand players on the tour.
Who takes more time than Maria Sharapova? Nobody, and they don't say a darn word. Plenty of players do, but they only watching him? Get a shot clock. There's no reason for them not to except that they want to except when they pulled that and started putting EVERYONE'S time on the screen, they abandoned it. I wonder why.
If you look at an old match you'll see that nobody adhered to that rule. This is just some BS to mess someone psychologically. And like Jim Courier, it's always on a break point or a second serve. I can't wait until Rafa retires because I can't stand this kind of BS.
This needs to stop. Have the rule and apply it to EVERYONE or NO ONE, but this selective crap needs to go.
