it was a must win day today for rafa today. he passed the test with flying colors.
I am so happy for him. he is trying to hit his stride on the red clay.
nothing has changed as far as RG is concerned. he will most definitely hit his stride by the time he enters the final at RG.
its just that I wanted so badly for him to take his mote carlo masters back.
You just never know with Rafa. Although he's ultra competitive, he also seems content with his place in the game. He's always said that if he quit today he'd be satisfied. I believe him.
I think his fans sometimes want it more than him. Rafa hasn't fist pumped all year, that I can remember. I think it's nothing more than mental and emotional burn out. He'll be fine.
