i think he will take RG.
if anything this loss may increase his resolve 100,000 fold now.
now he will fight tooth and nail for his crown. the one that matters the most. nadal did not become an all time great by accident or luck. he was born to be a warrior.
he has his warrior heart and his warrior spirit forever.
I am just me. it takes me a million years to get over his losses.
I don't really care so much about the Australian open now because we know he injured his back. it was the injury that kept him from fighting and battling there for that trophy.
I am more heart broken to see monte carlo, Barcelona, and now the rome title falling in other hands.
I did not even feel like having lunch today. I really was sick to my stomach for a few hours after I saw the score of the 3rd set.
rafa has to wake up and realize who is and how he stands alone to be able to challenge history. also he is still in his prime so he cant let others catch up with him.
they are all coming at him. he has to start cutting them off now.
there are no more options left and only 1 last card left to play: he has to shut them all down at RG.
I firmly believe that he will do it.
