rafa is short on practice and match play on the red clay this year. he has also managed to drop some of his fitness this year.
still he will find a way to take the final. they still cant beat him in a best of 5 sets battle on the red clay.
and certainly nobody has any answers for him at a RG final.
so I will bet on Rafa.
I am not happy with him but that does not mean I am going to walk away from my player.
I know what he is capable of achieving once he puts his mind to it.
I want to see him start sounding a little more confident. positive talk is good.
He is talking more confidently and ready for the challenge, or so he says.
