que pasa princess emma, general masterclass, lady TT and the others.
I am under the same impression folks: there was no need to take such immense risk in that depleted state.
I mean what was the purpose of being abused by a 17 year old in straights. what the hell did that accomplish.
he himself said that his back is not 100%. he also said his wrist is not 100%.
I am his greatest fan on the planet but I have call it like I see it.
he has been making terrible decisions since the u.s. open in 2013. and you can see the result of that.
the result is a dramatic increase of injuries and ailments. and of course a significant drop in rankings and his status as a top player.
he lost to Felli in straights. he lost to Klizan. he got run over by a 17 year old in straights in basel.
you all saw what happened at Wimbledon. he lost because he was whipped from the French open campaigns but he lost early in all the other clay events in 2013. so he should not have been so worn out but he was.
right now Rafa cant beat anybody. he has to fix his health and his fitness.
I am worried to death about him. he has lost some of his drive and hunger precisely at the time when he was in a position to stare down history.
he is simply too wealthy and those endorsements will just keep coming. his 9 RG crowns will net him over $1 billion dollars in the next 20 years. that is how much they are worth.
his position in history is secure also.
now he needs to come with the final push.
