andy beat rafa 6-2, 6-0.
I had a feeling that was going to happen.
rafa has slipped so much and the biggest reason is injuries.
he has also let his fitness slip which is what led to all those injuries.
he has to got get off the damn hard courts for a while after the Australian Open.
he needs to get on clay go find his ground game. he is nothing without his ground game and his physicality.
he is missing those 2 things.
Rafa has not played competitive tennis for over six months. I never expected him to do much against a couple of top tenners and Lopez isn't bad either.
It takes time to hone your competitive instincts and get back in the groove. I just want to see Rafa, the game will follow. This is the worst time of the season, so I'm not expecting much. Everything in time. That's how I see it.
