congrats to Rafa and all his fans at Camelot.
he ties the mighty Vilas of Argentina for title #46 on clay.
I am so happy for Rafa. he really needed this title to get back on track.
hopefully he can get the matches he needs on clay this year so he can go into RG with full confidence and the best of health.
Yeah, I was glad that he won too. He needed to get a title under his belt. I agreed with the commentators that he was at about 70%, but Rafa can make up the distance pretty quickly sometimes. He's still a far cry away from Fed, Andy, and Nole, but these things come with time.
His net skills were on point today.
Wow, Fed spanked Novak today. What is the deal with those two? Is it me, or does Nole seem intimidated by Federer? He makes so many errors when he plays Federer and I think it's psychological. Fed hasn't always treated him so kindly in the past and I think that has stayed with Novak. In a strange way, people like that tend to "respect" those who disdain them and disdain those who respect them. That's my take anyway.
