It is an afternoon match thank goodness. it will be warmer which is good for rafa.
I think young is improved. he will force rafa to hit more balls. sijsling is not that consistent off the ground and he too had not played and practiced much.
this is the match we need. we need to hit more balls.
I think rafa will take it but it might be close.
This is exactly how I see it too. I expect Rafa to get through though, because he will not allow Donald to get away with those momentary lapses. I think Rafa will be up for this match. I'm glad it will be warmer too, that should help. In a little time he is making big gains and is looking more comfortable on the court. This match will give us a better feel for where Rafa is, but one thing is he looks happy and relaxed and that's always a good sign.
It's so good to have him back. Rafa electrifies tennis.
