it is not going to work out for roger today.
I got this one wrong. djokovic is going to grab this one.
It was a sloppy match, full of errors and dips, but they are still light years ahead of Rafa. I'm glad Raonic won that match because Rafa would've gotten slaughtered by either one of them.
But Rafa is improving incrementally so I expect him to get better, but I'll say it'll be two or three more tournaments before he fully gets his confidence back and feel better about his game.
I hear ya. I was not really worried about the win as much as I am worried about his current level of fitness.
suboptimal fitness can lead to injury given his demanding style of play. we have had way too many injuries. next big injury will end his career.
I would just feel so much better once he is on the red clay.
Ever since he got the knees fixed he hasn't had an style inducing injuries. His back went out in Australia, that can happen to anyone. He got a fluke wrist injury and had to have his appendix taken out. I don't think he's had a serious injury for awhile.
