Dimitrov destroyed wawrinka.
Rafa will get the winner of Ferru vs Simon match.
Either way it is the match he needs to keep improving.
Both will make him hit a lot of balls.
Lackadaisical display from Stan. he seemed to be anywhere but on the court.
Federer and Monfils though, were playing ball. Berdych had a little tussle with Bautista-Agut, and Simon has never got back to where he was.
Now Rafa and Ferrer. I hope he can avenge last year's loss.
I hear ya.
we can avenge the loss and make some progress with the ground game at the same time.
we may not win here as djokovic is just too strong right now but we can take Barcelona and rome.
rafa just needs a few more matches on clay to find his ground game again.
today was not a bad day. he had 32 winners and just 12 unforced errors.
he needs those numbers again but it will be more difficult. ferru is more fit and physical than ever before and he has won 4 tournaments already.
if we can take Barcelona and rome then that sets us up nicely for RG.
