Oh well. Rafa lost as I expected, but he put up a good fight. With the way Novak was playing this week I didn't expect Rafa to get through him. But, he had a lot of fight, which was good. Still, Rafa had problems putting Isner and Ferrer away when both should have been straight set matches.
However, going forward, and with a few more matches under his belt I think he'll be fine.
