Rafa can stop the slide.
he just has to make up his mind and put an end to all this decline. he has to put his foot down and say enough is enough.
This is exactly what has to happen. Sometimes though, you hit a brick wall and lose your motivation. It happens all the time. Who knows what Rafa is going through. It could be anything. He's had a great career and maybe he isn't interested in legacy building and all that stuff. Sometimes we want more for loved ones than they want for themselves and it takes time.
So what if he doesn't win RG this year? It's not the end of the world. At this point, my only concern is if he's ready to hang up the rackets. He just doesn't seem to want it right now, for whatever reason. That's his choice. Nothing we can do about it. It's sad for me, because he's the only player I enjoy watching. This is a bummer, but it couldn't last forever anyway.
