serena should be the ultimate motivation for Rafa.
he is just not looking to follow the lead.
I don't watch him play anymore because I know what he is capable of. he is showing up horribly unprepared time and again.
I cant bear to watch him like this.
we have his matches and we will get more. we will just have to re-live his glory years over and over again for life.
his 9 RG crowns will just have to keep us going.
he was pure magic on the court at this best. his movement was second to none and he produced the impossible time and again on the court.
he held the world on the edge of their seats when he competed and battled to win.
there is only about 3% chance that he can win another slam at the current rate.
only about 3% chance that he can bring his fitness and physicality to a level where he can go out there and fight them to the death again.
I really don't see that happening. he has lost nearly 80% of his ground game and 50% of his once supreme fitness and physicality.
right now he has no serve, no return, and terrible movement. I don't know how he can overcome all that.
it will take 8 months of immense hard work and 100% focus. there can be exactly zero distractions.
he would have to let the outside world go for about 8 months and just work on his game and his fitness.
