CAMELOT FANTASIES

I agree General.

IF Rafa gets tired in the 3rd against Djokovic, it might not be as easy to come back into it against him.

That's why Rafa has to use these next few matches wisely. 

If he feels he has the match in control, it wouldn't hurt him to stay out there a bit longer.

Then in the match before the QF, he should take it as easily as he can.

So even if Rafa looks and is stronger, his fitness in terms of endurance will have to be there against the likes of Djokovic, if they both make it to the QF.

Respectfully,
masterclass

that is a great post general



I just have a feeling that Rafa knows his limitations now. it is not rocket science for him and his team.


he has been living it up and there has been very limited activity as it relates to his game and his fitness.


all those fellow pros also know. many are wondering why Rafa has been so inactive. he has missed more than 1/2 of the year of tennis and he is perfectly healthy.


this is why he would lay down his sword before he even entered Paris. he declared more than just once that he was not the favorite against anybody.


he will do what he can but even if nole was not in his quarter it would be very difficult for him to win the tournament.


he won in the past even when he was limping around. he had the youth, hunger, and fitness on his side.

I personally think he will not face nole.


but we will see.
