CAMELOT FANTASIES

Rafa noticed that Gael was more focused on every point.

'It was a final against a player that is so quick and covers well the court. He's playing well. In the past he was able to play unbelievable moments, but then committing mistakes. It's not the case now. He's playing solid all the time. If he's able to play solid, he's one of the toughest opponents you can face. So when I finished the second set, I was telling me, Okay, something is not going well because the match is not in my hands. The match is not in his hands, but it's not in my hands either. I need to do something else. I need to hit more with my forehand inside the court. That's what I was telling to myself. If I lose, I lose, but I have to take that position. I did. It's obvious that it worked out so well in the third, increasing a little bit the level of my tennis, the level of my forehand. That changed everything.'

they both combined for conceding 34 break point opportunities.


rafa coughed up his serve 5 times.


so he has a lot of work to do. lets hope he can build on this win. he needs Barcelona title to keep building.

serve, return of serve, and the backhand have to get better going into Paris.

Did you see how Monfils was playing and the gets they were both getting? I haven't seen tennis like that in years. I can't tell you how many calls I got from other fans who watched that match. That match was insane.
