he has a natural competitive advantage on clay: heavy topspin that the world has never seen before.
that is why they cant beat him when he decides to compete and fight.
he just needs to practice more and also work on his fitness.
I'm sure they're aware of that. This was a good lesson for him. No legend is going to stay content with losing. It was only a matter of time. What makes it so good though is that he was happy in both cases, now that he's happy AND motivated I think we'll see a new and improved Rafa.
