I don't know how match you guys were watching, but it was clear he was gimpy. Every time he was running forward he was obviously gingerly. Rafa wasn't even trying to stay in the match on the third set. He was clearly hurt. I've watched him for years, and I've never seen him move like that.

But Rafa is pure class and got mad when asked about his knee on the post game conference. He made no excuses.

I think raggedy Andy wins it this year, he looked great today.

And BTW a shout out to my girl Moninca Puig with the biggest win of her career. She is just 19 and she has a bright future. Pica power!

How much longer is Rafa going to be able to play if he takes roughly 9 months off and can still barely make it through the clay court season?

I didn't watch the third set, so I'll take your word for it. I thought he seemed fine in the bits and pieces I saw from the first two sets.
