Lopez took out Rafa in Cincinnati. I don't think the result is so concerning as much as the lack of match play will hurt. Rafa should be OK in New York, though, if he is fit enough to grind guys down in some long 3 out of 5 set matches.

I'm not dealing well with this Rafa situation. I wish he would retire. I'm just not ready to live in a world where Rafa loses to Feliciano Lopez and I'm not even surprised. And Rafa isn't gonna have some turnaround like we've seen in the past (e.g. coming back in 2013 after injury). He's done.

I think you're underestimating the extent to which his athleticism just isn't what it used to be.
