This is pretty shite tennis, to be honest, and that’s coming from a huge Rafa fan.


Nadal and Djoker are aging, but that level still hasn't dipped below the rising talent of the youngins

Rafa has Ruud living 10-15 feet behind that baseline on his service games.

Nah Rafa is controlling these points on his serve. Ruud is way back there.

FAA made him pay for that and had Rafa on the run every FAA service point. Ruud's serve is too mediocre.

Yes he is. Just told my wife, who also played tennis before her herniated disc, can’t remember the last time I saw a straight set major finals win.

Djokovic destroyed Medvedev at the 2021 Australian Open final. Think that was straight sets. And I think Medvedev returned the favor at last year's US Open. I would imagine a lot of Rafa's finals at Roland Garros have been straight sets.

Has any athlete been as dominant as long at any event as Rafa at RG?
