As has been the norm for this tournament, I found myself missing the first set, so I've not much to judge on with today's match. I feel totally unaffected by the result because I think it's probably a fair reflection of where both players are in the game right now.
I pity that Rafa went from 40-0 up to be broken in the second set, but what I truly did like was the determination in his eyes and the fire in his belly. While that warrior still lies beneath, you know he's going to try to do everything to make us proud and get better.
There's nowhere for the PoD to go at the moment ... there's plenty of ways to go for Rafa. I expect his presser to be full of positivity and his usual grounded sense. I think there was so much to be hopeful for in the future based on this tournament and let's cheer Rafa on as he finds his clay feet and keeps his eyes on the main prize.
A great show, Rafa. A much better improvement and you've a lot to be proud of. VAMOS!!!
