Rafa went back in the locker room to slick his hair back, hide the bald spot

Just shave it off Rafa, Agassi did that so hopefully you wouldn't have to go through that

 

[No1]

Far from over

I have no idea how he won

 

[malbaker86]

More relieved than joyous...

I know we've said this a lot in the past with the Next Gen when they lose a close match in a Grand Slam, but Med should win a few slams in the future

You already know all of this but ..

Skew to the less prestigious and more limited skill-set requiring FO.

With a normal FO record he would be around Jimbo level.

High loss rate at Wimbledon and AO

Tennis Open order of prestige is

W
UO
FO
AO

You can't be the GOAT based on dominating the 3rd best Open.

And he has been juicing, based on his hairline .

Nobody puts us open over RG but keep on

I stopped caring when Nadal was 2 sets up and switched off. Can't believe it went to 5 in the end

Think about Nadal and Novak this decade....

Pete Sampras had 14 career Grand Slams and Novak won FIFTEEN this decade and Rafa won THIRTEEN grand slam titles...in a DECADE.

The Big 3 all have a chance starting next year to win slams in 3 different decades...on multiple surfaces.

Imagine if I told you that if not for Roger and Novak that Nadal would have been in the final and probably won every major this year at 33.

Edit: wait, who won the AO this year?

now with all the grand slams finished for the year, you know the WTA is trash when only ONE player has qualified AT THE MOMENT (obviously) for the WTA finals tourney and that's Barty and she barely did that. The cut off is 5405 points and she's qualified with 5476 points.

Ehh, Pete won 12 of his 14 in the 90s. It's not like he was far off.
