Rafa 25-21 & 33-5 in Big Finals

[Santis]

Big Finals include G.S, W.T.F, M1000 & Olympics

While facing Nole or Roger Rafa has won 25 lost 21 (12-12 against Nole & 13-9 against Roger)

While not facing the two it is 33-5 (Against Davydenko 2, Murray 1, Wawrinka 1 & Nalbandian 1)

That's how difficult it is going to be today for Taylor Fritz

I mean comparing the test facing Taylor Fritz to the ones facing Davydenko, Murray, Wawrinka and Nalbandian is like apples and oranges. The most recent of those matches was EIGHT years ago.

At his age, recovering from that match yesterday will be no small feat.

 

[Vamos Rafa Nadal]

His age, his foot injury, and Fritz's determination all have to be factored in though. But I do think Rafa will prevail.

Nadal said he does not feel tired, he said in his press conference.
He said the dry climate of Indian Wells is good for him, because he doesn't sweat much, doesn't lose much fluid, and has therefore never experienced physical problems at Indian Wells.

Rafa is just unbeatable when in form to non-Elite opposition especially in sf/finals

And determination isn't a good thing in some cases, because if Fritz tries too hard (too hyped up, too nervous, or trying to hit too hard), he may make more unforced errors than usual.

Nor will Fritz's potential foot injury.

Fritz might have one too.

Don't be too cocky man (not sir, sir is reserved for @Rafa4LifeEver). It could be Rafa himself who eats a baguette (as Seb did to him) or even a bagel.

LMAO. Come on, now. How do Nadal fans not get embarrassed saying these things? He’s been running side to side all tournament and hasn't been hampered at all.

It's true, but we have no idea how much of an issue it is. He said it was his ankle, so if it's bad it seems like we'll find out pretty quickly from the way he's serving.

I'm sad.
