TENNIS: AO Men's Final and beyond

[JaneJeffer]

Thanks for the update Jane - I really want to watch the final but a 10pm start is a bit late - should have stocked up on Easter eggs

I’m really not sure how this one will go - Rafa has had to fight to win all of his matches this tournament so yes Raahh I hope he’s not pushing himself too much - we need him to be fit for the clay season!

Eek just watched the trainer sorting Rafa’s shoulder problem out last night - looked pretty intense!

Rafa on the backseat of the buggy again

Hmm not quite going as planned for Rafa

Think this final might be a step too far for Rafa - he’s asked for the trainer

Sad to see Rafa obviously suffering

Yes it’s not good WellTidy - don’t like seeing him like this - wasn’t sure if he would come back after his medical time out

I know that he is missing Miami, but he always plays all the European clay court tournaments before the French Open, so I hope this injury isn’t going to thwart that

I missed most of the first set. I gather Rafa is still having shoulder problems then?

Well well well!

Marinating in his misery doesn't sound like Rafa to me Petch

Left pec Jane

Ouch! Well

No marinating in his misery doesn’t sound like Rafa at all Jane - Morrissey maybe Petch doesn’t know whether he’s on about!

This is a strange match

Rafa not able to consistently rely on his body to do what it usually does

It’s all over the place - was up at 2 am watching the end of the semi so could do with some sleep ...

Morrissey

I'd love him to get the strength to win this and then he can have a nice holiday on his yacht that didn't buy itself before the clay season.

Yes Rafa looks as if he’d rather be on his yacht right now

Wish I could have stayed up for the good match last night

Vamos!

Wonder what Rafa was asking for? Hope it’s the magic figs - although not sure how much longer I can stay up for

He enjoyed that one

I’m finding this very tense

Ow ow ow

The physio looks quite brutal!

Taylor did a weird lizard eyes thing there
