New thread!

Yay kazza

Vamos Rafa 💪

Getting tense now, I really want him to get this set.

Please hold serve Rafa!

Me too Raahh - wish I could just enjoy watching Rafa but it’s too stressful

come on Rafa!

It is stressful!

Damn.

I knew I would jinx him.

Oh God what’s Beelzebub doing there!

(Don't fancy his chances in a tie break).

Bollocks!

Not sure that was necessary, seeing Djok

Is he?? Bugger off.

Yes seeing smug Djok in the crowd hasn’t improved my mood!

Rafa’s volleys are giving me life.

Ugh. Tie break.

The line persons uniforms are a bit weird- like school uniforms (I’m trying to distract myself from the tiebreak)

VAMOS Rafa!

Come on Rafa!

Iga being a fangirl

Carlos Moya looks like he's aged 10 years since the start of the match. And he looked teary at the start.

He does look as if he’s going through it Raahh

Fizzy he really does. I wonder if deep down he just wishes Rafa had said Adios in Madrid and disappeared in his yacht?

Carlos looks stressed.

The other Carlos

I haven’t seen the other Carlos yet - now I’m confused

If he's going to win now, he has to do something he's only done 3 times at RG before, and that's play 5 sets.
