When was the last time you saw Rafa doing this after winning the second round of the tournament?
When was the last time he was so emotional after winning the second round?
It was Nick. It was always been him. Nobody can do this to Rafa but in a way, doesn’t he help Rafa to bring his best to the court? Something we all want to see, something we all love.
Does this qualify as revenge?
Does this win mean Nick would do the next time he wins the match? Maybe, yes. Maybe, no but it was nothing short of entertainment and certainly was a close match.
All you can say is that Rafa is all pumped and nobody would love to meet this Rafa. He is fierce, he is dangerous and he can hurt you more than you expect.
Rafa Marches on.
