Wowza. As soon as I can get off a “WTF dudes?” post, Rafa comes along and rocks my shit. Jo had one impressive win over JCF, and despite bringing the tool box and then some for Rafa… it wasn’t really going to matter. In fact, it wasn’t really a blow out like the scoreboard says (at 6-3, 6-2) but at the same time, there wasn’t much doubt that Rafa was taking this home.

Jason and Robbie were hyping this as his greatest performance of 2010… and from what I’ve seen, it’s hard to disagree. He never once took his foot off the pedal, and he played the important points like the Rafa of old. In other words, scary stuff. Especially considering Jo has a big forehand, and these are hard courts. What the hell kind of magic this guy could pull out of his ass over the clay season, I have no idea. Beware, peasants. The King of Clay may be eying his return to the throne.
