Not in good form but still a total boss. Once he gets his rhythm back everyone will start to fear him again, because right now everyone and their grandma is coming out playing Rafa with lots of confidence because they know he isn’t in his best form

[@rileyreese3991]

With Rafa, anything is possible! The mental giant like he is, he can go all the way!

[@afghanrocky]

He has had the highest head2head balance out of the big 3 in prime time. He never had a rest from Novak or Federa. The most injured. Also has the cleanest win %.

[@jessyjohaug7392]

Still the 2nd favorite behind Djokovic. I don't trust any of these Next Gen guys to take him out in BO5. He lost to Norrie and Minaur in Sydney but he will smoke these guys in straight sets if he plays them in the 2nd week of the Australian Open.

@@mavric4048 it is diferent because he's been getting ready for a coupple of weeks so he Will maybe be in good form physically then winning 3 or 4 matches he Will get his tennis back The same happened in Wimbledon and he reached semifinals

[@adhireddy7771]

If he manages to win the AO 2023 It would be remarkable than the AO 2022 As novak is back hunting on the Australian soil and considering what has happend last 2 weeks or so, it would be one of his best grandslam wins of his carrer Hope he wins it all Really looking forward to it #vamos # AO3 and GS23

LETS GO RAFA for a 3rd AO Win🏆. Never doubt on his capabilities, if he goes to 2nd week he will be strong, only Djokovic is more favorite than him here.

[@RicKy-uf1ps]

What is the racket that Nadal used, it’s different than the classic raquet

[@funtv5348]

The only way he can beat anyone in the draw is by serving really good and getting some power behind those shots. Clay style play won't work here, especially novak.

why did he change his forehand again 🤦🏽‍♂ hope he's used to the technique by the time the tournament starts

[@sergioflo3314]

No suele utilizarlo, él suele usar bastante el estilo top spin

[@RamZar50]

Rafa is not playing well consistently and his timing is off. He hasn’t played well since Wimbledon winning only 4 of 11 ATP matches the past 6 months. If he could win a few matches at AO he may advance far. However, he’s playing Draper in the 1st round and Draper is in top form on his way to possibly winning the Adelaide ATP tournament this week.

[@sumukhfreefire6390]

He will not be able to clear the first four Rounds

[@Mart7155]

Donde está la lesión? No había un pies partido? Como puede afirmarse y pegar sin tener problemas? Puro circo lógico.

[@sergioflo3314]

Se hizo una intervención en el pie, se la tiene que hacer antes de cada torneo y así evita casi todo el dolor, lo lleva haciendo desde wimbledon pero el abdominal y el tiempo que tuvo de baja por el pie le pasaron factura en su práctica deportiva y su rendimiento en la pista, ahora sin dolor del que preocuparse, intenta volver a tener ese rendimiento de hace un año y su equipo de entrenadores dice que es capaz de conseguirlo y más
