Rafael Nadal vs Ilya Ivashka • Barcelone 2021

Man I saw 2019 complete season. He did not struggle at first round against a 111th ranked player. He went wo semis on MC, Barcelona, Madrid and won Rome and FO. Here he lost in QF at MC and almost lost first round to a 111th player. There is no comparing Kusha.

Diego - Your thought process really confuses me. Not sure how you even hold a job. Makes zero sense the things that come out of your mouth.

Commentator just said Fognini got booted out for abusing the line referee.

Yeah he did. The absolute clown

Congrats & well played 👑Rafa 👏👏👍, I think that you had a lot of people anxious in Barcelona & on TT as well today.🤔

👑 Rafa 🇪🇸, on home ground, will take the win in a very quick match today. 👍

In his own court nevertheless

How are points calculated with the new pandemic system? There has been like 2 new systems...i am so confused as to how to calculate ranking points nowadays.
Medvedev for example was finalist in Barcelona 2019, he should defend some points? None? Rafa was semi finalist. Same question for him.

You win u git the point

No one answered my question lol
Khan, of course I also think there is nothing stoping rafa from recovering #2, and i also want him to recover #1.

Wont get #1 definitely reclaim #2 & their might even be a fight for the 3rd rank

Wow Rafa broken in the first game

My faith in rafa has now been completely lost.
He may lose today.

He may not lose this but if he keeps playing like this he'll definitely not win even a single title this year on Clay

Rafa look so sloppy

Anyone can defeat rafa on clay now

If he continues to play like this he won't win Barcelona also...

How is Rafa losing again

Rafa just go home

3-6 vs the 111 player in the world 😂😂😂
Rafita that was some!!

Just under 50% of first serve for Rafa , just not good enough 😕

What is happening Rafa?

Looks like Rafa has forgotten his game. Serve is absent, BH is abysmal and FH is average. Even in 2015 it was only his FH that was bad

This is not a good start for the clay season. I'm starting to worry about FO big time

@karar if the Rafa of first set comes back he ll ve a different story to tell...

Painful to watch easy shots get missed

Lol Nadal hitting 99% shots way below service line. Didn’t think it’s physically possible to hit balls that short

Missing opportunities left and right

Wow whose this nadal is playing against..

This is the only way Nadal can win this match: with the help of opponents unforced errors.
