Personally, I don't see Rafa getting to the Wimbledon final; but, Rafa remains a guy who runs 'on fight and form' meaning playing a lot ties into his competences and ability to generate great play/results. So, without injury as a stopper, he has been able (when very young) to run his FO results right into a run at Wimbledon and do that successfully. Yes, it was a long time ago and he's 31; that's my core query. Can the mental, physical and emotional issues be dealt with to make that happen BECAUSE he isn't showing any 'limiting' PHYSICAL issues at the moment.
Mentally, he going to have to come down off an enormous high of attaining 'la decima' as it has been termed. That's not insignificant, obviously. And the reality of quick court tennis puts back in play NickyK, Zverev, Milos, along with Feds, Murray and Nole, even a mentally fractured Nole.
So more danger points for Rafa heading in than in Paris. We know that. I'm wondering how much sheer drive and confidence has he balled up; how much momentum can he really carry on the grass? Or does he hit a wall?
I say he hits a wall, but, I was wondering what others think.
