Interesting. Rome is the only option, if they want to play together on clay, right?

Yes, I dont think RG is a wise choice do you?

Exactly. No serious contender should play doubles at a Major, least of all an old warrior like Rafa. But I don't think Carlos should, either.

A great win today by Rafa against De Minaur (7-6, 6-3)… This was a huge match because Rafa couldn’t afford to lose to the same player two weeks in a row on clay… Also, I thought his level was very good with some amazing points! Keep it going Rafa!

Great point. I agree..

Since we're in Madrid, I thought I'd put up a classic Nadal v. Djokovic match from 2009. At the time, I believe it became the longest 3-setter ever played. (Surpassed, I think, by Federer d. Del Potro at the Olympics in London 2012.) Enjoy!

No, Sis @Moxie Moxie this was the greatest 3 setter match ever because the defense was astounding really Astonishing is the correct way to view it. The rallies was insane, I recall both players covering so much area that the television camera couldn't keep up..just my opinion
