“It just shows how (referee Carlos Bernardes) is probably scared of him and just let him talk too long. You need to play and not be waiting and talking for three minutes. He was almost sitting there, like he’s not going to play.

It’s not the mistake of Rafa. It’s the mistake of the referee. He needs to show him that it’s not like he can do whatever he wants on the court.”
