I have to say that I love reading everything in this website and visit it at least twice a day. You guys are great writers/bloggers/commenters and you make me grin, smile and laugh. It's great knowing there are Rafafanatics all over the world. And I will check out my bookshop tomorrow for the Vogue. I am the biggest Rafa fan in Thailand!

It is important that everyone who follows Rafa can read it because it explains why that Rafael Nadal is how he is. It's almost a philosophy study of the life. It is too extensive to translate it here, but it is important that people can read it. I can translate it with a bit more time if you want. http://www.elmundo.es/elmundodeporte/blogs/sinred/index.html It is amazing what this man has done with as a normal boy of an little city like is Rafael. It is very important to read this article for understand something of Rafa's character and for all of us that we are fans of him.

Not all men and less on that age, recognize that they are afraid. Is not it strange that this guy that controls the pressure very well when he is seen by millions of people around the world and in those moments that are decisive for the match and after he has fear home?

I'm the exact opposite. It's being around people that makes me nervous! It used to be a joke when I was a kid that sending me to my room alone wasn't a punishment, it was a reward and that for punishment, they should make me go outside and play with neighbors. ;) Yeah, it’s not the living at home thing that I can’t relate to, it’s the fear of being alone.

I have to say I like the 1st photo the others especially with the blazer don't quite capture him the way he is. Love the fact he is so honest in this interview, maybe because he is so rather protected in life that is why he is easily afraid, however on court it appears that for the most part he does well to hold his own or at least has done(don't want to jinx him), but still you often see him glance towards his Uncle Toni, if there, like in the semis @ Madrid he was pointing to his knee with his racket like something was wrong, or when he produced that amazing shot against Karlovic @ Queens last year and he re-acted out the emotion whilst glancing over to his box, just needing that reassurance! For this I think Tennis is such a mentally tough sport, that one on one intensity when there out there, so tense, and only the strongest come through it. For this Rafa has proven himself over and over and a step above the rest! Vamos Rafa! Yes thanx Miri for all your efforts I am addictive to this site!
