I loved the heading… I forgot to say that… “Rafa has 23″… He keeps saying that “I have only 22 years old… well 23 in a few days” :P

Hey everyone.. We have news for Rafael, he’s recovered from but now is a new step for him. There is a before and after what happened at RG. Now Rafael will be stronger .. and will focus more on the matches, only on the matches. But you know that he likes to play in against .. that is, when the more problems are bigger .. (uf, not if I explain) he plays better. When Rafa comes to Queens surely he’s very well with the people of Queens because they will all know what happened and the welcome will be fantastic.. and he will remain the same great tennis player ever, but things will never be the same..

That’s too funny about your restraining order & changing that song to roll your Rrrs like Charo & shake those hips like her saying “coochi, coochi!” That was so sweet of RAFA to do for his b-day. Actually, Charo has her own website now & lives in beautiful Hawaii & apparently still sings & plays guitar. That’s another place I would love to live in the good ol’ US besides Mallorca of course. Ole!!!!

Heee! I must have been really excited about that Wimbledon win. I just noticed I had it on the list twice.
