Yeah its the indoor light and the white balance off the camera’s if you ask me that makes him look pale! Look at the “i played bad” interview, pretty normal coulour there iyam.

I’m pretty sure it’s the indoor light and the amount Rafa sweats that make him look “pale” and “feverish”.
He does look so slim though. Eat some buns, lad!

Rafa did look really bad I mean he looked feverish and so pale, he’s tennis was appauling, I had to switch over I couldn’t watch him like that, it was painful, when I returned to see that he had won the tie-break in the 2nd set I couldn’t believe and then to win, well I watched the commentary afterwards and they said it all, Rafa does what he does best he wins with his heart! geez Rafa whats going on? he is really scaring me,

I think it’s the lighting, since other players (such as Federer) looked washed out.

I also saw the fluff on some other players. Weird!

Glad today’s done and dusted.

Oh, it’s there, in pic 10. I thought it was shaving gel first! And then snot. Before I realised it was fluff. Only Rafa… ;)

He looks better in motion rather than in pictures, at least for today’s match. From this video showing the highlight of the match, there is no sign of loss of speed or reaction timing. Of course these are his finest moments in the match, saving 5 match points and all:

He is mentally stressed for sure but physically I think he just needs a tan.

Just my opinion but with the weight loss I think Rafa’s loss some speed and reaction timing. He looks really pale and frail in these pictures, I don’t understand.
