Bit weird just watching him though without being able to see the whole of the court, made me feel a bit stalker ish, and I couldn't appreciate the shots properly. V grateful for the filming though, else we would not have seen this at all. The hats are the ones with the bull logo. Mine came last week from America, and it was left with the neighbours who read the customs note on the front and were like, "You ordered a cap from America that cost more than it's worth in postage????" They just didn't get the Rafa-love. #Sigh# It's great though. The cap. And the Rafa-love of course.

That he hat to fetch a new grip on the racket already on court totally cracks me... I would have loved to sit next to Tio Toni on that mo! :D And Rafa wearing his cap for the doubles ( see how i made a bridge to stay on toppic to share with you that my Rafa hat arrived today, yeah!!!! ) Hah, i think the drinking less and no constant towelling probably has more to do with not not sweating so much as in singles;)

His routine and tics are minimal (1 drink bottle, no constant towelling, no jumping at the coin toss, no rituals before the serve etc) and he seems a bit more relaxed, but he always has his game face on whenever he's competing.

Luved the squinty wink as he asks for another bottle of water. After Rafa missed a passing shot to his left he looked so pissed off, and I was trying to catch some swearing but couldn't read his lips. And that puppy-dog-I-want-to-hit-face is too Rafadorable. I was so pained to see him so eager to hit something that I wish someone could've just thrown a ball on court for Rafa to hit. Luv Pico's retro cool hair. Rafa is always nice to the ballkids.

He cracks me up, Pico is jiggling ready to rumble & Rafa hasn't even finished his coffee break. Something distracting you in the locker room Rafa? I bet tio toni was happy you came on court all prepared. :) I think I’m gonna watch them all again.
