How did he lose it? And wasn’t it wonderful that it was replaced.
I believe he left it in the backseat of a car, lol!
Sorry Courtney, didn’t refresh the page when I hit reply!
I read somewhere that he left it(not on purpose, of course) in a taxi. Don’t know if that’s true, but that photo surely made me laugh!
*hates Rafa hair but is outweighed by flove for brave Rafa smile*
Thanks Courtney & Eliana. WTF must have been on his mind to forget his trophy? Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm the possibility of meeting me might be acceptable. :) :)
I wonder where it got to, as he never got it back?
Yay!!! I’m all for fruit trophies for all the tourneys!!!
OMG!! I never knew that he lost this trophy!!And how!!!
I’m so glad they replaced it!!! I’ve always had a soft corner for this one. It’s sooo darn cute!
