Learn to play tennis with Toni & Rafa
Remember those Rafa-porn exercise videos? Well, they were part of an 8 DVD set released in Spain. Well, Nereis has posted all 8 DVDs for your enjoyment. Take a look at her tumblr page for the download links. (Note the correction for one of the video links here.)

That’s awesome!! Vamos~~
Watching Rafa would be fun and educational enough for me, and learning to play tennis would be an extra bonus. Just seeing his facial expression photos during the haircut makes me smile. Also hope Rafa’s being himself, and no acting is required
ooh, loquacious Rafa!
Thanks a million Miri! I was just reading the injury update tread and was wondering if they’re the same vids I’ve seen on YouTube. Gotta go now and “learn” some tennis!
This might be off-topic:
Here’s a recent you-tube video of just the “forehands” of Nadal. A great compilation with several breathtaking signature forehands. Very nice compilation -

Thanks Jimmy :) . Just awesome.
That video has made my night. Giggly. I miss that. Tennis is boring without him. Get better Rafa.
Thank God there’s a recent one in that compilation or I’d be totally depressed ;-)
Great vid. Thanks Jimmy.
Those Rafa/Fed, Rafa/Nole and Rafa/Nando matches at Wimby, Madrid and AO were classic. Missed that intense quality of 2 players playing at the same high level.
Was Rafa in the green sleeveless and Fed in the red polo from Rafa’s first FO win, and Fed lost to Rafa in the semis?
Yup. F.O 2005 SF ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiL7Hp-Uryw ) . Awesome match by young Rafa.
Awesomeness! I doubt this will do much to help my patented send-balls-soaring-straight-out-of-tennis-court technique, but at least it’ll be an entertaining failure. :) Nereis, if you hang around here – THANK YOU.
I really, really miss Rafa. Heal, knees, heal!
He he… I think you’ll find that we share the patent on the loopy over the fence shots! I specialise in sending them over the fence and into the hotel swimming pool ;-) Clearly I need to study these videos in depth!
Hey aRafaelite and tms,
You might find a hottie in the pool! Sometimes I hit those shots on purpose if I see a sexy man in the pool! Oops, sorry, sir. Did I hit you? Oh, gee…now my shirt fell off…;)
Something tells me I shan’t pay any attention to the tennis techniques. Just looking at the photo collage has me in a tizzy… Hip roll, is all I can say. Hip. Roll. Mmmmmmmmm…
Thanx for the f/h video Jimmy it was awsome, I love the quote from Patrick Macenroe.
I remember Nadal saying that in A/O when he closed out that 2nd set with that round the net forehand winner, it was indeed special, but although not a running forehand, I absolutely loved that one he hit to save a match point, down the line one in Madrid v. Djokovic, and the roar he let out afterwards was just unbelievable, the intensity he brought to that match brought Djokovic to his knees!
How I miss that intensity and his remarkable fighting qualities that he has brought to tennis! Vaaamosss Rafa always!!!
I’ve just watched the first and last part of that set of tennis with Rafa and Toni commenting (I can’t watch the middle part for some reason). I thought that if I really concentrate and listen, I might understand what they say and learn something. All I learnt, however, is that Rafa really cannot sit still in that chair. He’s so entertaining.
Be glad you could at least watch some off it….
On my pc the vids keep buffering evry 5 seconds making it impossible to watch it ):
Now i feel robbed of this too…
Did you try the d/l link? I did that and can see them fine.
I just tryed and watch them from the site… Thanks Miri, gonna try it that way!
miri I’ve been trying to figure out what your your new picture is … it appears to be some kind of whirling vortex (connected to Rafa’s spinning out-of-control ranking and health issues??), but it is small so I may be way off base.
It’s the light fixture in the main room of Casa Batllo

thank you miri !!! Devastatingly stunning work.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me how to view these videos, when i download them from megaupload they save as an avi so i can only hear them. I only have windows mediaplayer. Your help will be greatly appreciated, i’m missing rafa and would love to see some footage of him.
Thanks
HayleyO
It works for me via Windows Mediaplayer. You might need to install the divx codex – just be careful during the install and decline any extra software it wants to install: divx.
Thank you so much both you and jimmy for your advice. Yea i have 8 hours of rafa now :-)
8 hours of rafa! I’m completely jealous cos’ the download is not available in my region. If anyone knows they’re available elsewhere, please let me know!
You need to have the required codecs to play the avi file. You can either:
- Play the file using the VLC media player , which comes built in with the codecs. Download VLC here: http://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html
- install a codec pack ( for instance CCCP at http://www.cccp-project.net/ ) and then play the file using Windows media player.
Hi Jimmy still couldn’t get into this but heah what you think with the latest. Dovick losing (which helps Rafa) again Yulozink and he now against the Sod in the finall in Rotterdam.
I am sure you have a view no?
If he did, it would be as off-topic as your question.
