Hi Miri,
The captions are yours? Because they look sooooo NON_MIRI type …
Or, have you opted to be different today ? :)
It was almost 2am and I had to be up by 6 to get into work early so I can leave early to catch my flight. So, I didn’t change the titles from the ones that are embedded in the photos.
That’s alright miri. Have a safe flight and Rafa-filled weekend. Give our besos to Rafa.
Too bad as some of these photos are so suitable for your captions.
yeahhh… miss them …
Agree, so not humorous and completely devoid of wit! So not Miri.
Hope it’s gonna be Twirly vs. Tweener for the Finals!! *sprinkles anti-jinxing powder*
for sure not Miri……….. telling us in every pic USopen in NewYork……. and plz miri create a poll for Roger Rafa final’s result predictions……….
Dude… you’re going to jinx it! One game at a time! :)
Oooh. All jumpin on Miri. She ain’t gonna like that! :) Great shots. In the second to the last shot, it looks like he’s talkin to his belly: “Yeah, we goin to the semi’s. Woot, woot!” Thanks for posting these!
One. Match. At. A. Time!
Yep, Rafa looks thrilled to be in the semis and thrilled to get past Nando and The Windy in straights.
Ease up on Miri, folks. Match ended after 11 pm eastern time, it’s not yet 7 am and she’s got the pics up already! Good job!!
I was THERE! WHOOOOO! I was so lucky to have seen Nadal v. Verdasco! So happy to see Rafa play again in the flesh as opposed to on TV! LOVED IT! The crowd wanted a longer match of course but I was happy that Rafa was doing so well and he was through! Sorry Nando — you are a cutie but Rafa is the best!
Rafa’s smile of victory is awesome. Gives me good feelings in my tummy. I haven’t watched the match yet, but it looks like Rafa was well pleased with it being over! Yay!
He does look a tad happy!!
Like someone who thought they had five hours of hard labour ahead of them finding they’ve finished it in half the time.
And it’s such serious business until it’s all done – then bliss!!
Congrats Rafa!! Onwards and upwards!
