The sheer cuteness blinds me. ;)A bit sad though that Marc won’t be playing with Rafa in Miami. :(
Me too. But I guess a country’s Olympic tennis team is limited to 6 men and currently Spain has 6 guys in the top 25 in singles! Rafa, Ferru, Nico, Feli, Fer, and Granollers. Plus Juan Carlos Ferrero, Tommy Robredo, Pablo Andujar… it’s an embarassment of riches.
Sponsor also sneaks in Marc’s photo.. Heh :)
The photo you put on this rafalint is wonderful Miri. Love your photos. You caught his light! Great talent!
I agree w/ Emmanuelle, Rafa looks amazing so natural & happy…
Your photos are wonderful:)
Good luck to Rafa @ Miami!!
I love this photo, unposed and so natural. Laughing in the sunlight and thanks so much for the connection with @Altrotiroaltor for the SE open. Am loving Twitter and connecting with other crazy Rafa fans like us. Tennis people..I love them.
It is my new screensaver! thank you!!!
Hey Miri, sorry we didn’t connect in IW – not enough time and so much tennis to see! I, too, wanted to comment on that fabulous pic of Rafa you took! One of the best I’ve ever seen. So folks, when you see the report from ExtremeWesternGrip about the dubs match on stadium 2 between team cuteness and Paes and Steps, I was sitting next to Arienna in the first row. Best day of tennis watching ever!!!
Love all the Rafa and Marc pictures, adorkable! In the one with the quely bags, a new question arises: Is Rafa an alien? (look at the eyes) This could explain a lot of things!
is that reflection off the contact lenses?
btw does rafa have perfect eyesight or does he wear contacts? has anyone ever asked him this in the q&a ?
More food for Rafa then. That factory he visited when he agreed his contract will be working over time. Pleased to see he is boosting the economy.
