RafaLint: April 27th
Quick lint today. I have to get up super early tomorrow so I can drive across town, find a place to park, and walk a good chunk so that I can…walk a good chunk. Yep, one hour before Rafa’s match is scheduled to happen, I’ll be walking a charity 5k run/walk. (Same thing Sunday too!) My chances of making it back home before the match starts are…well…slim. I hope I can catch some of it, though. So, vamos a bit extra for me, please! (Please note, Rafa – do not feel obliged to make the match last longer by dropping games or a set.)

Miri, thank you for the amazing Rafa lint you upload everyday. This is the best Rafael Nadal website I have come across. Hope the charity walk bears fruit :)God bless.
“Please note, Rafa – do not feel obliged to make the match last longer by dropping games or a set.” . Haha..that happened to me one day. Thot i’d miss the match coz I was late from work, but Rafa kindly (not!) let me watch the 3rd set by dropping the 2nd set.
Oh bestill my heart, that serious signing face is also the most beautiful face. That was a lovely picture. And I absolutely adore how you can see so many shades of colour in his hair there. Pretty Rafa, so pretty.
