PlayStation trash tweeting
Rafa, Daveeed and Rudy Fernandez got into some PlayStation trash talking tweeting. Thanks to Genny_SS/SpanishRNFan, we have a translation.
It all started on May 28 when David tweeted:

RG: No contest
In his second round match, Rafa played #43 Denis Istomin. It was another of those early round “the result seems inevitable” kind of matches. Istomin tried and, at times, played some nice tennis, but it really didn’t matter. Rafa’s through 6-2, 6-2, 6-0.

RG: 1st round photos
Holy schnitkies the photographers were on their game during this match. I had a super hard time whittling things down to less than a half a gillion photos. I want to follow Clive Brunskill around and learn everything he knows.
