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.

Whew! Great photos. Love #11, 14, and especially #35! VAAAHMOOOOSSS
yessssssssssss…………..oh my……..
Second to the last pic…I can’t even…
wow.
I know. Wow.
Why can’t they just decide the Slams on looks???
Yes! All-Spanish final.
seriously..each slam for him..
Haha would be boring – Rafa and Deliciano in EVERY final! Not that I’d mind that one bit! :)))
Nothing boring there for me … be still, my heart!
You know, I must have had a mental blackout, completely wrong choice of word! And I totally agree, nothing boring there at all!!!
Lovely pics!Rafa looks gorgeous in Raspberry or Scarlet or whatever that colour is.
Love pics #4,21,24 and agree with you Miri on pics # 32, 33, 36.
Excuse me now..
:)
Sorry i meant #35 not 36.
I love your caption on #20,#26 and #30! SO FUNNY!hahhaa..shunning the towel,etc…Hilarious!:o)
Pic #12 : I feel for the ball. It must be really skerrrd from the way Rafa was eyeing it! :D
I love technology. With all these good quality pics, I can count Rafa’s chest chairs, could tell his hand from the others and smell his sweaty neck. Hmmm…
thz miri~
much more special capture than the other tournaments!
scarlet rafa is really sharp in red clay~
I love pic ≠15. And the hands.
Ah, the hands. The man is a banquet of delights.
great pics, love the photo comments and love this site.
Thanks Miri.
great pics. i love Rafa’s serve look and the shirt change one well oooffffttt! thanks Miri :)
Mmmmm Pretty in Pink!
Thanks for posting – they are a great set of photos.
So many gorgeous photos of Rafa! So beautiful in red!!
Good lord these are beautiful pics. The second to last is just incredible (did Brunskill take that one?). Agree with you, Miri, Clive Brunskill is a fantastic photographer (his pics of Rafa for Hello mag a couple of years ago are some of my favorites). But don’t sell yourself short – you take amazing pictures!
Pic #35, Rafa’s unshaven look + skin colour= Perfection. He really is something else.
His t-shirt looks red in some pics and in others more raspberry, the same as on TV.
hez luking toooo adorable in da second last one…
Breathtaking photography…Rafa’s hands, especially beautiful
WOW!! Awesome photos!
I really like the colours & comoposition of #9, like 11 too.
I like 16/17 together for the Rafa/smile!
#28 is great, and LOVE the hand shots!
Best caption to the “calm down… it’s not pink”
Top stuff! Thanks Miri for including where the photo’s are sourced from. It’s really annoying when sites don’t do that & you want to follow up with something.
Clive Brunskill seems to be one of Rafa’s favorite photographers, and Rafa one of Clive’s favorite subjects. If you haven’t yet been, check out Brunskill’s portfolio on his own site. Much yummy 100% sure.
Although I think #35 above is CB’s masterpiece …
