Rafa, if you don’t try to steal the other guy’s shot, you might not end up on your famoos ass:

Nice vid/photos! Rafa wearing RED/Raspberry on GREEN grass reminds me of yummy strawberries and cream! That colour is really striking on him!:o)
He changed his head and wrist gear to red or raspberry or whatever. I like it better. And his hair looks nicer in Germany than in Paris. Must be the hotel shampoo? :)
ahh..good observation..thot sth was different..RED headband! :o)
Great captions as always Miri!!! Rafa should really find out that we are onto his conversations with the towel :)
Rafa looks sooo gorgeous in red on the green grass!!And he seems to have made the transition to grass very easily and happily.
Nice to see him finishing the match off with an ace but the collision..that was totally Marcel’s shot..Rafa stole it :P and fell..
But, happy to see him so happy and relaxed. Beast of luck for the singles today Rafa.
*Best of luck..sorry type :P
There were a point where a smash was so Marcel’s, Rafa took it and smash it into the net ……….. . Adorable our Rafa all in red and white now.
Rafa & Marcel need to improve communication skills on ct. I read presser that said Marcel would not be playing doubles at Olympics with Rafa. Wonder if that is true – I thought that had already been decided.
Yeah..maybe not..hope Rafa gets a competent doubles partner to complement him on court! VAMOS ESPANA!
Miri, thank you hugely for this vid. wz ever so anxious to c it.
Vamos Rafa/Marcel.
Best of luck to Rafa on 2day’s match!
The collision with marvel…did he forget he wz playing doubles? Trust Rafa to go for every shot.
Yes, I think he forgot :P
Yes, I too think so. :)
So, we’e all agreed then — Rafa was having flashbacks!
I saw a bit of this match and it was great fun! Its great to see Rafa having fun and enjoying himself.
