What Mats said about the top four was interesting, particularly this bit about why Rafa can’t win Wimby:
“Nadal has to play really well for seven matches in a row and Djokovic doesn’t.”
That is so true, huh? On grass Rafa will have to fight to the bitter end where Djoker and Fed just have to do enough to get through, like Rafa did in the earlier rounds of FO.
Well, the bitter fight will make the victory all the sweeter in the end, I should think. :)
Loved reading about the prank Rafa pulled on Andy. Didn’t know he was so naughty. He must be better at writing English than speaking coz the text he sent Andy had none of the Rafaisms.:)At least Andy didn’t think it was from Rafa. Or did Mary help him?
I like the fact that Rafa has a playful side. Nice that Andy and Rafa seem to be quite good friends.
I think he’s a naturally friendly and sociable person.
