Rafa does social media:
Rafa’s been a bit busy posting updates to Facebook. If you haven’t seen them by now: first, what’s wrong with you? Second, go check them out.
(This is as much as I could gather before I was in serious danger of falling asleep at my keyboard. Night!)


thanks for compiling all the articles! :-)
Thanks Miri!
Thank you Miri for bringing all these articles together. I have read most of them, yes, and would like to say that IMO the best one of the lot is ‘Rafael Nadal Silences his Cynics’ by Lisa-Marie Burrows, a very worthwhile read to anybody who may have missed this article.
Yes, excellent article by Burrows along with those by Tignor and Perry at the top of my list. Thanks Miri!
thanks Miri.
Thank you for these articles. It ‘s a good thing that I missed the career obituaries, thanks to holidays mostly. This period is hard enough for us Rafafans as it is,so optimistic articles are much needed.
