Great to see all those smiles! Rafa’s smile lifts my whole day :)
Love seeing Rafa looking happy and fit. His smiling face makes me smile too:) The day he returns to competition at 100 percent will be a great celebration! Meanwhile, we celebrate and honor all you’ve achieved and the incredible person you are, Rafa…Vamos!!!
The breakfast picture is just amazing. No wonder he cherishes being on his home island. I can almost feel the sea breeze. How lovely that he has time to be with his family during this time of healing. We all miss him but I think this is going to be huge for him in the long run.
Porto Cristo where his house is is beautiful ….. sigh wish I was there now.
I came across something a while back while surfing around the web, did y’all know that Rafa has a friggin’ asteroid named after him?
Don’t get me wrong, i don’t get all caught up in his accomplishments and what-not, its the way he plays and the way he carries himself and respects the game, that’s why i follow him so closely.
But let’s not kid ourselves, when you’ve got an asteroid named after you, i think you’re probably doing alright.
I mean, how many folks out there have an asteriod named after them?
That’s pretty cool, man.
I remember reading about this asteroid named after Rafa a while back & have just checked it out again. It was back in 2008 just after he won Wimbledon for the first time. Doesn’t time fly!!
his smile is my breathe
