Someone asked Benito about this article (mangle) and Benito replied…
@radosko nope. Not the case. Not the reality. Rafa is in France and tomorrow will be on TV at M6 news at 8pm CET

He discredited another one too. (mangle):
@_isabellamelo_ I am pretty surprised about this article. A good journalist and a friend. This time got it wrong, not the case

Cool! I like that Rafa fan’s halloween costume! haha..
I like that Rafa will be wearing shorter shorts in 2013:)
Indeed! I’d class that as some VERY interesting info about Rafa’s shorts, Miri!
Yes indeed that can’t be bad! Hopefully he will be showing more of his rested and healed knees.
Nice to read comments by del Potro re Rafa.
