RafaLint: November 13th

The promoter of the Kooyong exhibition (that many players use as an Australian Open warm-up) is attempting to woo Rafa to attend. It appears that one of his ways of attempting to woo is to go public with his desires. This is the best article I found on the topic…mainly thanks to the quote from Hewitt:

“I like Rafa, I get along well with Rafa. It’d be nice to play him,” Lleyton Hewitt said yesterday. “Plus … he’s my son Cruz’s favourite player, so he’d be happy to see him close up again. He got [Nadal's] autograph at Wimbledon in the locker room.”

• Drinks, anyone?

Rafa does social media:

• Rafa channeled Rocky.
• He vibrated because M&M made the WTF finals.
• He got a little closer.
• He celebrated Marc! & Marcel’s wonderful WTF Championship win.
• And then he played weatherman.

I love that Rafa was so into the WTF doubles final that he tweeted a picture of the first set stats:
