Poh, I just read the article on BR . It’s a pretty good way to sum up Rafa’s chances but what surprised me was that it came from a Fed fan .
I think Nadal will surpass the predictions made in the article though . Only time will tell
Love Rafa at the fish counter in the suuupermarrrket. And yes, the arse looks ripe for grabbing/smacking in those grey sweats too.
CC I have missed you!!! I too love rafa at the supermarket and have been thinking about how to get my hands in those sweat pants pockets!!! ;)
There were fish in the photo?!
I missed the fish…not the focus of my attention:)
