The hands, THE HANDS! How can they be so beautiful?
That is a very legitimate question indeed. I’ve come to believe that it’s a Spanish quality (most of the Spaniards I know have very nice hands) but I think in Rafa’s case God made an extra effort ;-)
The hands, the face, the arms ….. All beautiful! Love all those smiles!
These are not just some random fans – this was the clinic for journalists & photographers, and some among them brought their kids along.
The squirmy kid in pic #12 is the youngest kid there, Luca Caramico (4).
Here’s a clip with Luca, a huge Rafa fan, who has been practicing tennis for 6 months, pestering parents to come and watch Rafa play ever since his Brazil visit was announced, managed to stay up after midnight watching doubles in person, and now even hitting with his idol – all that told by his parents Marcelo & Tatiana:
Thanks Robert! Rafa + Luca = adorable!
Yes, thanks Robert! Luca really stood out to me right from pic #3 coz he’s the only one looking at Rafa. I thought “smart kid, he knows what to pay attention to!”
Some really gorgeous pictures here. Looks like Rafa had a lot of fun doing the clinic. I think #1 is my favourite! And i like 2 as well.
Both 9 & 10 stand out. I’m as into the hands as anyone, and i like most of the smiles! Very good set, thanks Miri!!
Our boy is melting my heart on this valentine’s day, with those smiles!!!! *faints*

Rafa is so sweet with kids! My 3 year old son already adores him just because I do. Lucky Luca!!! Wish we can meet him in person, too. BTW, I love his cap. Hope Nike sells this color.
Lucky Luca! He looks pleased with himself there. Rafa is so good with kids and always careful and considerate with them, its one of his endearing aspects.
