And, here’s some really nice photos from the pros.

Hit for Haiti 2

Meriko has already posted a vid of Rafa’s intro and early shirt change:

The shirt was a special edition item from Nike and the proceeds go to Haiti. More info.

Aside from a few awkward moments (man, those old guys is bitter), it was a really fun event.

Hit for Haiti promos

First, a promotional video posted on Facebook: here. (Thanks, mary)

And then a boring sum-up of the event from tennischannel.com:

Limited edition Fundación Rafa Nadal hat

A limited edition Fundación Rafa Nadal hat is available from Rafa’s official store for a steep fee of 25 Euros (at least steep to those suffering from a weak dollar and the fact that shipping is almost as much as the hat). According to the site header, however, profits from the sales on the site go to Rafa’s foundation, so that’s cool. More info.
