#3 seeds? Team Cuteness says “HA!”
Like most of you, I missed out on seeing team cuteness take on the #3 seeds on doubles, Dlouhy and Paes*. But take them on they did. Rafa and Marc! made it through in 3 sets (well, 2 sets and a super tie break – it always feels like cheating calling that 3 sets): 6-4, 3-6, 10-6. Right now, Verdasco/F. Lopez are leading their match, so perhaps we will be blessed with the doubles match of super Spanish hotness…although most of us will not get to see it. *sigh*
Some doubles footage posted by BNPParibasOpen and passed on by Rafafan:
Hello, IW with your windy and lip-scorching sun
Rafa worked his way through Schuettler and some horrid wind to win his first match at Indian Wells: 6-4 6-4. Not that I got to see it. I was in the desert taking pictures of old, abandoned and rusty things. Hey, the day was sold out and a girl has to keep herself entertained. For those who got to watch it, what do you think? How was he playing? Was the play good enough to out-weigh the horribleness of the shorts?
IW pre-tournament interview
Rafa’s interview is up on tennistv.com. At least, I hope this link works – the wireless in my hotel is too slow for the video to play for me.
Hit for Haiti 2 photos
Here are a few of my photos in a small quickly processed size. More photos – including ones of the women’s match and the other guys (heh) and actual tennis will be eventually posted to my flickr account.
And, here’s some really nice photos from the pros.
IW practice and footwork drill
First, doing his footwork drills and then talking to Pico.

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.
