IW: Slow-mo vids

There’s something wrong with me. I could watch Rafa’s footwork all day. (Stupid commercial at 2 minutes in – stop if it you want to miss it.)

IW: Rafa shows his shoes who’s boss

I so love the randomness of this video posted on Rafa’s Facebook account. Here’s his description:

De esta manera hago que los zapatos nuevos sean mas comodos y flexibles para jugar con ellos. Primero entreno y despues juego partido | This is the way I get new shoes to be more flexible and comfortable so I can wear them. I first use them for a warm up and then during the match.

Ah, it’s so glamorous being a tennis pro, no?

He also updated his status:

I am already in Miami after a few days almost “missing”. I practice today at 5.30

Pico and Rafa

Juan Monaco put a video up on his Facebook account that shows off his perpetually erect nipples…oh, and Rafa. Check it out. (And no, I have no idea what they are saying, but I do love how Rafa finds something to fiddle with even when talking with a friend. It’s not just a presser thing.)

(Meant to post this last night and forgot – sorry. sia reminded me it was missing!)

IW: Behind the scenes with Rafa

Thanks to mary for sending in this tennischannel.com video. I just wish they’d allow resizing on embed! If the embed doesn’t work for you, here’s a direct link.
