IW doubles draw
The doubles draw is out and guess who’s on it? Yes! The cutest doubles team evah! Rafa and Marc! will team up to play the #3 seeds in the first round. It’ll be tough…can they do it? If they do and if Feli and Nando win their first round, they would play each other. The court might explode from the hotness.
Don’t count this man out
If you aren’t following @JamesLaRosa on twitter you should. If for no other reason than kefuoe and I need more donations to the “JamesLaRosa streaks the Hit for Haiti” fund. Any way…he just tweeted a link to his “He’s Rafa, Dammit” article. Read it. Chill. Be happy – RafaTennis resumes soon.
First IW Facebook update
Posted just a few minutes ago:
Ya en Indian Wells desde ayer. El jet lag hace que me levante a las 6 de la mañana cada dia! Ahora me voy a entrenar, a las 8! Despues mandare un video de bienvenida | In Indian Wells since yesterday. Jet lag terrible, waking up at 6 am. I am going to practice now at 8 am and will send a video later
Isn’t it 7am there now?
[Updated] Of course injury casts doubt
Part two of the as.com interview is up. (Google translation)
When asked about is chances at Indian Wells and Miami:
Basically, the bottom line is that I feel good physically, strong … and knees no longer hurt. The pain is forgotten now. I have come to make tennis workouts up to three hours. Lack of competition … and take confidence. I’ll summarize by saying that trying out with options in every tournament. Options, at least to compete.
IW: Practice photos
Trying out this wonky flash embed that fotoglif.com has – figure it’s more polite than, uh, borrowing the photos. (Thanks, DS) Visit their site to see the photos larger.
Indian Wells draw
Ah…finally time for another RafaDraw before some RafaTennis. The draw for Indian Wells is out. Rafa’s in the bottom half of the draw. Rafa’s first match (in the second round) will be against a qualifier. The first seed he might come up against is Benneteau.
[Updated] I need to continue to play well and win
mary sends in this interview with as.com (Google translation). When asked if the knees and torn tendon were 100%, he answered…kind of.
I’ve been training hard three weeks, from which I was medically discharged for doing so. We’ve done as a pre-season work with the idea of recovering the early-season form, which was to reach Australia. I feel strong and knees do not hurt. Now it is competing.
He goes on to say that during Doha and the AO
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:
(Their stupid flash object is too wide for the content column and they have no sizing options. Hope this is still viewable.)
One trip to the airport…
…at least two news stories. Here’s the second one and here’s a lower quality version, but with very helpful English subtitles.
Posted by vamosrafelnadal. Thanks, mary.
More practice vid and…
….yes, more Coldplay. Love the WHACK of the racket hitting the balls.
