Rafa’s final entries are up on The Times site. First, the blog:

Good morning everyone and first of all thanks for all your support these past weeks.

I am already in Mallorca, back home. Now will be taking some time off, some holidays since I have practically been playing since the Davis Cup tie against Belgium, and that was back at the end of February!

I will be 2 weeks completely off, with my friends, enjoying the summer here in Mallorca.

I am obviously

Wimbly: Times Blog and Q&A #12

A new combined blog & Q&A entry is up on The Times. Can we guess what I’m going to post first? Yeah, the blog:

Hi everyone,

I had a quite day at Wimbledon on Saturday. Practiced with the British junior I have been practicing with almost all week this week. I want to thank him (Evan Hoyt) for these days (today he is also warming me up before the match) and his coach for helping me.

I had some time with my team

Wimbly: Times Blog and Q&A #11

New entries are up! Rafa was feeling chatty. First, the blog:

Hello everybody,

My first words go to Andy Murray, he is a very talented player, a really good one, best of best and yesterday during the first set he proved it once again. What a first set, there was no way I could keep up with his shots! I always say it but it will be sooner than later that he will win a Grand Slam. And I also think that even

New entry up on The Times. First, the blog:

Hello everyone. We are back at Wimbledon semis against a great player. I have always said that Andy is one of the best and here you go he is again at a Grand Slam semi-final. We have always played great matches and I am sure this will not be an exception.

I have had a lot of questions about the crowds and I have to say that I have always seen this crowd

Wimbly: Times Blog and Q&A #9

New Times entries are up! I love it when that happens before bed time. First, the blog:

Lot of things to say tonight but on a personal level the most important thing is what I posted on my facebook today announcing that the MRI went well, negative result on an injury.

I resumed practiced at 4.30 but in the end it turned out to be one hour later than announced since I got changed courts a couple of times.

Most importantly to me, on

New entries up on The Times. First, the blog:

Hello everyone and please find here a few words before the answers. Those of you who have seen the match, I am sure you have enjoyed it. It was a great level of match and to be honest I wasn’t sure I could finish it.

At some point I felt a lot of pain, like if something had broken… I almost cried of pain and of thinking I could have really gotten injured. I

Wimbly: Times Blog and Q&A #7

New entries up on The Times. First, the blog:

Hello everyone,

Kind of late today writing this blog after I had a quiet dinner at my house with my team and family. More or less like a typical Sunday although with Spanish times!

It was a really beautiful day today, very sunny and warm and I have to say that with days like this it is difficult to find a nicer place than the UK. So green and nice it is just amazing!

Thanks

New entries up on the Times site! First, the blog:

Hello everyone,

I am writing this blog before going for dinner. Normally I always write it after I go for dinner either here at the house in Wimbledon or at a restaurant, but today since I am going out for dinner to London, to the city I thought I could write it now.

I will go to one of my favorite places in London and it is not this time El Cambio de Tercio which

Rafa latest entries are up on The Times site. First, the blog:

Well it had to happen I suppose. First time I don’t play on center court this year and rain!

Couldn’t finish my match and tomorrow I will resume play during the morning. Not a big deal. if you compare it with other players that had to play two or even three days in a row other years.

We are lucky to play on center court where you have
