Comparing photos of Rafa from this past summer with these photos, Rafa is a different person. Personally I think he is still working on emotions re: family situation.

I think Rafa looks vulnerable in this photo and all the photos actually. I think he is just happy to be there – He’d like to win, but personally I doubt this is the time. He looks pale and thinner to me. Hope all is well.

Rafa is so pale… I’m not use to see him like that. It shows he hasn’t got it easy this last year. But I’m sure we’ll see a different Rafa next season, not in London though I’m afraid it’s too soon for a comeback. Djoko is going to win this whole thing, lovely.

i think rog being 28, rafa 23 makes a big difference. rog loves hearing his name as no.1, so do i. it sounds weird any other way.
i do think rafa is happy being there. he’s never done well at this event and missed it last year.

i want rog to beat murray and also end no.1

i like that they have two different motivations and answers. i think they’re both being honest and each of them has a different way of looking at things. neither is good nor bad, as long as fed wins it all! i think fed is definitely motivated to finish #1 after a brilliant season, he wants a ‘6th’ slam! plus he’s not getting any younger, so he wants to keep racking up the titles. it would be a good bookend for 2009 too.

nadal on the other hand i think is really just happy to be healthier and playing. he’s not taking anything for granted and simply wants to do well there and enjoy. you can’t blame him, no?

now, where do we order the wallet prints and 5×7s? those pics make laugh.

I really believe what Rafa says. He doesnt care too much about rankins or matches, he just want to enjoy playing tennis and play the best he can. I love this spirit of his. Good luck, Rafi, in London, you’ll need it! .
PS: I sooooo love this guy!

i actually believe that Nadal really doesn’t care too much about the rankings coz he’s very consistent when asked in every tournament about his goals – it’s always “play my best tennis”. i think this attitude is a better one than Fed’s. still, i hope TMF will play HIS best tennis and win the whole thing.
