C’mon Rafaaaa!Nice jacket btw!
O, my GOD! Rafa looks more and more and more and MORE hot! He’s a sexy beast! And I love his hair, soo messy.
Good luck, Rafito! Be healthy and happy!
Well said, cris!
Yes, be healthy and happy, Rafa, you beautiful boy.
(And it is a very nice jacket! He looks fabulous.
)
Guess who’s he’s calling? Gypsy or Xisca??
It looks like he’s talking to Xisca with one hand and texting Shakira with the other!
He looks sexy! Yum!
And this : – “Hola Shakira” is hilarious. And probably true.
FreakyFrites, what’s going on here on GTTB? No mention of the Federer fan who’s contributing to charity from beyond the grave. No mention of the LA times interview with Ellison where he talks about being a Nadal “fan-boy”. Its getting stale around here.
LOL Rafa you’re such a hottie! Glad to see him well and training. I hope we can see the new improved Rafa at IW. But my heart goes to Novak!
did you guys take those pics?! they’re fantastic. nice to see rafa back!
Hi Judy!
No, we didn’t take these, but we were on site today and took a billion of Roger (didn’t see Rafa.) So we’re looking forward to posting ‘em tonight!
Got some reaally nice ones of Rog. Hope you are ready to see every pore of Roger’s face!
hell yeah, I am!!
*gives jfK stank face*
LUCKYYYYY!
Because I am a huge tennis fan and I LOVE tennis pics, I will be more than grateful for your Rog pics. BUT, if we don’t also eventually get some crazy hi-def pics of Rafa down the line sometime, I will…I’ll…draw mustaches on all of your Rog pics! I mean it! I’m not bluffing! Big loopy ‘staches! And fuzzy ones too!
*grins* I hope you guys are enjoying yourselves and having a blast seeing the tennis boy and girls up close practicing their craft. Snap away. Tennis pictures are the best. Can you even take some pictures of the complex and stuff? If you have time that is.
)
*boys (typo)
thank god for digital! keeping firing away at rog! we can take it!
Lookin fiiiine Rrrrafa …. yum.
are you sure he’s practicing…feels like he’s in some photo shoot or something yummmyyy
*shrieks at the top of her lungs* Man, it’s been ages since I last had the change to log on and read properly.
OMG! What a sight for sore eyes! What a breath of fresh air! I swear, they should bottle him up and sell him. I’ve gotta feeling that he’d make me a “day person” in a minute. He looks absoluley breath-taking in the pictures. I flove his bushy-wacked out mane.
LOL @ your cheekiness FreakFrites and co. “Hola Shakira?” and Liz’s – calling Xisca with one phone and texting Shakira with the other. XD
You guys are making him out to be this playboy. Something tells me that he wouldn’t be able to handle that kind of sneakiness. First of all, Xisca could TOTALLY beat him up.
And Rafa strikes me as the kind of guy that would be helpless in that kind of a situation. Can you imagine being double-teamed by both X and Shaki? ROFLOL!
Thanks a lot for the post FreakFrites. Love it. You and your site are hardly stale. You’re as juicy as the thought of Rafa having twin boys and then his children and Roger’s children marrying and having children. <3 (Yeah, I'm nuts)
I can NOT WAIT for RafaTennis! I've been in such a jovial mood all week knowing all of the deliciousness we have to look forward to as tennis fans. I've also been obsessively cleaning my house. It's absolutely spotless now! The poor non-tennis fans in my life sadly cannot join in the rainbows and joy (and insanity). *snickers*
Poor suckers. Although, I must say, I HAVE managed to add several new people to my tennis viewing get-together. Guess how I reeled thme in? You got it! The Gypsy video. No. Kidding.
After watching it over and over again and listening to them squeal over the "ZOMGFREAKINGHOTTMODEL"…I smugly dropped the bomb on them. At first they thought I was joking that he was a tennis player. Within a few seconds, I had quite a few tennis blogs up showing them who he is (one of which was yours, of course, Freaky). I casually announced that the "ZOMGFREAKINGHOTTMODEL" will be playing tennis again very soon. Instead of the usual "WHA?-so, when are we going to hang out in…", I got a collective "WHEN?"
Needless to say, they've booked their date to come and meet up at my house during for the tennis viewing pleasure. I plan on introducing them to my OTHER group of friends who are tennis nerds like us. Hopefully they'll mush perfectly (like Rafa and cookies ^_^).
People, I am making my move and doing my part in ropin' in more tennis fans. Fingers crossed. But thanks to Rafa's inate HOTTness and Charm, it may not be hard after all. I'm going in for the kill…
BTW: A big 'HI!' and hug to Lorrie (she's a great Fedophile of this Rafanatic and we plan on going to Mallorca together to ambush both Rafa and Roger on the beach.). 'Hope all is well with you. You must be so psyched about all of the awesomeness we're in for. A 'Hit for Haiti 2'?! I'm virtually jumping up and down and hugging you right now.
HOLA LILYPOP!!!!!!!! So nice to have you and your crazy awesome enthusiasm BACK!
“Thanks a lot for the post FreakFrites. Love it. You and your site are hardly stale. You’re as juicy as the thought of Rafa having twin boys and then his children and Roger’s children marrying and having children. <3 (Yeah, I’m nuts)”
You are not nuts, you are hilarious! But really, that’s a pretty awesome idea. It’s okay if Rafa’s boys are a few years younger than Roger’s girls, since Mirka’s older and all – they set the trend.
Glad to hear that Rafa’s video is helping the tennis world. Thanks to you!
*beams* I’ve really missed you, your blog, and fellow tennis fanatics. I officially have a few days to myself. So I plan on drowning myself in all things tennis. I’ve spent the pass hour (?) reading through past entries and catching up. ^_^
It would be totally okay for Roger’s baby girls to be older than Rafa’s baby boys (though when they get married, they won’t be babies
) In fact, it’s downright adorable. Imagine what family get-togethers would be like?
Yeah, that Rafa Gypsy video has come in handy. This particular group contains people who are NOT interested in watching sports. Ever. So to finally garner some of their attention is a big deal for me. I plan on going all out. I’m taking this opportunity to convert them to Tennisanity very very seriously. I’ve rehearsed explaining the rules in a succinct manner (read: dumbed-down to keep their attention. I love them. Really I do.) And just for backup, I’ve downloaded the Gypsy video and I plan to make snacks. So all is set. I plan on introducing them to other tennis players as well (like Rogelio, of course.) Plus, I’ll have my tennis nerds buddies present who will add to the overall affect of getting the “tennis is SO awesome and SO engaing and you can scream and cheer when watching it too! And look how much we enjoy debating over it!” vibe going.
But I don’t want to overwhelm them, so I’ll take it slow. If they show signs of restlessness, I’ll change the subject for a while (or thrown them out if Rafa happens to be playing at the time.)
It’s great to see that you and Fritters are rocking and rolling with your blog.
hugs to you too lilypop. i missed you. i’m glad i backtracked and found your post. i am psyched and tomorrow is hit4haiti day. hope all ur friends mush together and they love rafa and roger. imagine the fantastic tennis genes when, not if rog and rafas kids have kids. hugging u too right now…..hugs4haiti.
this blog is really strange. I hardly ever see fighting. I mean, there are many FedKADs and RafaKADs…but you all seem to get along just fine without attacking eachother’s favorites and attacking eachother. what’s more, you seem to really respect eachother and eachother’s favorites. I’m really surprised.you guys aren’t normal.
Frites and Fedfans here know that their guy is not perfect (or god). She even mocked his not-so-humble interviews sometimes, and we, readers (non FedKad) respect that.
