SEO MIAMI: Rafa Through To 4th

This time I did catch the match, but fell asleep straight after. Oy. Tennis devotion is hard on a girl's beauty sleep.

The match with Frederico Gil was not very exciting despite Rafa blowing his 3-1 lead on the first. I went to get a drink, and next I see he was down 3-4. Looked pretty annoyed and irritated at times, like he couldn't believe it himself. It wasn't that Gil was playing like Federer possesed him, Rafa was just making UEs after UEs.



He ended up taking the set 7-5, and the next 6-3. After playing superbly well in the first, Gil just didn't have any more ideas for the second.


Is it just me or is Gil's shirt actually shockingly short? Can someone tell him it's not a good look? Unless your name is Rafael Nadal, that is.


News of the day (well, for me anyways)was probably Shakira watching Rafa's match. Again.


 


Ick. Duly noted, Shaki. Now please go shake your crotch at someone else's match. I'm pretty sure Nando would oblige. Naw, I'm just kidding. I actually kinda like her. 


These images are to erase the last two:




Ya-haw, baybeee. Again, is it just me or has he become leaner this year? 


Next up for Rafa, Roger's BFF (read: Wawrinka). Match is tonight at 9 PM Miami time.

  1. I was over at the SEO site, and apparently Shakira was doing the 'meet and greet' with a few players. But, I think my thoughts went to the same place as yours, when I saw the picture of her with Rafa. If I didn't know that she has a very long-term b/f, I'd be telling Xisca to watch out.
    Or, maybe that's what he's been so grumpy about. . . .Hmmmm

  2. Is she still with that president/prime minister's son? I have lost so much touch with the celeb world.

  3. I don't even know (or care) who Shakira is. Go ahead. Roll your eyes at me the way the kids do.


    "Again, is it just me or has he become leaner this year? "

    Maybe *someone* got him into yoga. Just sayin'.
