BARCELONA OPEN: Nalby Withdraws, Rafa Through To Semis

Not that he wouldn't if Nalby didn't, but I'm kinda glad he's got a bit of rest before he goes against Kolya.



On day 4, Rafa beat Rochus 62, 60. 

Btw, Kolya is seriously impressing me with his comeback. Months out with injuries and he's waded in to the deepest part of the pool without missing a beat. He might be my second Ginge. I think I have to come up with a name. I'll let you guys know.

This image was taken yesterday, and it made me a little bit sad.


He's trying so hard, no?


Maybe it's just my medicine talking.

  1. Seems that Kolya could put up a good fight against Mr Nadal tomorrow. Should be a good game, can't wait!

    *sighs* I know Babz, I saw that picture of Rafa in the crowd earlier today and felt exactly the same thing, sadness. I mean, what are these people that are crowding him trying to achieve? I can honestly say I would never do anything like that. Hell, I'd feel embarrassed to walk up to him to ask for an autograph (or sumthing) without a crowd around. Would HATE to be a nuisance.

  2. I agree, on the sad note. It really struck me the same way. I am also delighted that he gets a day off, before the weekend.

  3. Agree on the last photo. :(
    What amazes me though is how he stands out of the crowd. He's dripping charisma.
