Here's Rafa on the cover of Observe Magazine.
Who knew he'd look good in sephia? Well, *we* Rafanatics probably knew. As if he'd look bad in anything. In nothing, I suppose, is the ultimate look for him. But then again it's probably just me. I just can't get over the arms. Oh the arms. Rafa, I worship thine arms. Just look at how small the tennis ball is in his hand. Look!
And a sly, sexy smile. That's it, I'm done.
Oh yes, there's an article to go with it. Complete with interviews and a look at Rafa and his team.
Technique aside, Nadal's true edge is his grounded mentality. He has a rare gift for living in the moment, and the rarer gift of being able to produce precisely what that moment requires.
Lovely. A must read.
Thank you Skyejaden @ Twitter!

Wow, what an awesome article. It's enough to make anyone become a RafaKAD. I want to play table tennis with Rafa!
ReplyDeleteIn the top picture it took me several moments of staring before I noticed the ball in his right hand. You're right, the ball looks tiny!
Flove the wristbands and jeans combo, too.
Agree great article. I always get so sad when I read the part of him crying after SW19 Final in 2007.
ReplyDeleteBut OMG those pics are awesome and the arms, the arms. Excuse me I need a moment.
And the HANDS! OK, and the ARMS...
ReplyDeleteImagine those arms wrapped around your naked body...
Right, that's my working day spoilt. How could one possibly think of anything else for the rest of the day?
Ah, luckily I'm on vacation right now, which means I can totally spend the rest of the day dreaming about Rafa's arms wrapped around my naked body... Yes, that sounds about right... *dozes off to dreamland*
ReplyDeleteFinished work for the day!

OK, so I actually READ the post now, instead of just staring at the picture.
ReplyDelete" In nothing, I suppose, is the ultimate look for him. But then again it’s probably just me."
Eh, no, it's not just you, believe me.
Now, imagine that cover picture, but with Rafa naked... Like, properly naked. That would be quite something, I bet...
*faints*
Oh a girl can dream can't she??
ReplyDelete*of dreaming of Rafa's naked arms around my body, or Rafa's arms around my naked body, or Rafa naked....*
*lifts Rafa's shirt*
ReplyDelete*unbuttons jeans*
*unzips jeans*
*inspects contents*
Uh...girls...I'm going to be here a while. Talk amongst yourselves.
"OK, so I actually READ the post now, instead of just staring at the picture."
ReplyDeleteHAHA same here. It took me three looks at the post to realize there's a link to a great article and another one to actually read it.
That's what Babz makes of us... posting Rafa pictures along with actual articles. TOO! HARD! But love it. LOL
