Gotta love a cheeky interviewer.
Why do you think your arms get so much attention?
This is funny, if you look at many other players they are probably fitter than me. The difference probably is that I was playing sleeveless. Now that I carry shirts with sleeves it doesn't look that different. And also my left arm is much more developed than my right arm. This is because I play lefty and that's sort of my gym, the tennis court. That's where I have fun.
What particular exercises do you do for your arms?
Nothing, believe me. Just the normal things any other player, tennis player, would do.
When you flex your arms after a big shot, do you know that it can intimidate your opponent?
I don't think so. I think that at our level guys don't get impressed with these things. It is more the running, the speed and the shots that really we pay attention to.

Happy Weekend, Rafanatics.
For being the fittest guy in the world, I love it that he sort of dismisses a lot of the questions about his training routines and eating healthily. Just makes me think of those images of him stuffing his face with the chocolate muffin on the training courts in AO this year... :)
ReplyDeleteI mean, there's of course no doubt that he is extremely fit, but he's not a fitness freak and that makes it so...cool.
Great to have frisky friday back, Babz!
Word, CC. Gotta love how humble he is.
ReplyDeleteAnd that part in the article about "growing from a teenager into a man" made me feel all kinds of hot... and like a greedy old woman, hehe.
Now, can Rafa and I bake cakes together now??
Thanks Babz! I do love a good Rafa bulge...
