MONTE CARLO: Rafa Through To 3rd

Rafa won 2 and 3 against Chela. Tell me, why does his headband never stays put anymore?



Have to say I'm not terribly impressed with his play, or any play in Monte Carlo so far. Ginge got through but not looking terribly unbeatable. Roger won but Seppi was keeping up with him two for two most of the time. And wtf was up with the Frenchies going down like flies in first round?

Eventhough Rafa didn't look very convincing today,  the headlines are irritating me to no end. Yahoo says "Rafa wins, but his performance belied a bit of rust". Yeah whatever guys.

I really.

Don't.

Care.

Do you?

Oh, to you Rafiscanatics, yes, Xisca is in Monte Carlo. Along with Maribel and Rafa's mom. Will try look for pictures, but no promises.

Rafa Answers For Once, And The World Shakes

So everyone's talking about this.

Q. Would you prefer to go out with a girl that is in tennis, that is a tennis player, or any other girl? Just has nothing to do with it.

RAFAEL NADAL: It is not -- I don't have any preference, you know. Prefer go out with nice and funny girl. Doesn't matter if is player or artist.

This is from the presser yesterday - and looks like it's shaking things up in the Rafanatics/Rafisca/Rafana obsessive world. Oh yes, there is a video recording the interview too!



The whole video is worth watching by itself - fully animated Rafaexpressions! The part of The Question (and The Answer) is at the very end. Frankly? I read and watched the video yesterday and didn't think much of it. But you tell me, Rafanatics!

I did wonder though.. Nice and fun? I can be nice. In fact, I can be verrrrry nice to you, Rafito. And I'm definitely funny, just ask my readers.

*points guns to readers' heads*

Just sayin'. In case. You know. Ahem.

Yep, definitely going out with her because she's nice and funny.

UPDATED: Rafisca Sighting!

Rafa shoots Kia commercial with Xisca in tow.

The pics are at Bauer Griffin. Go!

UPDATE: found the vid of the commercial via Nadal News. Sadly no Xisca there, but Rafa as always is cute as hell. He totally hates the hair primping.
