This Is ALL Kinds Of Wrong

But I still can't stop laughing.

Whoever it was that had this awesome idea did an awesome job. I swear I almost didn't recognize Rafa. And I love how they left that Nike headband on Roger - somehow it fits the awesome craziness.

Can someone tell me - WHO'S supposed to be Darth Vader??

Shakira On Rafa: "He's An Animal..."

Jay. Sus. Did you notice the pause before she said, "on courrt"?

I take it back. Turns out I don't like her that much. She got touched by Rafa, and got his shirt as well. *shakes fist*

Some wenches have all the luck. *cries*

SEO MIAMI: Because Miri Knows Me Very, Very Well

In case some of y'all are living in some other Rafa-universe, Miri from Nadal News was in Miami for a few days, and managed to catch 3 (THREE!) Rafa matches. I for one, salute her dedication because following her Twitter feed, I found out that she was out and running to the tournament before she so much soaked her feet in the hotel room bathtub.

Because she is very, very kind to yours truly (and you and you and you), here are a few pictures she managed to take.

Why, yessssssssss. A new twist on the "Spanish guitar shape" expression.

Arguably the hawtest man on tour in our generation. Before Rafa.

*TWITCH*

Why, Miri, how did you know I was hankering for a 300-ish Spartan tennis player?

She even managed to snap a few of Bjorn Phau!

Miri you're starting to scare me. I think you know me a leeetle too well.

But as they say, overshare, overschmare.

This is truly a milestone post. I managed to mention 300 the movie in a post with Rafa, Ginge, and Safin. Yay me. More pictures will be posted through Flickr, so stay tuned!

Rafa's Babolat Advert

Here's a serving for all of us who lives in uncivilized places and therefore, no Tennis Mag.

As my BFF would say:

"Yes Rafa, bite it harder! Oh, it hurts sooo goooood!"

Okay, gonna go take my pill now.

Btw, he looks a little weird there. Photoshop much? Discuss.

 

Cheekbones Ahoy!

Here's Rafa with Some other guy! at someone's basement in Manacor.



Yeah. Again, no one's mauling him, cos they're all like, blind to hawtness or something. I do wonder what the guy on Rafa's right so excited about. Wait, I can't believe I just typed that. Never mind.



He's toned it down for the second picture but we're smarter than that! You have been noted by the Rafanatics, Excited Guy. Watch it.

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.
