I'm Seriously Serious About This Telekinesis Thing.

I mean, just look:

See?

See??? He's not hitting a forehand here, he's holding the racquet all wrong, so it *must* be superpowers.

Now he's trying to make it harder for himself by putting a racquet between his gaze and the ball.. Won't work, Rafa.

Won't work.

 

BARCELONA OPEN: This Is Not The Hardcourts, Gil.

Rafa won easy over Gil Frederico in Barcelona yesterday, 62, 62.



If we look back at Miami, Rafa had some trouble putting Gil away in the first set of their match on the third round. But alas, this is clay, yes?

I caught a bit of the match and all I could remember was Rafa workin' his thang and Gil falling all over the place trying to get to the ball. There were a couple of good balls from Gil, vicious pace and great placing, but again, this is clay, yes? Oh yeah, he's still wearing that ridiculously short shirt. 

I don't know. Maybe it's not that short, but he just looks funny in it.

Next up for Rafa is Rochus, who swept Richard Gasquet out of the draw, but to be honest, who can't do that nowadays? If Nico Almagro somehow gets past Nalby, it'd be interesting to see if he has made some kind of improvement over the last year, how he measures against Rafa. Their last meeting was in last year's French Open. From the other quarter, I want Kolya and Wawa to battle it out and the winner to meet Rafa in the semi, but as much as I adore Wawa I want Kolya to go forth. Firstly, he deserves as much and secondly, Rafa deserves a challenging opponent. Everyone else seems such a walkover.

Right, serious stuff (ha!) done, let's bring on the picture, yes?

Let's Play Pretend. You Steal Towels, I Be Officer...

This is too cute for words.



*sigh*

I wish he's here to make me feel better. Spoon feed me some Spanish version of sick room food. I'll even take it from his hand. Or his chest. Or knees. Or... *off to dreamland*

No Wonder He's Winning All The Time.

If this is the kind of power he weilds on court, I'm not surprised. I mean, telekinesis? Even Bjorn didn't have that.

See, he's controlling it with his eyes!

I wonder if it's just the camera filter (is there such a thing? I know shite of photography) or his skin is actually as smooth as that. It bugs me so much when I see a guy with better skin/hair than me. *shakes fist*

Rafa practicing during Barcelona Open day one. God bless white shorts. They just mold like nothing else.

"Bet You Can't Win Wimby With This, Biceps Boy."

Here's Manolo Santana and our very own Rafael Nadal holding a racquet used by Manolo the year he won Wimby during an event for Rafa's foundation on the 21st of April.

Boy, that racquet is decrepit and an antique. And is it just me or that racquet is longer than the ones they use nowadays? I'm too lazy to do research about this, but if no one answers me I will probably do it. Damn me and my sense of curiosity. Come on guys, take pity on a sick girl here.

Red on Rafa = one hot Spanish hunk.

And everytime I read/hear/see this guy's name I unconsciously tack on "Blahnik" behind it. Am I rambling? As if that's not all I do in this blog!

 

Basement Pictures. Again.

I'll never have enough of these.

Because we're all like, not stalkering him enough.

You say Ginge has curly hair? Ernests Gulbis? Feh. Now *those*are curls.

I Think I've Caught The Ginge Fever

Ginge Fever (tm Jills): an awesome state to be in if you're a tennis fan. You're troubled with denial, but then you feel this terrible urge to tell everyone else you've got it. Not so much awesome if you take tennis out of the fever. Because then you'll be admitting to lusting over this pasty, skinny, really dorky dude.

Here's Andy Murray and Some Very Metrosexual Dude (read: David Beckham) at No.10 Downing Street in London. They are marking the launch of the campaign "Malaria No More UK" and focuses on mobilising the public to raise funds for bed nets in Africa. Actually Andy tweeted about it and gave us a link. Go support him and all that.

Here are they with the Prime Minister. Yeah, 'cause he's that important, y'all.

I cannot get over his snaggletooth. It's so awesomely adorable.

*sigh*

That's all.
