This was the introduction of Rafa in his first match, my goodness, any good tennis follower has to get goose bumps listening it

And to top his day off, Real Madrid beat Juventus. Now, if he just gives himself the ultimate birthday present....

Here a link to a piece from El País on Rafa's girlfriend. I'm posting it because it's unusual to find any piece on her, and El País isn't given to fluff stories. It's in Spanish, but I can give bullet points, if anyone wants to know. I'm rather wishing that Front and Darth would have a look. There's a picture of Rafa's sister. Her guns are impressive, and I don't even thinks she does sports. Might convince them he comes by his genetically. (And if they need encouragement, she's very pretty. :dance1:)

Nadal when he was 16 years old said: "I would like to be a great player but it will take a lot of time"

It is hot out there. The grass is chomped already. If Rafa gets out of tricky R3 and R4, he is going to be extremely dangerous.

New to this forum and would like to connect with some Nadal fans, discuss his draws, matches, progress through the latter part of the season, body, spirit, tactics, whatever!
As of today, August 14, he has just gone #1 for the first time since 2014. It's a big occasion.
