You tell him Rafa LOL! that reporter is usually asleep most of the time in media conferences btw.....he is a nut case:)
But Rafa seems that he took it more like a joke than seriously and the way the reporter was asking it seems he still was asleep :face-with-tears-of-joy:

We call ourselves "tennis vampires" around this time of year. But I/we know you do it most of the year. I don't envy you. Enjoy it while it lasts!

is it tomorrow or thursday
I read this post with no context. Not to be disrespectful, but since I always have to look up the time, and remember what day it is, when we deal with antipodean tennis, and because AP has been torturing Miss Margaret about what day it is in Oz, this one just tipped me over the edge of existential uncertainty. So much for living in the moment! lol
