I love the way he couldn't remember Soderling's name, from the 2010 FO final...

I know! The way he finally said it was priceless.

I don't get it. What kind of question is that? 'Can you name the five athletes you have beaten to claim your 8th title at Roland Garros?'

5 athletes? You need to beat 6. And Soderling is semi-retired?

Oh wait I get it, he's talking about finals. Yeah Soderling is the most difficult to remember cos he is out for so long. Puerta is easy because he's the first.

Well, she phrased that question oddly, didn't she? "Which athlete...?"

I'm surprised Rafa didn't arch and eyebrow and ask, "Eez no the Usain Bolt, si?"

I'm surprised that Rafa forgot that Verdasco beat him on clay in 2012 (Madrid)

No, he said he forgot to add this year, so he forgot Zeballos and Djokovic in MC. I think it's funny to see how seriously he takes winning, even something as dumb as a quiz.
