*points to new RafaRoger icon* Oh yes Rog, you are so not living that one down.
Flist, this is what happens when Rafa doesn't manage to get with his super speed in time to save a poor line from Carla's murderous forehands:
XD Ouch
I also noticed that when Rafa is playing Carlos he's more nervous than nervous. He picks the wedgie... when he's sitting.
Well I'm sure I saw it from a frontal angle as well but right now I couldn't find the frame and I'd have to watch the whole match to catch the new sitting-underwear-pick.
And a quote that put my mind at ease about the Roger psychological mediatic war:
"A number one like him is out to win all tournaments and nobody should think the contrary. Federer won't settle for just making it to the final. What happens is that everyone does what he can, or knows how to, to take the pressure off."
That just completely destroyed the illusion of Rafa being affected by the uni-dimensional, etc comments. "Or knows how to" XD Oh I adore this kid. And of course he also said that Roger is the favorite to win both Rome and Hamburg, which is a lie, but that just took all the pressure off his shoulders. He's good at that.
And a couple more quotes 'cos I love him when he answers in what I can only describe as the "DUH! *eye-roll*" way:
"Q: Once again, Federer always said that he doesn't like to play you because you put pressure on his backhand with your forehand, so the strategy is quite simple: To play his backhand.
Rafa: Yeah, very simple *laughs* If you look the window, is very, very easy, no? *laughs more* Why all the players don't do the same, no? Maybe not easy, no." (I can see the DUH! face here)
"Q: What do you think will be the key to the match with James tomorrow?
Rafa: *puff/sigh* If I know the key I'm gonna win, no? So I don't know *laughs*
Q: You're very smart aren't you?" XD
