when players say rankings doesnt matter to them, i dont believe it but when Rafa says is somehow i kind of believe him...im hoping for an all Spanish semis *crosses fingers*

congrats to Roger for the award :)

I don't know about other tournaments but yes, in Rome every player gets a stuffed lion on their chairs. Don't know if they have to leave it there or if they can take it with them.

To be honest, I like this trophy better than the kind of vases the winner gets :)

I haven't seen the lions. I liked it when Rafa was photographed with a stuffed panda. :)
