Ed at Nov 12 2:21 pm: I also noticed the wink and grin after the final. Of course, now I’ve started to pay attention to every single post match handshake
Because of the handshake discussion that was started on the QF Preview Fed/Delpo Novak/Stan thread, I paid strict attention to Rafa’s handshake at the end of the match with David, since Rafa lost the match. Rafa not only looked the chair umpire square in the eye, he gave him a cute wink, which I’ve seen him do before. Hopefully my own mild OCD won’t compel me to start keeping a tally of end of match handshakes.
All Indians and cricket fans here, Are you following sachin tendulkar’s last match?? My all-time favourite !! The little master is making me emotional now, will miss his him π
@duecy and tj600 , undoubtedly ! This makes me wonder how sad I will be when Rafa retires! I think I will be sad when federer retires…ahh, why do all good things come to an end haha..
@Ricky, he is playing his last test series . Today marked the beginning of his last career test match… Long Live Little master !
“A recent study by The Orthopedic Specialty Hospital (TOSH), which was supported by USANA, just might hold the key to help you bounce back faster. The study revealed that increased levels of vitamin D pre-workout decreased skeletal muscular weakness after an intense bout of exercise. In other words, taking vitamin D before you exercise can help you recover more quickly afterwards, making it the perfect supplement to pair with your workout.”
I too would like to add my thanks for your unstinting efforts in creating this splendid site. In a few short months Grandstand has gone from strength to strength and is a haven for tennis addicts wanting to interact with others who share their passion.
Happy Thanksgiving Day to all American chums wherever you may be.
Ricky,
I just tested both of the additions and they work perfectly.
Thanks!
good to hear, thanks!
Bravo!

Ricky, this site is becoming better and better.
#highfive
great additions to the Grandstand , Ricky…the website looks really good now
BG is obviously a very cultured man, his taste in beer (Tusker) and tennis players (Rafa) says so:

I love this site…Ricky does such a great job…and I am encouraging some of my non-rafa fans to join…it would become more interesting.. π
:thumbsup: thanks!
The same thing after the final. Not sure it was a wink. More of a conspiratorial grin.
thanks nt13!

I seem to have inserted my comment in the wrong place. It was meant to be a response to Jpa.

I hope he ends the day with a century π
not the day, I mean his innings
@vamosrafa
Not following but thinking about him. He is being talked about with admiration on TV and Radio 4 morning.
Cricket will miss him so much.
Ah, Tendulkar will be missed by many.
I thought he played his last match a few days ago….
