This is the correct link, the link above is his on court interview after R2.

“Rafa is immense, Rafa is a sporting icon, the likes of which we will never see again”
“His popularity is worldwide and the game wants him playing for as long as possible”.

Amazing!
I still can’t over that. It’s been gnawing at my mind since I learned about it. Won’t let go.
Maybe you have a kind of tunnel vision, chloro. 🙂

I am wondering why someone named @octobrina10 on another site (aka @augustan08) who claims to be a Rafa fan sees the need to have “Fed was honored to be the first member of the club ’20 losses to Rafa’. Vamos!” on their signature on EVERY post they make on a tennis forum?

vamosrafa, for your disappointment:

It is a bit sad when a tennis player is everything for someone.
I’m wondering if Rafa is everything for a poster named @octoburro10.
#burro
Although at least TENNIS is her life which, in some sense, is broader than some.
#DoYou???
Very astutely observed, stina, indeed!
I am as of today afflicted all of a sudden with, for me, a entirely novel experience, a (mild, thankfully) case of tunnel vision…
This tunnel being very narrow and directed at a single topic: understanding how it could be that the bull called himself burro in that particular moment, and why that even matters. I mean why it even matters to anyone.
As soon as I will have figured that out, no doubt, said tunnel will vanish into thin air. And the whole thing will be forgot (sic).
Alas, chloro, we may never know. And you should be willing to accept this and not be too hard on yourself.
It could indeed become the eight Wonder of the World.

Can’t you just SMILE, chloro ??!! 🙂
Hawk’s Eye,
The penny has dropped.
All of a sudden an epic epiphany.
No, actually. Not epic. Epics are very long full mythical poems of an entire epoch of a civilization and such. So not epic.
Not an epiphany, either. Epiphanies are… well, just google it.
All of a sudden, then, a tiny insight popped into my mind. The bull call himself donkey because he it’s just one of the things he might call himself when he has just played poorly before letting that go and moving on to the next point with a fresh mind. But I knew that already… why did it take me this long? Must be a donkey.
In any case, what matters is that the transient tunnel vision condition cleared up with that epic, I mean teeny insight.
It came with another insight. It doesn’t matter what the bull call himself to himself in that teeny moment. Even if a ball girl heard it. Shouldn’t matter to anyone. Not too much anyway. But I knew that too already before. So why did it take me this long to know it again? Must be a donkey.
Am I being too hard on myself then? Must be a donkey.
Nice to be free of the tunnel vision, though, is all I can say. No more blinkers on my horse I mean donkey eyes.
Feels so much better now. Thanks for asking.
Back to our regular programming….
I nearly forgot:

It really ain’t the place nor time to reel off rhyming diction, but yet we’ll write a final rhyme …

chloro! Please don’t twist the word of the ballgirl (Maura), who is a Rafa fan! And please learn to smile! 🙂
No, she is a #burroFanatic, like yourself (well not quite as obsessed).
I am curious @augustan08 (aka @octoburro10), is Stan and Rafa everything for you too?

February 20, 2015 at 8:23 pm,
I repeat what has already been written: some people can start a fight in an empty room.
chloro, I am wondering what YOU are permanently fighting for ? 🙂
hawkeye63 has made it clear that he can’t stand Rafa&fans pictures here, in Rafa’s thread (see February 10, at 9:05pm in the thread “The rest”). What’s your reason? 🙂
I say, it has ‘already been written’; must be quite serious stuff 🙂
fight? Fight? 🙂
No fight. Simply just making fun of your posts, is all, just a good laugh 🙂
#GetIt?
I even remembered to put in smileys this time, good no?
chloro says:
February 20, 2015 at 9:15 pm,
—I say, it has ‘already been written’; must be quite serious stuff 🙂 —
Again, why are you SO serious?! 🙂
I used the phrase ‘already been written’ BECAUSE I admitted that I have written this several times, repeating someone’s phrase. I only wanted to avoid accusations that I have kept repeating… 🙂
chloro,
Thank you for being here and posting your thoughts!
Some people really need to get a sense of humor. Oh and by that I do NOT mean making fun of others!
I love Rafa, but he is not the center of my life. There! I said it! I have a life that is filled with many things and Rafa is a part of it. I will love and support him in every match. But I do have perspective. I also am able to appreciate tennis from other players. As does Rafa! 🙂

Yep, chloro needs to get a sense of humor and not attack a ballgirl (actually a young woman) for her FUNNY tweet.
That’s Maura the ballgirl:

@augustan08 (aka @octoburro10) I am wondering why you would expect me to answer your question when you won’t answer mine but I am curious as to why you don’t show my alleged post to which you refer here as you always do because, as is usually the case, I have no idea what you are talking about (nor does anyone here I am guessing).
You first.

hawkeye63 seems desperately seeking attention from somebody (from whom?).
It’s not the first time:

@augustan08 (aka @octoburro10) you are upset that your hero Stan who you defend when he complains lost today. Don’t worry it gets better. 🙂
You first.

People, be aware that you’ll put yourself at risk, if you don’t respond to hawkeye63!
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B-c4QeGCQAAdqKR.png
Tell me @augustan08 (aka @octoburro10), I’m wondering why you are so concerned about others when you really should be worried about your unhealthy all consuming obsession bouncing endlessly from forum to forum denouncing those whether they be Rafans, Fedfans or tennis fans just to feel better about yourself.
It is really quite sad. 🙂

Nadal was asked about his weight. He looks lighter and leaner, but said nothing has changed. ”I am not thinner,” he said. ”For six years my weight has been practically the same, always between 85 and 86 1/2 kilos (188-190 pounds). Before I used to play with sleeveless shirts. This makes the muscles seem like more. My physical side is about the same as always. Everything is the same. There are no changes in my life. There are no changes in my preparation.”

That shorts backwards thingy is why I love Rafa! He is so unpretentious, I can totally see Rafa putting on his shorts without bothering to check which side is front! He has better things to worry about: winning a tennis match!
Roger, on the other hand, has staff arranging his clothes and checking he has got his clothes the right way on I should imagine…………..

Oh people need to leave Rafa alone already! Enough………….
Bring on the Fog……….
Enough already! If the ATP rules were flexible Rafa would have been able to go indoors and put his shorts on properly. Had this been any other player no more would have been said. This picture looks photoshopped to me.
If it had been Fed a fatwa would have been issued against any person posting the pics, together with withering claims the posters are not real tennis fans…………..
I think, Rafa enjoyed the excitement among the crowd! 🙂
He has said he has felt fantastic when girls have screamed.
A press-conference at the AO 2011:¤¤ “No, I feel fantastic,” Nadal smiled when asked if girls screaming their undying love for him puts him off his game, before asking a female journalist if she thought he was sexy.¤¤
