Nope. I was merely under the impression that this is the common Nadal-fan propaganda. How “un-elitist” Nadal is when that is obviously not true (nor should it be).
hawkeye, the picture didn’t come up on my ipad all I got was – Rafa announces: (blank) not even the icon for picture showed up. I can now see it on my laptop.
Rafa had dinners with King Juan Carlos already when he reigned.

Lavozlibre, August 11, 2012: ¤¤ King Juan Carlos invited Rafa Nadal and a group of people associated with him (his girlfriend & doctors Mikel Sánchez and Eduardo Anitúa with their wives) for a dinner at a popular restaurant in Mallorca, to show his support for the athlete. ¤¤ http://www.lavozlibre.com/userfiles/2a_decada/image/FOTOS%202012/08%20AGOSTO%202012/11%20AGOSTO%202012/rey-cena.jpg
I shudder when I see Rafa do this with his cousins. He could easily drop them. C’mon cousins, enough of that; you are big boys now not toddlers anymore.
It’s Rafa I’m concerned about @nadline10, not his strapping cousin! Now that those pins are healthy (well, according to Uncle T), don’t want any “unusual” weight on ’em!
It’s been raining at Queens all day; now I know why Rafa didn’t want to hang around there until this weekend because he needs some down time in Mallorca before he starts preparing for Wm.
#Jimmy Connors: “Tennis needs Nadal at World No. 1, he’s more exciting than Djokovic or Federer”
Yes. By far.
When did he say this? Recently?
I just posted a tweet with dates and all. Tweet is still under moderation, it will show the date Jimbo said it.
Rafa was interviewed by Annabel Croft (Eurosport):

Viiktor Troicki: tweeted: “Thanks to great champion Rafael Nadal for giving us lift to London!”

nice one, Rafa
A private jet? I thought “humbilito” only travels economy. :p
^^Well, you thought wrong. Economy only works for Slam-less fans like you and I……
Jealous, are we?
Nope. I was merely under the impression that this is the common Nadal-fan propaganda. How “un-elitist” Nadal is when that is obviously not true (nor should it be).
Rafael Nadal’s interview for BBC at Queen’s Club / + Practice (15/06/2015)

It’s the Rafa Nadal Academy he is building in his hometown.
Thanks for explaining. I was wondering what on earth Rafa had announced.
@nadline gets docked five house points.
I want to mention that I was in Mallorca for holidays last year and visited Manacor, but didn’t see Rafa anywhere 🙁
Shireling ( at 12:22 pm),
Did you look for him on his practice courts? 🙂
hawkeye, the picture didn’t come up on my ipad all I got was – Rafa announces: (blank) not even the icon for picture showed up. I can now see it on my laptop.
@nadline gets docked an extra five house points for making excuses.
no, not really… I took a picture of myself – I believe they’re called selfies nowadays – with the town’s name-plate behind me and then… I lost it…
No selfie sticks allowed at Wimbly this year.
how about regular sticks? 😉
Two very important people – Rafa and Juan Carlos I (the former King of Spain) – celebrated the 20th anniversary of Cambio de Tercio, the best Spanish restaurant in London:

private jets, dinners with ex-kings… it’s a miracle people like Rafa still find the motivation to keep competing at all

Maybe it’s just like Rocky 3 all over again.

Rafa has humility. Such things don’t go to his head.
That’s what they said about Rocky too.
Dear Rafa,
Please get your confidence back. Tennis without you is doing my head in.

Rocky lost his confidence too.
The parallels are eerily familiar.
Rafa, this is for you:

This was the song that made Rocky hungry again.

Rafa needs Micky as coach. Just look at how humble Rocky was in Rocky I.

Here is my song for Rafa.

I agree, ritb, Rafa doesn’t need any extra activities to hamper his fitness.

Vamos Rafa! Have a good Wimby!
