Rafateers Ahoy!!!

First topic message reminder :

Miami Sound Machine ...

After a run to the final of Indian Wells, where Rafa mysteriously left his form in the toilet, we now move on to one of his favourite locations, full of latino flava and great Rafa support ... Miami.

For the man who holds the record of winning the most Masters Serious titles, this is one of few that eludes him. He's been to the final only once before, and last year saw one of the saddest sights I can ever recall of Rafa ... that of him cursing and beating his leg above the knee as it seemed that his knees where once again failing him.

The doubles are dropped for this tournament, and Uncle Toni is back in town. Rafa dropped out of playing in the charity football match for Japan stating that with this tournament and for what is to come, he's entering the most important phase of the season for him, and he has to be careful.

He faces one of his more difficult draws for a while, and with Novak rising to Number 2, this is the first tournament where we have Rafa and Feds drawn to meet in the semi-final. Can Rafa steer his way through an un-chartered draw? Will he meet Novak once again in the final and is he the man to end his fantastic winning streak? Can he finally get a title that eludes him in the so-called "5th Slam" and will he celebrate by swimming with the dolphins or will Dorky go and re-acquaint himself with his old mate Goofy in Disneyland?

C'mon Rafa ... you can DO it!!!

=================================================================================

Welcome to the Rafael Nadal chat thread. This is a place to celebrate, be positive and to have fun whilst discussing Rafa, the Armada and tennis in general. So whether you are a long-time poster, a newbie, or maybe a nervous lurker, if you can meet Rafa's triumphs and disasters and treat those two imposters just the same, then this is the place for you. All are welcome, so please feel free to join in with the fun ...

At least Feli doesn't need a spray tan...and I bet he hasn't got VPL either

Let's hope him and Fer last until Wednesday....last year I saw them lose their doubles on the coldest Sunday evening.....I was frozen, as was Feli's face when they lost....Poor Fer did his level best to try to egg Feli on, but he just didn't want to play...typical really

It would be a drim, noh? to see FeliFer playing together.

<thud>

Blimey no one posted on here yet?

Hola Rafateers

Wooffs! I thought you said that there was no sign of Rafa in the Manchester Armani store!? Were you just teasing us or was it a <firstlie> or did I misread completely?!

I am <jealous> of Denzy's manipedi - I am desperately in need of the pedi part in particular.

<rofl>ing about all the Tesco carrier bag jokes hehe.

I can't believe there's only one get up to go - or two and then a very, verrrry early one before my flight on Sunday - I think my flight goes at 6.30 am so I'll be kicking my heels in Nice waiting for my royal patrons to arrive!

Everyone back to Rafa's for the footie second legs next week? I'm sure his suite will have a massive telly

Steady on there Woofie........I'm a bit worried you might spontaneously combust before Sunday.
