hey, i just read a news thingy that Rafa said Djoko would probably pass him and he's knows that and realizes he'd just have to work harder or something. I didn't realize that Djoko will pass him. Boo.

Sorry, if this has been covered already.
this yr's wimbledon will make a lot of things clear.......the points difference now btn rafa n djoko is 300 odd n djokovic is seemingly closing in on that 2nd position.......we wud love to see rafa becoming no.1 this yr. without losing his no.2 position. don't we?

I don't know about the "we" but nothing would make me happier than to see Rafa be #1!

He needs to win over Djoker and Fed on hc to be a legitimate #1, hummmm.

Rafa has a tiny tear in his right thigh muscle, his doctor said treatment with anti-inflammatories and 48 hours of total rest (which, in fact, is what he had planned to rest, anyway), and then gradual return to practise and playing. Not much time to spare, obviously, but it didn't sound too worrisome.

Rafa was interviewed on Spanish radio on Sunday. It's in Spanish, obviously, but it's lovely, he sounds relaxed and happy, so to those who are interested, it's here:

Thanks, Tuulia! He's amazing, so cute. I can't imagine how anyone could be more comfortable in a presser... good grief, he bites his nails, burped...

I noticed when they were preparing the ceremonial part of Hamburg, he was sitting on the bench just sort of sprawled out, legs everywhere... completely relaxed.

Roger was sitting up straight, very stoic; of course, I'm sure the loss hurt him and he was trying to maintain a sportsmanlike demeanor.

I hope that leg is 100% for him at RG.

Vamos, Rafa

Hercules! *hug*

He had MRI scan on Monday. What he has has been called minor tear or small pull/strain, was ordered 2 days of complete rest and anti-inflammatories + physiotherapy. Returned to training yesterday (Wednesday), starting gently, practically no running said Toni. He also said it's nothing serious, and they're not worried because it's almost a week before Rafa's first match at RG. He has requested not to start on Sunday, but on Monday or Tuesday. He was expected to fly to Paris on Thursday morning, so I assume he's there already.

do you have a mole in Rafa's group ? you have better information than the CIA... any chemical weapons around ?

actually, he maybe picking his arse to contain chemical weapons...

Tuulia · « **Reply #210 on:** May 22, 2008, 09:25:33 AM »

Dear Batman, I believe you are suggesting I add sources to posts consisting of information rather than personal opinion?

Apologies, then, you're making a valid point. If you were just asking, then no, but I can read Spanish, which in matters concerning Rafa helps a lot, plenty of newspapers available via net. And interviews, press conferences... and I've got TVEi (= television española internacional) available at home and watch their sports news everyday. So.

Oh and it's official, Rafa HAS arrived in Paris.

Thanks, Tuulia, for the Rafa news!

It's great having people on this board that can speak other languages and get us lots of information; live all over the world and get the news from their part of the globe and let us know what's going on; are great tennis players and can help to inform about the mechanics/technicalities.

Can't wait to "Vamos, Rafa" very soon.

Thank you!

so our king has arrived in paris n is ready to finish off the formalities.......then let's get ready for the runner-up trophy race. this time there r potentially two contenders for the runner-up trophy unlike last yr, which makes the race-to-get-undressed-by-the-king-in-the-final very interesting........federer's had that 'privilege' 2 times.let's see who that 'lucky' one is gonna be this time around!!!!!!
