Rafa is fit

Rafa has said today he feels 100% fit going into the US Open! Excitement!

I have sort of been assuming that he'll be out by the semi finals at most, but now maybe I wonder if he has been downplaying his chances a little or a lot, being cautious. It is a Rafa-like thing to do, as Roger points out. I'd love Rafa to win it and get his career slam. I'd just be so happy for him.

""For me to have the title here doesn't change my career, but if I had the title here, finish the cycle, it would be unbelievable," Nadal said."

It would be unbelievable. Well, we shall see in a couple of weeks time. It all kicks off tomorrow. Yay the tennis!

Rafa Nadal, massive fan

Just another day in the life of top tennis star and massive musicals fan, Rafa Nadal.

Rafa Nadal, a massive fan of musicals was invited to attend on Saturday night the famous Broadway musical Mamma Mia.

The production company and the theatre were delighted to have Rafa accept the invitation, especially knowing how busy he is, but also keeping in mind that it’s always in his plans to attend a musical every year. In 2008, he watched the famous Phantom of the Opera and this year, he was lucky enough to see Mamma Mia, one of the most popular musicals around the world.

Unfortunately for Rafa, he was late to the show given that he had to attend an ATP Player Council meeting. He only got there in time to watch the second act and was a bit disappointed for missing the rest of show, especially because he was really enjoying it. He will definitely try (if his schedule allows it) to watch the whole show again this week.

After a delightful evening, he was invited backstage to meet the singers and dancers of the prestigious and magnificent musical, giving him the opportunity to thank them for allowing him to come say hi, and also apologize for being late to their show.
