Unbelievable!

louiseluxRogelio won! ROGER IS STILL ROGER. Rafa said it yesterday, and Rafa is wise.
I still feel giddy. I've been rolling around in punditry all morning, in between work and staring at pictures of Roger kissing the giant silver cup. And the pictures of him rollling around on the court where you can halfway see up his shorts.
I really coud not love this fandom more. Apparently, Roger is going to Mallorca this weekendto visit Rafa attend the wedding of a friend. He said something extra special nice about Rafa too, in his post-match interview. Some unprompted gushing about his 'rival':
I mean, Rafa I always knew he was going to be a great player from the first moment I played him on. And I think Novak's done a incredible job of improving because I wasn't that impressed from Novak in the first place when I played him in Monaco. But Rafa, from the first moment, I knew he was going to be unbelievable.
Aww! Also, I could do an entire post on the oddities and trends of tennis press conference language. For tennis players, so much is 'unbelievable'. Rafa even admitted that he used the word too much. Roger says it all the time. Juan Martin Del Potro said it about fifteen times in one of his interviews. Copying the greats, clearly.
From Mandy's post match interview:
Q. Obviously you came here for the trophy. You're going away at 21 with a check for a million dollars. Does it seem slightly unreal?
ANDY MURRAY: That's about 10 pounds, isn't it?
Hahaha. I think I have to like him after all.

Date: 2008-09-10 03:09 am (UTC)Saw that too, did you? :D Amusing, isn't it? Delpito is definitely one to watch.
Also, think I put this in the wrong place earlier - definitely starting to like your boy.
Up to #4, no mean feat. Dry sense of humor, sexy voice. Still needs a shave and new haircut - but I'm sure at some point he'll ask Rogi for recommendations. Clearly he's falling under his spell, as we all do.
And finally, your fic with emungere?
Adorable doesn't cover it. I'm already several reads in. Lovely.

Thank you for your comment about the fic! Several reads in-- that is a lovely thing to know. :)
