Tennis update

Looks like Rogelio is back in hot hot tennis action next week in Madrid. Madrid, spiritual home of those homoerotic Spanish tennis players, mmm.

It's been sad with no tennis. I'm pleased but a bit confused he didn't take a longer break though, considering what he said about wanting to recover. I'm sure he knows what's best for him though, right?

Well, I have to admit, that picture made me giggle.

What is the significance of Rafa wearing different colored shorts than the rest of them?

I think the slashy version might go a little something like this

LOL

That is all kinds of awesome. I like what you did there.

Also the exo-skeletoned Rafa and Roger are really neat pictures.

First time I saw those on the Mutua Madrileña site I kind of flipped.
(I saw one for the Djoker too. I just acted like it wasn’t there.)

Posit that louise and the AU Rogi/Rafa posse could know something the rest of us don’t.
Inquiring minds want to know. :D

LL - Thank you so much for your message/research. OT, know you enjoy your AU tennis, so when I saw the IHT article on the Masters, thought you might appreciate this

Ha! The Rafabot in action!

It's only Rafa who gets the cyber crotch-bulge then? Rogerbot looks a bit like a Ken doll in that area.

*rofl* It may be the angle. However, no one will ever accuse you of being unfocused on the most critical details of a ... presentation. :D

Ahhhhhh! I've never seen these before! Are these somewhere on the Mutua website? (I couldn't find them.)

I must say that I think Roger's suit is a bit more svelt. Rafa looks a bit bulky and where did his neck go?

*LOLOL* Gosh darn you slashers are hard to please. I’ve heard everything from “cracktastic” to “Ken doll” to “codpiece” to “gay Tron”. Now “no neck”. Glad I don’t work for the tournament. Also glad it’s the weekend. :D

SQUEEEE!

I haven't actually gotten to see Roger play tennis yet. Just the blurry, poor quality youtube stuff.

oh and one other thing, which is frustrating me much... I've been to the mutua website and seen the grid for the match schedules. But there were no names filled in, so how/when will I be able to see who plays who and when during those opening rounds?

Draw is Sunday. We don't find out until then.

Yes that's right. Wrong time zones so no sleep, tense stomach, shredded manicures. Adrenaline overload. Roger saying sadistic things like "I enjoy 5-set matches."

Have to love tennis fandom, no?

So, have you enjoyed watching Roger play? He was pretty awesome this tournament, even though he lost. I thought he looked so pretty too, in his beautiful black and white tennis duds. Sigh. I miss my Fedal final. :(

I really did enjoy watching the tournament. I left work early, 'sick', one day just so I could catch one of Rafa's matches. I was so hoping for the Fedal final. Oh well. Maybe in Shanghai!
