Tennis picspam

I've been posting these over on my tennis obsession tumblr, Swiss Navy, but morebliss thoughfully pointed out that means she doesn't get to see them on lj.

This about about two weeks worth of pics, with my random little comments added in. :D



Some of them you can click to embiggen:



Rafa is all 'omg yay!' about his horrible shirt. He's so adorable! And girly. I have a 'girly rafa' tag just for pictures like this.


I love his serious little face.


Roger striking a pose on clay. Note how the hair has arranged itself perfectly. I think he's trained it especially.


This is just the prettiest picture ever of Rafa, even if he has got something up his nose.


Rafa's breakfast!


This goes in my 'girly Rafa' tag.


But I mixed with him a little bit when I was working with Gael (Monfils) in the juniors. One day, in Roma, we met him, he was wearing a tracksuit with a big number 2. I told him, ‘This is not the right number’ and he answered laughingly, “It is, on clay, it’s the right number.” — Olivier Delaitre



Run awaaaay. Do not get the hair wet!


Gah, he's so pretty.

I wonder what Rafa is jigging about to?

“And though you turn from me, to glance behind

The Phantom of the Opera is thereeeeee…

Inside your mind!”

SO MANLY!

“Happy for the win, it’s always important to win, but I played terrible!!!”

Rafa’s facebook

Happy Mand! It’s probably better when he doesn’t smile. But he looks so sweet.


Body language <3




Uncle Toni’s tum tum! <3


Rafa’s first round opponent, Gianni Mina. Cuteness.


Touching shoulders at the Madrid trophy ceremony.


Nuclear Wintour watching Roger’s exhibition match in Paris.


Jo looking super suave!


It's important to keep your hands in lovely condition with plenty of iodine.


Roger and Ana - I find this picture strangely arousing. I'm probably wrong.


Roger and Novak - I find this picture strangely arousing. I'm probably wrong.



AND FINALLY


OMG! That is OUTRAGEOUS! As Robbie Keonig would say.

I clearly forgot to bookmark your tumblr and have thus spent the last few minutes happily perusing the backlog and ahhhhh such awesome *_* And the pics here! No words, only UNF can describe the last one and the gorgeousness of that Prettiest Picture of Rafa Ever! I actually like Rafa's current French Open tee though, it's so bright! YOU COULD NEVER LOSE HIM ANYWHERE (except maybe at a disco rave??). I hadn't had the chance to watch him in matches until now, and I'd almost forgotten about how entertaining the faces he makes are :D The broadcast we have also has commentators/clear Rafa fanboys ready with fun Rafa facts about how "fastidious" he is with his tennis bags and other things that are kind of hilarious.

I like your photos of pretty. #:)] Why is someone not Maymo or Roger putting their hands on our boy though?

I can tell I am going to love your tumblr! Is that really Rafa's breakfast?

No, no! It is the delicate way Roger's hand is resting on top of his, I think, and then something about the way he is holding the ball and racket, and also that look of intent. I have had a soft spot for them since the US Open.
