I would LOVE to see Rafa’s face if he reads/hears this. I can totally see his left eyebrow going ALLLL the way up and then he’ll let out a “WHOT?”

*laughs* But I can totally see what he means. Rafa is freaking adorable as a human. Can you iamgine if he were in cat or puppy form? He’d make the cutest hyperactive pet!

As for the whole adoption idea, I mean, I’d make a PERFECT candidate for adopting Rafa. Just sign on the dotted line baby and he’s alllll miiiinne.

*coughs*

I’ll take care of him. I promise.

Hehe, I love that he openly describes himself as a “Rafa Fanboy”. It kind of reminds me of that american golfer that was haging out with Rafa because he just *had* to meet him, and he was on video gushing about Rafa and going on and on about his awesomeness.

*grins* I’m not complainin’.

I really don’t see anything wrong with his public declaration of love for Rafa. In fact, didn’t the MC during the AO09 ceremony proudly declare that if there was one international athlete the whole of Australia would adopt, it’d be Roger? And that was during a trophy presentation! I guess these guys just can’t hold back the love when it comes to Rafa and Roger.

I second your notion about keeping giving him a thumbs-up for keeping Indian Wells in Cali. While it isn’t exactly MY back-yard, it’s so close to where I live that it may as well be in another country! Are you going to see the tennis live? Will you be there for the HFH2 exho?

But I support ANYTHING that keeps/brings tennis to the US of A. It is NOT a dying art!
