Rafa reveals the US Open kit ...


Rafa revealed his anticipated "NYC Yellow Cab" shirt to the waiting masses in a specially organised promotional event by Nike. At the event, Rafa hit some shots and cut the breeze with Serena Williams and John McEnroe ... oh, and DickFeds was there.

DickFeds seemed to make a solitary appearance and just sneaked out the back door when it was all over.

Here's how a spectator (who had originally turned up to see DF) reported on it - with a couple of my own observations:-

"Back to Rog ... after spending some time talking to Johnny Mac and playing with the kids, Rog left and sneaked out the back ... I think Roger didn't leave out the front path because it would have been pandemonium".

Oh so he would like to believe.

As opposed to Rafa ...

"When he (Rafa) was done and he left the player's tent, security was guiding him out towards his car pick up and instead, he made it a point to come over to where I happened to be, along with other fans ... I was right in front of Rafa and he was so great with the fans, despite getting absolutely mobbed. He was the only player to do this all day and it was a great thing to see."

Rafa is absolute class. A giver on the court, and a giver off it. Here's what that spectator enjoyed ...
