As I've said, I'm really emotional today thinking about Rafa and this final, so I posted a comment on his blog which got published, and basically contains all my feelings and all the things I want to say to him. I don't know if he reads the comments, but if he does, I hope he gets the depths of feeling that we as his fans feel for him.
Hola Rafa!!
Firstly, I want to say how very, very proud of you we are that you have fought your way through the battles that life presented to you in the past 12 months with regard to your personal life and your professional career. And here you are again Rafa ... back where you belong in the final of a Grand Slam.
This is the place where you first made your name, where you came of notice to us and it proved the launch pad for all the great things that were to come for you. And then strangely again ... it also became the place where you first started to lose all that you had gained.
If this term "destiny" is to be believed, and if you also believe that what goes around comes around ... then this is place for you. However, you're not into that stuff, are you Rafa? You are just gracious and wise, and apply yourself to each match at a time. And it doesn't become about 'revenge' or 'destiny' or any of that nonsense. Its about you, being in the final at Roland Garros, and having your shot at becoming the Champion of Roland Garros again ... totally regardless of who you face on the other side of the net.
You have graciously said that whether you win or your lose, it is not going make a big impact on your life. And in the humble way you live it ... I believe you.
However Rafa, just be safe in the knowledge that we, your fans, wish you the very best of luck tomorrow. We shall be cheering your every great shot, and winching at your every error. We will be hiding behind the couch and watching between our fingers. And regardless of the result, we will forever support you.
You have been wonderful to us in the spirit that you have written this blog and answered our questions and once again, given something of yourself back to us as we go on this small journey with you.
With my whole heart I want you to be the French Open Champion tomorrow. Try your best and good luck!!!
