So Rafa may get to play on the hallowed turf of his beloved Real Madrid after all. No, not in the all white football kit, but maybe in the all white tennis kit.
Rumours are abound that Rafa will play Feds in honour of his Foundation in an exhibition match at the Bernabeu Stadium in July, following Wimbledon and before the Olympic Games. Apparently, there's still some negotiations to be had, so nothing's definite at all.
I know people get tetchy when exhos get mentioned - and I'm one of them - but an hour's flight to Madrid when he probably practices harder than what he will actually play in a match such as that, would it really be such a hardship? And equally, its going to difficult for him to find somewhere to practice, considering that the Olympics will be played on grass.
So for the moment, lets just watch this space ... but will 82,000 people turn up for a tennis match? Possibly, maybe ...
