Antithesis ...


Lol.  I know you've probably all seen these pictures by now.  Press day with Smugley's attention one way whilst Rafa's is another and it makes them look like you could drive a truck between them and that they're blatantly ignoring each other ...

A picture says more than a thousand words, eh??  Even if it's staged.

But whatever the angle, the first picture totally sums it up for me. I first copped onto Rafa as he shocked the hell out of Smugs in the semi-final of the French Open in 2005 - I've told you that a million times. And besides the Rafa victoreee, what I loved the most was that he was just the total opposite of what Federer was and what he's portrayed as being.  So on the one hand we have the stiff-as-a-board, preppy toff, seemingly quaffing from a champagne glass ... whilst on the other, we have a relaxed, happy bunny in his short shorts, flashing the thigh porn and snorting with laughter with his buddy as he chats on the phone.

Love you Rafa. Thanks for saving us from that ... and never, ever change.

  1. You seriously have a real problem. Can't you just enjoy all great tennis players? Why must everything be seen from your Fed vs Rafa shades? They are two great players who have a professional respect for one another. They don't have to go to tea parties together or have the exact same personality. Perhaps you should be as gracious as your hero whose ass your lips are glued to and have a certain amount of respect for Federer, one of the greatest players to ever play the game. Perhaps a more mature outlook will help you deal with Nadal's obvious troubles at this time? ;)

    Grow up.
