“I know that here (at the US Open) a quarter-final or a semi would be a very good result but I am coming to win, when I retire nobody will remember if I get to quarters or semis.“

After defeating Nicolas Kiefer 6-0 3-6 6-3 6-4 in a tight match, bumblebee!Rafa will now play fellow Spaniard Nicolas Almagro.

I wish he could also play Nicolas Lapentti and Nikolay Davydenko just for the lolz.

Hoodies = Badassery

From Hypebeast:

Seven of Nike’s most exciting athletes, including Maria Sharapova, Sofia Boutella, Alexandre Pato, Rafael Nadal, Manny Pacquiao, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James bring a fresh new look to fans in a photographic series created to showcase the “AW77” hoodie on October 1st. The photography, created in partnership with the creative team of David Sims and Karl Templer presents Nike Sportswear’s in it’s true essence: off-court and on athletes.

Pictures from the hot Spaniard during the photoshoot from Slamxhype.

And the outcome + silver headband girl being a thug/gansta/playa/tomboy.

Sharapova’s making of pics can be found here. I lol’d.

Bumblebee!Rafa defeats Kate Moss 6-2 6-2 6-3 without much trouble and is into the second round.

This makes me a happy, happy girl.

Two things that made me lol today

1)

From the Google ads at the sidebar. Which, btw, if you like the blog, click on them. Not only they provide such lolz as “IS RAFA A CHRISTIAN?” but they also give me money to pay off the host. Two for one, y’all.

2)

Nole “rapping” for the Bryan Bros‘ “album”. And the video of such ridiculous/amazing thing:

Guess we have a new Vincent Spadea on the tour, u guise.

Happy thoughts, happy thoughts

Rafa lost last night to Delpo in two sets. Why am I posting this piece of serious news where no mockery can come out of it? I’m being positive.

No sane Rafa fan expected the boy to defend his title after being out for over two months. He won a (full) match and played a very competitive first set against one of the best players on hardcourts so far this season. Baby steps, eh? From his presser:

Q. The knees are fine?

RAFAEL NADAL: Yeah, the knees are very good, so that’s very good. Yeah, I must be very happy about this tournament, yeah.

And to reassure us “everything’s going to be okay”:

RAFAEL NADAL: No, I’m very happy and everything was very positive today.

With this loss and Mandy moving to the semifinals after defeating a brainless Tsonga, this gives us a slight change on the rankings. Rafa will move down to the number three position and the British will move up. As much as I like Mandy, I don’t like the fact now we can have a Federer-Nadal slam semifinal. Remember the last two finals with them? Epic. Well, the important thing is to everyone to be healthy, right? Right?? Take care, boys.

After pretty in pink, Rafa is now beautiful in blue

So we didn’t have enough time to enjoy the see-through sleeveless shirt before Rafa and Old Dude lost. That’s true. But hey, at least we have another gorgeous polo from Rafa. Good enough for me.

Rafa plays fellow Spaniard Ferrer tonight at 7pm Montréal time. Last time he played a professional singles match was in Roland Garros. So, let’s hear all the Rafa fans excited! Who cares if he’ll most likely lose, at least the boy is back (click for LAWLZ).

In case someone wants extra eyecandy, check out the pics of him practicing in Montréal + his first doubles match over at NadalNews. And in case you also want to laugh at with Rafa, check out the making of pics from his new commercial. If I hadn’t already wanted to visit Ibiza and the other islands, we could say that would seal the deal. Oh, the lolz.

ETA: There are hi-res pictures at iheartrafa here. Honestly, it’s even funnier when bigger.

SHOUT OUT: Ever wondered if there was a Fierce Tennis look alike for all the players I dislike? The answer is yes! My friend made a blog. You can check out posts on Sodermort, Federer and the whole shebang at Your Volleys Suck now. With gifs and loltastic pictures.

Rafa/Old dude = New doubles GOATs?

It’s very rare for me to follow doubles. But I can’t help but do it this time. Not only it’s Rafa‘s baby steps back to the tour but it’s also him playing with his 40-year-old coach. Seriously….lolwut?

Today, Nadal/Roig played and defeated Novak Djokovic and Dusan Vemic 7-5, 6-4. From people’s reports (and smiley!Rafa pics), he was very relaxed and in a good mood. Even tried a trick here and there. I very much approve this “no pressure” thing going on with him.

P.S. His shirt is white. And see-through. You can see his NIPPLES. *giggles like a maniac 12-year-old*

LOL… wut.

I was all ready to come here and post about today’s finals — I even had the pic ready. I watched both Delpo‘s and Flavia‘s, so I was prepared to make some insightful comment about the tennis and how it was hilarious to see Delpo going all “wheee” to Roddick’s face. I mean, it’s not the dude’s fault. Roddick challenged the championship point winner and went to the net. When the call remained, they were facing each other. Delpo celebrated. It made me laugh. I was also going to talk about how Sam is an idiot, really. But I’ll skip that and congratulate Flavia. But before I came here to post, I took a quick look at my feeds and realized that there are other absurd, ridiculous stuff happening on the sport that are more worth mentioning than those stuff.

Such as, when Tennis Forum comes up with cracktastic threads like Lesbians Are The Biggest Chokers On Tour. LOL wut. Examples? Momo, Kuz, Sharapova. Since we’re at it, didn’t Sam lose a match against Serena this year in Australia having match points? Or was it last year? Whatever, it happened. And does this means maybe Kiri is a lesbian? Or Lena? I don’t think that theory makes sense.

And onto more stuff that makes me “LOLWUT”, why oh why is Rafa playing doubles in Montréal with his 40-year-old coach? Am I the only one that finds that disrespectful to the tournament and to the other players? I love the boy to death but this might be taking the whole “tournament as practice” a little too far. There were probably other players, maybe even doubles specialists, that wanted in. But again, the organizers probably don’t care. They just want to sell tickets… even if it’s tickets for a fancy practice session.

Amusing pissed!Federer for some more “LOL… WHAT”.

And when Rafa does it, it’s ~*magic*~:

Rafa! With a racquet! REJOICE.

I don’t care if I should be focusing on the rest of the LA tourney, I’m still mourning Vika/Lena V./Caro/Kiri. Why would someone take all of them from me in the same day? Why, tennis gods? What did I do? I can’t believe Bepa is still alive though. That makes me happy. And the Rads (BB ULA!!!!). So yeah, I’ll focus on that later. For now, let’s focus on the real happy times, yah? My boy in Montreal!

Considering how much I’ve missed this boy, I think I can safely perv over his arms. Because, omg, look at those.

And he’s still looking adorable as ever. Awwwwnn. *grins*

Look! There’s his smile. Happyhappyhappy! :D

This was probably pointess if don’t love Rafa. And if you don’t love him… dear goodness, what is wrong with you?
