Rafa on his "grilled steak shorts"

I've usually never been too crazy about the choices Nike makes for Rafa, but this time seems the shorts seem to be a real loss leader.


Check out Rafa's ambivalent response at about 1:06.



By all accounts, the Rafa we know and love is back, hitting an aggressive reverse forehand, and beat Super Mario 2 & 2. Still crossing my fingers for a Fedal final.

In other news, Vika and Splits were upset. Perhaps this is Sunshine's tournament to lose, but there are still a lot of ball bashers waiting to add the bad pusher to their scalp list.
