Happy is needed.

Fanatic Omes:

It's been an awful couple of days for many. We need happy times. Thus:

Baldiciano

Fanatic Omes:

I suppose I should post the photo of bald FerVer, but I don't wannnnnt to.

 

Meh, maybe it'll grow on me. Pun intended.

I Got Minez! (Rafa's book that is.)

Fanatic Omes:

Yes folks, it's happening! I've already done a fangirl and pre-ordered mine. The book is aptly named: Rafa. It comes out in August and Rafito promises to kindly release the first chapter soon for our reading pleasure.

 

I wonder what on earth Rafa could be capable of unveiling in an entire book's-worth considering he's quite the private hombre. Gives a whole new meaning to "we will see what's goin on", no?

Readme

Fanatic Omes:

• Rafa talking food. I have to embarrassingly confess that I once used the recipe from Rafa’s 2010 It Must Be Love video to make pasta con gambas. (Yeah...) It turned out horrible. I didn’t use Spanish olive oil though so...
• Rafa bringing the LOLZ in his top 10 funniest interviews. I will NOT say "he's so cute" again. Oops!
• CNN credits Borg for changing the game. Fairy nuff.
• The GB vs Hungary Davis Cup tie is to be played in Scotland again. Andy you’d better cry harder this time. I want to see saliva!
• The ATP’s ‘Hard Court Heroes’ – noticeably absent – Rafa *sniff*
• Let’s be real, the ultimate tennis player is Nole* (...for now... >: ) )
• Loving this rally.
• Lena D looking ravishing in a beautiful ball of fluff at her wedding. If you weren’t there, do not fret; just journey back to Alla Kudryavtseva's twitter timeline that day.
• She will always be number 1 in our hearts. Kournikova will never not be relevant in tennis for a non-tennishead. Still haven't forgiven her for bagging Enrique.
• The fact that there are no top Afro tennis players is major sadz for me as Africa is my muthaa-land. Booooo!
• Things to do with your tennis balls when it’s not summer and you refuse to play in the snow again.

*I hope I'm not coming across as a Nole hater atm, but as someone who thinks Rafa is literally the best thing since organic, seedy, sliced bread, you see my predicament...

Pico On Camera

Fanatic Omes:

Juan "Pico" Monaco lovingly treated the tennis twitterverse with an 18-minute live stream. Conclusion: He is adorbz. With a 'z'.

What we learn from the stream:

• It's Pico's first time live-streaming
• Pico will not dance for his live audience
• Pico says Rafa will join twitter
• Pico believes Rafa will break twitter
• Pico shouldn't even think of cutting his hair

To watch the stream vid, click here.

For a translation of the vid, follow @onthegotennis on twitter - she'll publish the best parts.

CAIO GRAZIE.

Cool Wimbledon Movie Posters

This is NOT one of the posters. I am currently bored at work. Clickety click the linkety link.

Fanatic Omes:

How much awesome do these Wimbly posters contain? A lot. A lot of awesome.

DROOL (Rafa playing golf!)

Fanatic Omes:

Rafa is playing a mini-golf tournament in Mallorca. Dun he look pweedy? And so dapper! If Rafa moves onto golf after his retirement, now wouldn't that just be something? I wouldn't have to pick up the pieces of my soul till much later.
