Back to tennis. Random thoughts on qualies day 1. Anyone that thought Rafa was tired these days was mistaken. He put in 2-1/2 hours on the practice court. The players can hear your conversations while they're practicing, if you sit close. Some little kid says in a tiny kid voice "hi Rafa." Rafa immediately turns around and says "hi" back. I only mention it because the players almost always ignore the crowd conversations. Not Rafa. He's always gracious with the crowd and I've noticed many times particularly with younger kids. Vamos Rafa !
