I have been enjoying reading n watching all the fun in the USA. It helps me forget the pain from a recent shoulder replacement! I turned 80 on 25/8/2015 n my family gave me a trip to Melbourne, where my son n family live, n buying me a ticket to see my dear RAFA play in the Aussie Open 2016! I have since asked Uncle Tony’s help to let me know when Rafael is playing as I am claustrophobic n cannot sit long cramped amidst crowds! Please help Uncle Tony when the time comes around. My email address is shirleytaya@icloud.com.au. Thanks. God bless. Vamos Rafael.
Your Aussie Abuela 😊😀😄😇
Fantastic photos! I’m sure it was fun especially with John Mac there too! Vamos Rafa!
I love the smile of Rafa. He is just the best <3 <3 <3
Wishing everybody success and good times in the big Apple! You all look terrific and it is one of the best places to visit. Vamos, Rafa! Can’t wait to see all the matches!
Sure looks like a lot of fun, glad to see RAFA just soooo happy and honestly enjoying the moment.
