Serena tweeted: my bootie sibling we see cheek to cheek😂. (Under which pic is obvious😇).
Sorry Serena I spelled your name wrong… Thought you and Venus looked so pretty and Rafa looked very happy between the two of you !
Rafa is a wonderful person in every way; can’t think of ANYONE who holds a candle to him. I’m a New Yorker, now living in VA, more’s the pity, because a knee injury keeps me from visiting NY while Rafa is appearing at the USOPEN! I wish him the BEST for the tournament and the rest of the year!!! VAMOS RAFA!!!!
Rafa good luck in New York .this time I’m going to see you .vamossssssssssss you can do it.🎾🎾🎾🎾🎾🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍
Waouhhhh ! Rafa is very very beautiful !👍❤❤
It’s just a saying, usually a joke when a women is stood in between two men . It’s said as friendly banter not in a mean way . I swapped it around with Rafa in between two women they could have been anyone no offence rewards Serena and Venus .
Thank you for explaining. I hope you can understand my being perplexed as I don’t ever recall having heard that expression. We here in the states usually associate a rose with things feminine.
I learned a new expression today.
RAFA ROCKS
You seem to have a problem with whatever I say lately Margo
Not at all. In no way would I intentionally insult a fellow member. I always give credit when credit is due and I give an opposing opinion when I disagree with a comment. Please don’t think for a moment that I see a target on your back.
I just thought that comparing the Williams sisters to “two thorns” was not nice at all. You did say it was a joke but I failed to see humor in that characterization. I am not familiar with that expression so I figured you would supply an explanation for the uninitiated me. To be clear, I am no Serena or Venus fan but I fail to see how they could be compared to thorns when thorns are never referred to in a positive light.
Rafa you look like your having a great time in New York before the hard work begins next week in the US Open. Do those William sisters realise how lucky they are , a rose between two thorns (only joking) . The older Rafa gets the more handsome he gets, if that’s possible
I was truly taken aback by your joke. “A rose between two thorns?” I don’t get the comedy in that.
Margo… It’s British humor, it comes off sarcastic at times… Don’t think Maria meant to hurt anyone’s feelings! ( have an english father so I know how it can be misunderstood!) Serna looked so pretty…love her hair straightened, I know the William sisters are very fond of Rafa…as most women are!
Hiiii Souix, missed ya on this post…
I am a BIG fan of British humor and before questioning the humor of Rafa being “a rose between two thorns” I did try to make sense of it. I mean who doesn’t like a good laugh.
RAFA ROCKS NEW YORK
Great photos. Vamos Rafa <3
I just love seeing him happy.
RAFA fan forever

Welcome to NY Rafa and enjoy your stay. Looking forward to the US Open and great tennis.
I PROTEST THE INCLUSION OF THE PHOTO WITH THAT DISGRACED FEMALE TENNIS PLAYER ON THIS POST!
Rafa is the rock star of tennis. Vamos at the USO!
Lovely to see Rafael having such fun. Always draws the crowds. Looking well with his New York haircut. Looking handsome as ever, now to the serious business.
New haircut for Rafa – he looks great as always
