  1. I must apologize as I was unaware that both Maria [England] and Suzie learned English as a foreign language. I learned French and Spanish in school so I get it.
    I am responding to Suzie’s incorrect interpretation of a three-sentence comment I made.

    Sentence [1]
    I believe, out of respect for Rafa, that fans here have decided not to dwell on Rafa’s hair.

    Explanation: To me, this is my feeling since there was little to no discussion about the rumors of Rafa’s hair. I did not speak for anyone but myself. Had I written, “Rafa’s fans have decided not to dwell on Rafa’s hair,” I would have been speaking for Rafa’s fans, which was not the case.

    Sentence [2]
    Rafa has yet to discuss, in public, this part of his head.

    Explanation: I think this is sufficiently self explanatory.

    Sentence [3]
    His nerves and confidence are up to discussion. [should be “for discussion.”]

    Explanation: this follows what Rafa has not discussed in sentence two, his hair. Therefore, this is an indication that Rafa has discussed his nerves and confidence. It was not necessary to write, “Rafa has discussed his nerves and confidence.”
    These are simply two things that I thought of at the moment. Rafa has discussed a plethora of subjects from anti-doping to his love of olives, and Iberian ham, the Olympics, you name it.

    I would never presume to be the spokesperson for Rafa’s fans nor advise them
    what part of Rafa or his life to discuss.

    I hope this clears things up for those of you who were lead to believe differently.

    RAFA ROCKS MONTE-CARLO

  2. I had the impression the crowd were booing the umpire who had made the mistake, not Rafa, who had done nothing wrong remember,Rafa got the big cheer as usual when he came out to play.
    We will see today when Rafa comes out…….
    Its sad that Tennis seems to be heading in the same direction as Football with unruly unsportsmanlike behaviour from the crowds, not so much the players..apart from the very few,
    It used to be the game for gentlemen and ladies to play, watch and enjoy..
