  1. Rafa you sure deserve being number one and showing the younger generation what it is all about.
    The multitude of things that go to make up a world wide tennis player, and their personal and human characteristics, aaaaaaaaaaaand you have them all.

    Love and prayers,

  2. Rafa congrats ,yes you deserve this Reward to be number 1 vamossssssssssssss CHAMP remember thes year is your 2017 ,fans for ever 🎾🎾🎾🎾👍👍👍👍😇😇😇😇🇺🇸❤️

  3. I’m too are Happy that Nadal will be no. 1 again but I would prefer him to be in perfect health condition both fysically and psychologically . With these on place , winning tournaments will be very much easier for him . The best of luck on your next tournament Rafa 👍

  4. Delighted for Rafa to return to Number 1. He has earned it. Great champion, great role model, grounded, humble and what is wrong with being ” gorgeous” .Even better in the flesh, met him in Barcelona and he is so handsome and such character in that face. He has it all and the support of millions.
    Vamos Rafa.

    • Some people are just jealous. The nerve to tell another fan HOW to judge Rafa. And then the peanut gallery chimes in. Hhmmppfff

      RAFA ROCKS #1

  5. Do not be too humble-you deserve the No.1 ranking- as Agassi wrote-to win Roland Garros once is considered an outstanding achievement. Winning it 10
    times as you have done just makes us go crazeee🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀🙀Enjoy the achievement and good luck in Cincy❤️

  6. Rafa – So gorgeous, humble, nice and sweet as always 😍😃
    The best of luck in Cincinnati Champ #1 🤗🥇🍀😘

    VAMOOSS!! 🎾💪🏼

    • rafantastic,

      stop juding rafa on his looks and start judging him on his results. Nadal needs to win this tournament in order to go to new york with confidence

      • C’mon mjus, don’t you think that’s somewhat harsh? Rafantastic is one of the least controversial members here. AND THE KINDEST. There is no judgment in her comment as she stated the obvious. And then she wished Rafa well.

        I find her posts the sweetest and prettiest, and I enjoy them immensely. If she wishes to praise Rafa’s attributes instead of bloviating about what Rafa SHOULD do, it’s her prerogative.

      • Say what!!?? – I’m really astounded by that comment 😳

        Thank you so much, Margo – for your very nice words and approval 🤗🌸

        RAFA TOTALLY ROCKS #1🎾💪🏼

      • Thank you Rafantastic but please don’t feel you need anyone’s approval. Your posts speak for themselves; you root for Rafa and choose to express kind words toward him always. I was happy there was only one from the peanut gallery who chimed in but sad that anyone would support a bully statement such as was directed at you out of the blue; telling you how to “judge” Rafa.

        Fans will express what and how they feel about Rafa, a different player, or a win or a loss in their own sui generis way. That is part of what makes this site really nice.

        Just keep up your pretty Rafa posts and support him in any way you choose to.

        Some fans, such as yourself, are non-judgemental and that has to be respected, too.

      • Corretion:
        “Say what, mjus!!?? – I’m really astounded by that comment 😳”

      • 👏🏻 Margo, fully agree with your very nice comment – thank you for your support 🌼🤗
        Your right – it’s all about showing respect 🙆🏼 And don’t worry, I’ll keep supporting Rafa in my one personal way – nothing can stop me from that 💁🏼💕

        RAFA ROCKS!! 🎾💪🏼😍🍀

        (By the way – am watching the rerun of the Nadal – Gasquet match right now. It was shown at night time here i DK so unfortunately I couldn’t see it live. – Very enjoyable match to watch – Rafa’s playing amazing 🎾💪🏼😍)

      • You’re just too cute! I read “my one personal way” and thought you used the word “one” to emphasize your unique way of supporting Rafa. Then I read your corrected “own” personal way. To me, both could be used. I am dying to take a graduate level English class.

        As I had hoped, Rafa probably had an “off” day. Glad you could get to see the Gasquet match. Enjoy and keep cheering our champ. Fingers crossed for Cincy.

      • Correction: “…my OWN personal way” 😉
        (RNF I need an “edit button” 😄)

      • – And I bet you’ld do awesome at a gratuate level English class, Margo 🤓📚👍🏻
        Fingers crossed for Rafa 🤞🏻🍀😊😘

      • I’ve read two reviews this far today about Rafa and his journey to the Cincy final. These two journalists talked about Rafa and only Rafa, not comparing him to anyone else. They are obviously looking at Rafa in a non-judgemental manner. One did mention that Rafa did not take advantage of his opportunity to become No. 1 at Montreal. But that was it.

        I have eyes only for Rafa. LOL He will have wins and he will have loses. I hope he is back on a winning streak. One reporter mentioned that being numero uno again has probably given him a good boost. And we know that EVERYONE is going to try to bring him down BECAUSE he is No. 1.

        Rafa, HOLD ON TO #1 AND DON’T LET GO.

        RAFA ROCKS AS NO ONE ELSE CAN
