Praying so hard that Rafa will win Wimbledon and make his 19th grand slam title. So want him to surpass Federer. Great wedding present to himself and Ziska. Waiting with bated breath and excitement for Wimbledon .
Yes, I’m still celebrating Rafa’s 12th Coupe. And 18th Slam.
“On Nadal saying Thiem is a great example for him and younger players, Dominic commented:
‘It’s amazing to hear that from [Rafa] him because he’s exactly the same, such a fair athlete.
Always gives his best, I guess, every day in practice and in every match, of course. So it’s an example, and it’s very nice to hear that from him.’”

It’s quite obvious that Rafa and Dominic share a mutual admiration.
Yes super Rafa 27 degrees C 🌞Monday in Calvia 😀🌞 I told him I prefer him to play on the grass there and go to London at the last minute with Carlos under the sun. Queens was on his calendar for this week before but glad he décided not to go, make the most of the Med. 🌞🌴🍊🍋 Fiona in Paris
