Rafa opened today the kia fleet drive at the Australian open! What a huge honor for our dear Rafa!🤩😃🚘🚀🎾
Wishing for a favorable and manageable draw for Rafa on Thursday at 2023 Australian open draw ceremony! Rafa sure is training very hard and hope he goes all the way to win the title in 2023 again! 🎾🏆☀️💪🍀🏅
The draw is at 3pm local time Thursday. That means the late Wednesday evening for us in the USA. Looking forward to seeing Rafa’s path to a 3rd Australian open title.
Rafa has a good chance in my (positively biased) view.
Rafa and Iga and others are supposed to appear in a benefit this week for the people of Ukraine.
Does anyone know when that will be and whether it will be shown on Tennis Channel in the USA? Thanks.
Vamos Rafa!
Hi David,
