Rotterdam

That was a difficult match to watch - turns out Rafa has some sort of knee injury, which got steadily worse throughout the match, until by the third set it was actually dreadful to watch because he could hardly get about the court. Sad. I think he kept playing out of respect for Mandy though-- it being the final-- because it would've pretty much robbed Mandy of the win if he'd retired. 6-3 4-6 6-0 to Mand.  

In the awards ceremony Mandy was very sweet and made Rafa smile in a goofy way behind his bunch of flowers. (Youtube of the trophy ceremony) He said:  

"Sorry to Rafa, I know he hurt his leg. It shows how good a player he is - he was still managing to beat me on one leg." 



Are they descended from puppies? Too cute.
