Most of us would likely consider taking it easy for a week or two if recovering from a broken jaw - not this one

I think these are fair reasons.

Have not watched tennis for years too many brats and you can not watch womens tennis with all that moaning

Yeah, well...... these days it's about as close as I can get to hearing it, so.......

I like Rafa's grunt.

Yep agree and all his preps on serve too that most ppl dislike, although I do hate how he stands way back for return of serve!

He does it on return of serve as well

 

[cats_09]

Anyone else curious about why there was a need for this sign

I actually love it. And about those practices -- what we might call 'tics' -- he's actually pretty philosophical. They're not based on superstition he says, otherwise he would change them every time he loses. And they're not about being a creature of routine either as his life changes all the time and he doesn't do the same things in training as during a match. Instead, they are a way of tidying up his inner voices - interrupting that voice that says "I will lose" or the even more dangerous voice that says "I will win".

Well bugger - I was hoping the story behind it was going to be a bit more interesting than that

You've gotta ask whether that joke was worth the cost of laminating it.
