Ahh.. si. Picking up where I left off ..

  ..regarding Mel Content walking een on my party.. all decked out in hees usual sourball attitude.  If you don't stop by here every day you probably don't know that Mel is my handler.  He calls the shots.  And no, NO, I did not like having to go undercover with Christopher Chance, the Human Target, at this time.  But I am on-call basis with the agency.And I'd miss most of my Ruffie's matches if Chance didn't wrap things up in an hour when he works with me..  as things pan out now, I'll manage, just barely, to see the final at FO!

Oh, and another thing, you should know Rafa knows nothing about my work as an undercover agent.  Nothing.  Nada.  Zada. Zero. Zilch.  By the way - did I mention Rafa doesn't know N.O.T.H.I.N.G. about my being an undercover agent ?!?  So don't go shootin' yer big mouth off about my extracurricular activities, k!?  Think you get thees picture now, si?

Federer eats dust as clay court King Rafa Nadal wins Madrid Open.. \o/

CELEBRATE! CELEBRATE! DAAAANCE TO THE MUUUUUSIC!

Rafa avenges last year's final defeat to Roger Federer by a stellar performance at thees Madrid Open; 6-4 7-6 (7/5) een 2 hours and 11minutes of rarified prowess, giving Rafa record-breaking 18th ATP Masters crown and further extending hees astounding successful run on clay for 168 wins out of 174 matches since 2005!


Not only is Ruffie in his best form after defeating (ok, pummeling Dasco profusely) fellow countryman Fernando Verdasco 6-0 6-1, Ruffie won his 6th consecutive Monte Carlo Masters title! Aaaaand, it marks the end of an 11-month title drought for heem; last trophy won was at the Rome Masters last year. Maybe Rafa's fans can build a ramp from last year's Rome Masters win over Rafa's drought to the Monte Carlo Masters win. Like thees drought didn't even exist, get it? Whaddyasay?  Whatever..  Without a doubt, my Ruffie has come back from the Dread! 


It was a fierce battle between thees top superstars.  Even though the 2nd set went to tie-break and eet looked like Fed came out of thees gate swinging weiners, Ruffie hit back long, deep and continuously to secure thees set, won thees match and the 39th title of his career.  


For better reviews, snarky jive, and expertise on all-things-tennis, y'all have to finger over to RiCH's supercalifragilRiCHisticTENNISalidocious blog Down the Line!


Vamose, Rafa!  Rafa Rules!
RiCH rules, too!

Roddick bests my Raffie!

Hola!

Waaaaah! Waaaaah! Sez somebodies. You'll never see or hear Rafa go Waaaaah! He's a gracious loser. The man is the epitome of Grace. Some have eet and some don't. More Don'ts than Dos, amigo. See? Rafa has class. We have a Superman, Superdog, Superduperpooperscooper, but now we have [drum roll pleeze] Superclass!! And it ees Raffie!

The way Contessa ChiChi sees it, Andy Roddick has upped his game - a lot - over this year. Roddick is back! He's destined to whoop some asset belong to other baller, si? Too bad Roddick play aggressively and manage to zap Raffie out of hees comfort zone using different strategy. Roddick lost to Raffie the last 3 matches they played. Today, Andy say, 'Enough! Today ees my day and my win!' Good for you, Andy! Someday, at sometime, somewhere you might be member in my Raffie's league.

You see, amigos, Raffie is about sportzmansheep. He's not about.. smashing ees racket.. or throwing eet down court.. or.. hitting himself over the head until blood squirts out all over hees handsome hair.. or outfit. No. Rafa ees about Discipline, Determination and Dignity. How can he be any other way than perfect? After all, he is with moi! Ta Ta!

[Psssst. Andy. Come closer. [Andy give Contessa ChiChi hees ear.] Andy. I theenk Rafa let you win. He like you.]

O, that naughty boy, Agassi!

Hola! Contessa ChiChi ees back from spanking Andre! Ee's such a cute nincompoop, tho ..but ee's a bad, bad boy. Bad, Aggi! .. baaaad! *spank* Take that! *spank* Take thees! And, thees!! *spank* *spank* But, come on, amigos. Eet's been eons since he was bad! Let bygones be bygones. Thees Andre do so much for so many people and chilldrun now - so I went easy on'm! Now back off on thees Agassi thing! OK!

SCREEEECH!!!!!

I JUST HEARD ABOUT AG!!!

Rafa Nadal defeated by Marin Cilic in semi-final

Ai-yi-yi! Hola! Amigos, Raffie's match with Cilic in thees semi-final didn't go too well for Rafa; he got run over by thees Cilic-train in an hour and some. Rafa jumped hees rails on the 6-1 6-3 line. Vaca santa! And just so you know - Contessa ChiChi was no where near Rafa during thees match! So don' blame me! I'm not bringing heem bad luck. Maybe later, but not now, ees good? I theenk Rafa is still trying to find hees game after being slowed down by his knee and tummy injuries. He has such a strong competitive nature and doesn't like to be away from thees matches for too long. Now I have to ask you, does Rafa seem cranky to you on court? I hear some commenters say Rafa (and Andy Roddick, too) is complaining about the length and pace of the ATP season and suggest that ballers need an off-season to recharge their batteries, wouldn't you think?. What's wrong weeth that? I think they have a point. And hey you! Rafa doesn't make any excuses for losing thees match. In fact, he said of Cilic:

"Cilic is good, is young and has a very good serve but if you are losing 6-1 6-3 there are a lot of things you are doing wrong - mentally I probably wasn't there*."

Rafa is not going to let thees loss get in his head. No, he is going to go forward and play hees best and put hees losses behind him. Rafa is quite mature and centered for hees age and thees lost matches will not do a number on him. He will be back as Numero Uno very soon. His injuries are a product of the past. So, get over eet and stop needling my Rafa or I will have to get up into your face. And,trust me, you don't want Contessa ChiChi to lose her cool. *Rafa must stop thinking about me during matches, no?

RAFA NADAL Nominated for LAUREUS Award - For WORLD Sportsman of the Year

My one-of-a-kind sports marvel, Rafa Nadal, has been nominated for the Laureus World Sports Award for winning the French Open, Wimbledon and Olympic gold medal to become tennis Numero Uno! Camino por recorrer, Rafa! Si, glad you asked. The sport's world has its own equivalent to the film industry's Academy Awards, in the annual Laureus World Sports awards ceremony. Sports media from 112 countries make the nominations and the winners will be selected in a secret ballot by 46 supersportstars, members of the Laureus World Sports Academy, including John McEnroe, Nadia Comaneci and Jack Nicklaus. The Awards are usually presented at an annual Awards Ceremony but this year's ceremony has been scrapped because of the global financial crisis, so the winners of this year's Laureus World Sports Awards will be receiving their Awards individually at a series of presentations during May and June.

"It seemed to us, with so many people suffering, that this was the wrong time to be staging this event," Edwin Moses, chairman of the Laureus World Sports Academy, said in a statement. "This is the responsible thing to do."

Nadal goes up against the likes of :

• Usain Bolt from Jamaica, the first man to win 100m, 200m and 4x100m Olympic gold medals in world records.
• Lewis Hamilton from the UK, the youngest ever Formula One World Champion at 23 years and 300 days.
• Michael Phelps of the US, who won 8 gold medals in a single Olympiad to overtake Mark Spitz's record.
• Cristiano Ronaldo from Portugal, FIFA World Player of the Year, scored 42 goals for Manchester United.
• Valentino Rossi of Italy, who beat Giacomo Agostini's record 68 500cc wins, and won 6th senior world title.

(These names were taken off Rafa's website..:)

Andy Murray wins his first Semi on clay - will play Rafa Nadal

Andy Murray, looking good, after reaching your first semi-final on clay. Big day for Murray - wins match against Italy's Fabio Fognini 7-6 (13-11), 6-4 in morning game and then caps the day by winning the match with Nikolay Davydenko 7-6 (7-1), 6-4 late evening. Match set. Murray vs. Rafa. Tomorrow. Be there, or rawrrrrrrrr! VAMOS RAFA!

Rafa Nadal is just awesome at Aussie!

Rafa began the Australian Open in awesome fashion (no pun intended, you know how I feel about his new sexy Nikes, NOT!) by trouncing Belgium Christophe Rochus who had a hard time just getting on the scoreboard until the 9th game. Rafa squashed Rochus in one hour and 17 minutes with a 6-0, 6-2, 6-2 win! My Rafa is playing sooooo good and his knee is well, thankyouverymuch! After the match, we went out to eat; we started with tapas, then had espinagades (yeech, I don't lika eel, but don't tell Rafa, ok?); we finished with ensaimadas. I never had such sweetness before and now it's my favorite kind of food. When I slipped off to the Bitc Ladies Room after we ate, I was horrified to see a white ring around my mouth. Not to worry, tho, it was confectionary sugar. LOL. Then Rafa stuck me in his pocket and took me home. Photo by C Verwaal

RAFA NADAL's Stunning win over Davydenko: RAWRR, RAFA!

Oooooo, I'm so excited I'm going to burst! Rafa is victorious over Davydenko, winning 6-2, 6-3, in the Capitala World Tennis Championship semi-final in Abu Dhabi, UAE on Friday! Davydenko started by breaking Rafa in thees first game taking away any point, but Rafa came back quickly and tromped Davydenko taking the first set 6-2. Davydenko broke Rafa in thees second set, too, but that only fired Rafa up and he took off like a rocket to win 6-3! You GO, Rafa! He's off to thees final to face off weeth #4 Andy Murray after he prevailed in 3 sets 4-6, 6-2, 7-6 (8-6) against Roger Federer. We can say Friday's win is a stunning start to thees 2009 season for Rafa! Now - before anyone comes to Contessa ChiChi too eager to gossip about Down-the-Line! catching singer Shakira flirting weeth my Rafa at thees game - I know, I know, the photo shows Shakira looking a little too interested at Rafa for MY comfort - and - Down the Line! hinting that Xisca could take Shak down if she makes a move on Rafa - well, what about thees? What about Contessa ChiChi taking them both down for moving in on my territory, hunh?! Lissen, I ask you, does Rafa look jubilant to you in this photo with Xisca? No. I didn't theenk so. On the other hand, when he's with me, hes little gorgeous, Contessa ChiChi - l-oo-k how happy and affectionate he is!! Need I say anything more?! No. I didn't theenk so. Didn't Rafa look dev in his new Nike duds? (/sarcasm) O, well. Don't fret, Nike! I theenk his head gear rocks!!

Happy Halloween! I heart Rafa Nadal! \o/ Vamos!
