    His story became part of my story since that July afternoon in 2008 when he won his first Wimbledon title, my biggest inspiration since then, giving me strength and hope with every victory, and the way he handles defeat and faces adversity, and just being a genuinely good person. You got me through a lot, Campeón, i thank you and i love you, let's give 'em hell just a little longer, Vamosss Rafa!!!

      So beautifully put. My admiration started in French Open 2005 but that transformed to an extraordinary inspiration in Wimbledon 2006: I remember seeing Rafa crash out in Wimbledon 2005 right after his first FO record win. His serve was terrible, his adaptation to Grass was really behind in 2005. Then, in 2006, there he was in the Final fighting Federer. His extraordinary hard-work, perseverance and humility still has me spellbound. I am just a few years younger than Rafa. I’ve always looked up to him all through his journey as a big brother & it is extremely moving to follow his evolution along with my own. :)

    You really get a sense of Rafa's character when you watch videos of him taking lessons. So many people would be arrogant, but you can see him listen attentively and try to put the coach's instructions into practice. Many fall into the trap of arrogance and then no one can tell them anything. The truly intelligent people are aware of how little they actually know. I saw Rafa up close at a US Open practice session, and it was impressive how well he and his team functioned as a unit. Rafa was the focus, but he was taking input from his team readily.
