those were the days lady TT.


rafa used to pull off absolutely impossible shots on the dead run and from 20 miles behind the baseline.

He was lightning fast and those shots were ridiculous. Now, looking at it you can see that he's not as fast as he used to be, but it's hard to have a point of reference since he's injured every off year. He reminds me of me. It seems I can do nothing without my body reacting to it.

I mean, I'm at a healthy weight but according to the doctors my body produces a lot of cholesterol. How weird is that? I don't consume a lot, but I get the effects of it anyway. I took an Advil recently and it tore my kidney up. Good thing I was already at the doctor's office because they were able to put me in the hospital right away.

That's why I get mad when people think what's going on with Rafa has to do with his "physical" style. The entire game is physical now, so that to me, is a worthless speculation.

All you have to do is get sick one good time and your body can totally fall apart. Before all of this stuff happened I rarely even took an aspirin and was constantly throwing away medicine because it would expire. Now, every time I turn around something's wrong with me.

The doctors can't explain it, they say it shouldn't have happened, but a UTI was treated with twenty different antibiotics and no one checked to see that my body was resistant to them. From that medical mistake flowed all of my other health problem. Sometimes it's just the luck of the draw.

you know Rafa's most favorite movie is "Gladiator".



and I am thinking about that amazing line from that movie: "I will show them something they have never seen before".



well Rafa gave the world something they had never seen before either. his absolutely impossible shots on the dead run off both wings.

And he will. All that's going on is just a smokescreen. It has nothing to do with Rafa's destiny. In hindsight, I guess he played Basel because he was contractually obligated and didn't show up last year. Now, he has that monkey off his back and can concentrate on getting healthy.

The procedure is scheduled for November 3rd, so that appears to be pretty good timing. I'm looking forward to a great 2015.
