Rafa goes on being a reference: he's been the most searched for athlete on Yahoo, more than Messi, CR7, Alonso, Casillas.
Rafa is more popular than ever.
also richer than ever. last year he made over $41 million. this year he could top $50 million.
It's because of his personality, I think. People relate to him being a normal person rather than a superstar. He seems like a person you can talk to, no airs. He and Andy act so normal. It's like they realize that they hit the ball over a net for a living and don't take the hype so seriously. I think that has a lot to do with their appeal. Regular guys who treat others right.
