And Maribel is a major cutie. No surprise there at all.. Some good genes...

are you kidding? Regis is ******** and should retire. He was making Nadal awkward by asking him stupid questions. No surprises there because he has been stinking up interviews the past two years with Del Potro and Federer. In 2007, he asked Federer who he beat in the final? (hello? research) and said that he had "amazing eyes".

Oh come on now, it always kinda sux when a really hot guy has a gf! I'm not a big Xisca fan either, it won't change a damn thing, except perhaps for some personal satisfaction! lol.

I like her because she seems unaffected by her boyfriend's fame and she also seems very supportive. It takes a special person to date a guy who is young, good looking and away from you for a good portion of the year. Since they first started dating Rafa has gotten huge, as his gf she has to care about her appearance! I'm not talking a ton of makeup or perfect clothes all the time. But, for one of Rafa's matches she looks like she just got out of bed and showed up. She also wore the same shirt twice during the tourney. I probably sound really vain or superficial right now, but I'm not. It's kind of like why I think Mirka should lose weight. I'm not talking skinny skinny, but with all that money, a personal trainer won't hurt. She too is the wife of one of the biggest tennis players in the history of the sport, like it or not, these women are in the spotlight.

"You were hitting 130 miles an hour on your serve. Is there a change on your serve, or it had to do with the conditions or what?
RAFAEL NADAL: And wait. Wait for the next one, I going for 135 (smiling).
No, I am trying to serve a little bit more like Wimbledon because the ball here is very soft. Is not getting a lot of topspin. I try to play a little bit more flat. And for that reason, I am serving faster, I think. That's it. "

How do you think he serves flatter? Slight change of grip, so he doesn't put topspin on the ball.

Maybe Rafa doesn't care about what she wears. Fashion is something females care about a lot more than males (apart from the Federeresque males).

Me too. McEnroe is a fantastic interviewer.
It's always more interesting when Rafa gets interviewed by a player than 1 of those stupid journalists.

I think it's great that Mirka doesn't feel the necessity of losing weight to please the standard of 'beauty'...hum... I mean the almost anorexic standard of beauty we have now. GO MIRKA.
And it's very refreshing to see a girl with no make up and who likes to wear clothes more than once (shocking indeed). GO XISCA.
I'm sure you're not that superficial, btw.
They may be not subversive women, but I like their 'f... the the standard' attitude.

[nadal_slam_king]

Makeup looks crap on people anyway, its odd how girls think makeup is good.

I do too. I hate that society tries to dictate what women should be, how much they should weigh, what they should wear, etc.

I've seen so many women's lives ruined because they feel they don't fit certain standards. I feel for them, but at the same time it's their fault for trying to be what others dictate.

Most men like confidence, and nothing says confidence than being yourself.

I was saying that maybe Rafa doesn't care how Xisca dresses. Cos I'm a male and I couldn't care less how girlfriend dresses. Fashion isn't an issue at least from my point of view.

Yea but meg0529 comment that Xisca always looks like she just got awake/got out of bed, has as much to do with Xesca's own natural looks/expression/demeanor as her choice of outfits, me thinks.

[babbette]

Lol Meg she does look like she just got out of bed and does seem to wear a lot of the same clothes many times that's true. I don't know if that is because she can't be bothered to travel with a lot of clothes, whether that's just how she is or whether she refuses to use some of Rafa's money for shopping.

really? It seems pretty easy you get to do what you want and enjoy the benefits when he's home, riding his boat, etc... But anyway apparently she finally accepted to go out with him after he won his first RG hmmm.
Anyway her looks are not the reason I can't warm to her (even though looking at pics from Rafa's usual hangout he is missing out on some serious STUNNERS). I admire men that can love a simple woman but I can't seem to warm to her because she seems stuck up! For someone that must have life so good (beautiful country, great friends, good family, great boyfriend, gets to travel for free, eat at good restaurants for free, friendly with his family, successful in school) she always looks so bloody miserable and hungry!! (there was reports she ate a dry salad while people around her ate juicy steaks). It makes me angry! My life is a bloody nightmare most of the times but it hardly reflects that! WTF has she got to be miserable about! She hardly ever cracks a smile, when she does happen to cheer she looks so bloody stiff. I also hate the fact that before they felt the need that she had to be protected..who the **** does she think she is Anyway I could rant about her all day Like I said before, Rafa loves his country, Xisca IS Mallorca to him so he will probably marry her. But I wouldn't be surprised if it's one of those situation where they're married but he cheats on her on the side and she accepts it.

[jerriy]

^ That's what Ibiza is there for (limitless cheatin opportunities

[nadal_slam_king]

The bed look is the most attractive look though in my opinion.

Like I said, I think she dresses well actually. I quite like her fashion sense. But you have to appear at the USO as the GF of the #1 player in the world, just 7 times. In those 7 time why would you wear the same top twice! Jeans are fine, but tops?! I think Nadal pays attention to the way he dresses too btw. It's pretty easy for them back at Mllorca, though since they only need bathing suits! haha.

I can't believe Rafa was like 5 blocks from me doing public appearances and I cuold have left work but didn't know about them

I get what you are saying and you are right. But I'm not talking about being a glam doll or being anorexic ya know? I mean I don't expect that you have a wardrobe so vast that you don't need to change for a whole month. But it's just 7 appearances, at one of the most important events in your boyfriend's career. You know who you are representing. I think she really is very pretty, lovely skin, lovely hair. But how about just some chapstick? As for Mirka, I think she's pretty too! No need for her to lose a ton of weight, but some tummy toning won't hurt her. Then again maybe Rog likes em big =D

haha,I thought the same thing! I go to school close by, I was actually supposed to go to TS to buy something, but I got lazy last min! Oh well. It would have killed my hold day trying to a fight a crowd to get a pic of his behind...not that that's bad
