rafa = Fed look alike

[Chenx15]

What's up with Rafa's black outfit, fist pumps after winning, even the crowd salutation. is Nike really trying to make rafa look like the fed?

RAFA is trying to make rafa look like fed. trying to channel his energy, or something.

"Which talent would you most like to have?
Roger Federer’s ability to play tennis easily."

Rafa has also admired Fed no matter how the dynamics of their rivalry have changed over the years and is also seen at his matches from time to time.

Haha I turned on the tv and thought for a second they were broadcasting the match of Federer.

He looks like a younger Fed :-?

 

[veroniquem]

He looks nothing like Fed (thankfully)

A slow process...

I thought Nadal looked awesome last night. Best look Ive seen on him in over a year.

 

[aldeayeah]

LOL@the opening post, exactly my thoughts.

Although Darth Fedal look much better than in their pink USO Series outfit.

Nadal in black= Farth Rafael

A slow process...

Very good analysis. I believe his public relations people and the NIKE marketing people are also partially responsible for this transformation.

Hope they stay clear of this look.

 

[Chenx15]

they are trying to make him more likable to the fed fans. he looks cleaner too...

I wonder if Rafa's serve would be better if he served righty :neutral:
