Fangirl Extraordinaire

This man.

I could not be more proud. To fight back after looking so completely destroyed at the end of that 3rd set took every ounce of passion and determination he had in him, and in the end it was so very very close, an odd miss here and there (that stupid missed passing shot at 4-2 30-15), one or two points that could've completely changed the outcome. But he gave it everything he had when it would've been so easy to just say "well done this is yours take your trophy", especially after the past 6 matches these two have played. He looked like he had no answers but he dug deep and found something new and he made a goddam epic match of it when it could so easily have been a complete walkover. So proud.

Next time love. This match was so much closer than any last year, you so very nearly had him. Next time those odd points might just swing your way. Next time you KNOW you've got the game to take it to him. Next time you will win.

Go rest up. Have a break, get away from everything, forget about it all. Come back all guns blazing.

THANKS VALENCIA NOT LIKE I NEEDED TO BREATHE FOR THE LAST 20 MINUTES OR ANYTHING X________X

( cut for FLAIL )

( Coz I love them a lot and I felt like it )

Um. There will be more tomorrow XD

First things first:


HOW SO CUTE RAFA?

I wasn't gonna post any of the trophy ceremony pics coz they make me sad, but... god dammit, they're too cute. They've broken me. I may never be fixed.


Oh Raf, you're the only person who had the slightest chance of fixing him even a tiny bit in that moment. After that first attempt at the speech he looked like we were never gonna see him smile again. But the moment Rafa got on that podium he went straight to Roger and made sure he was ok. Then he walked over, grabbed his trophy, and went straight back to Roger and gave him the biggest cuddle and within seconds Roger was smiling again (tho obviously the tears were still there)

( More cuddles )

This post confuses me. Coz on the one hand, it's really really sad coz even tho Rafa's done a brilliant job of cheering him up, Rogi still looks so sad. But on the other hand, god dammit they're too cute, and I just love how Rafa didn't even hesitate to go to him when he saw he was hurting.
