Aw bless them, are they decked out in the flag?


Well she is just amateur hour, she should be ashamed of herself.

Swiss flags, t-shirts, sunglasses, hats, headbands. The works. You name it, they are wearing it. Their patriotism knows no bounds.

quite not putting any effort in

i have tattooed my whole body black in deference to Rafa being absent she's wearing COLOURS for god's sake

What are you going to do when he comes back? That's some serious laser treatment coming your way!

Sue has no class.

i will use the black as a backdrop to highlight the glorious listings, in shining gold, of all his future wins the black will make the gold really 'pop'

Couldn't agree more Jenny *re-covers self in bin liner of mourning*

You'll both be pleased to hear that the official period of mourning ends on 29 December in Abu Dhabi.

I am wearing normal clothes having taken a more understated approach with a small Rafa 'advent' calendar. Less is more I think. (She says, wearing her Rafa pyjamas - sitting in her Rafa themed boudoir.....)

with rafa!?

Do you think that I'd be posting on DS if he were here?

maybe....

I saw on twitter he has had his hair cut shorter

He's shaved his head apparently. Possibly a hair transplant :

ohhhhh. I'd only seen the last photo. Interesting.

Now Jewels & tartan belle you're not going fangirl on me are you?

It's just shaved at the sides and probably back and yes, his Facebook confirms that it's preparation for a hair transplant - some specialist salon revelling in the publicity.

But more importantly, the boy is back practising. Hopefully the wrist is fully healed now.

Going? Can't speak for tartan- belle but in my case that ship sailed long ago....

moi? I do like a bit of Rafa and always have.

Not quite as much as Delpo though!

Kindred spirits

I'd be surprised if he did go down that road. Depends how self conscious he is about it, I'd assume he just had enough and decided to get rid. But if Agassi can play in a wig rather than show his hair then anything is possible.

Edit: Just seen Jewels' post so yeah it is for that.

Jewels just posted that he's confirmed he's having a hair transplant on his FB page.

You posted before I edited my post, rude.

It must be embarrassing for him, I hope it works.

Can he take Andy and get a 2 for 1 deal?

Lisa! Behave! Andy has a few years left I reckon.

LOL

Sorry, it's actually on the salon's Facebook with pics of Rafa and the owner.

I'm guessing that it is image related as well as a personal ego thing. I've heard it said that some like Rafa because of his looks which is really shallow obviously.

Not really. He's backcombing his hair from the back now to try and cover his ever growing bald spot.

Rafa must have given his permission for his photo to be used. He's probably getting a free hair transplant out of it.
