Q & R avec Rafa: are you allowed to do any extreme sports?

Hey Rafa, my father was an English cricketer and his insurance didn't allow him to do certain things, such as skiing. Is there anything that your insurance doesn't let you do that you wish you could? Good luck at RG. Laurence.

Rafa: Some of the contracts don't allow me to put my self into risk. But I have to say that I don't even need those... I am staying away from risks in any case...

Hi Rafa. Is there anywhere or anything in the world that you would like to see or visit if you had the time? Thanx Rafa.
Val, UK

Rafa: Yes, many times. But hope I will do these once I stop with tennis.

Hey Rafa! I am a big fan and I was overjoyed when you signed my autograph at the U.S. Open in 08! (you used my pen to sign everyone’s belongings) :) I homeschool for tennis so I can travel to tournaments. I was wondering what you did for school as a kid with all the travelling for tennis?

Rafa: I suppose you ask if I was a good student? Not bad, but definitely not the best student...

Hello! Now that your birthday is coming up. What is the best birthday present you ever got? Do you have any birthday wishes this year?
Katri, Norway

Rafa: All presents are nice to be honest. It depends who is giving it to you and the meaning of it.

Hi Rafa, love watching you play tennis, you are my favourite player and I really missed you at Wimbledon last year, can't wait to see you back there. I wanted to ask you what you think of the roof we have at Wimbledon now? Good luck with the rest of the tournament at RG, you are playing great and many thanks for doing the blogs :-)

Rafa: I think it is good although we won’t see again someone receiving the trophy in the dark... :-)

Hola Rafa, my question to you is if you had to chose between fishing alone at dawn in the Majorcan sea, playing golf with your uncles or playing beach football with your friends what would you chose? Congratulations on having such an amazing clay season; you've made me a very happy and proud fan! Muchas gracias and good luck for RG Campeon!!
Manahil, Pakistan

Rafa: I would choose doing all that in one day. It is actually possible and what I enjoy the most.

If you could ask a question of the tennis journalists attending your presser, what would it be? Best wishes as always.
Natalie

Rafa: I ask them sometimes, believe me...

Hola Rafa! I've read in your blog that you watched the Formula One race last weekend. I was wondering who is your favorite F1 driver?
Ness, Philippines

Rafa: I did, and clearly I support the Spaniards!!! :-)
