Hi Roger, I am a great fan of you and i was also disappointed to hear that
the crowd started cheering for you only after smashing your racket.. as if
for pity. Well i was there cheering for you in front of the tv. I m always
behind you because you are my idol. I watch videos of your games to try and
improve mine. Can t wait for your future matches. All the best, Good luck

roger trust yourself you can win yor 14 grand slam title, you are one of
the best in the history, but sorry about what happened in the australian
open, where you did not win. rafa was playing incredible, but I am sure
that you can win again. but I have to tell you that I am a nadal fan. you
are as good as sampras was in his best years.

Hi Roger, tonight is so amazing. Rafa did win his first Australian open,
but thousands of fans are with you. Heart and spirit. To me you are the
winner! I thought I would feel bad if you lose, but the truth is, you make
me proud because to be 'you' is all that count! I'm just like thousands of
your fans, will always pray for you, wish you all the best and we will all
be waiting for your 14th grand slam title. Go Roger!

I met a young man in a store at the Bloomsburg Mall in Pennsylvania. He
said he was from Switzerland. I aksed him what he was doing inPa and he
said he had been playing at a University. He looked like you. As we drove
away I wished I had asked if it was you. My question is were you in Pa in
the Fall of last year?
