The Weekender: Rafael Nadal
“I’m going to get even better.”
Rafael Nadal
As far as I’m concern, Nadal is going to win, because he’s got the taste for it, and he is perfection personified. This summer, we should expect to see nothing less from him. Oh, how I wish I was present at the All England Club in the suburb of London, from June 20th to July 3rd to witness this great event (!)
Most of you already know how hard tickets for Wimbledon (celebrating its 125th anniversary, this year) are to come by, ever since its beginning in 1877. But for me, it’s not always about the tennis, you know. For the last few years, besides seeing my favorite champion on the court, what I usually look for is the high fashion, the strict dress code among the competitors, and of course, the strawberries and cream, which sales for far too much. But who cares? It’s Wimbledon, a tournament which is considered by most one of the most prestigious of them all. And for two glorious weeks, it is Tennis Heaven for Rafael Nadal‘s enthusiasts like myself.
Above: Rafa Nadal wearing the Tourbillon RM 027 by Richard Mille which was developed for him in 2010.
Mille’s team took almost a year to create the $525,000 watch. Titanium base plate, with bridges of aluminum lithium. Barrel pawl with progressive recoil, winding barrel teeth and third-wheel pinion with central involute profile.
Can somebody say “Advantage Nadal“? Thank you.
In April of this year, Richard Mille continued his collaboration with Rafael Nadal by donating the RM 027 to Only Watch Charity Auction. The proceeds went to fund research into Duchenne muscular dystrophy.

Yes, sublime tennis will be on the minds and hearts for two straight weeks, but what about some site seeing, and adventurous getaways? One can get plenty of those. Visit this tourist guide to
Wimbledon Lawn Tennis Championship and the local towns.

Vyna,
I read last week that if Nadal continues playing for the next five years like he’s been doing it He’ll be the best tennis player in HISTORY!!! Could you believe it? I mean “I love him!”
Oh and He is coming out with a book. I’m anxiously waiting for it.
See you tonight!

Julie,
Nadal certainly has the qualifications, and zeal to become THE BEST in History. His chances are exceedingly high, I think.
Can’t wait to read the book. Wouldn’t it be great if he did a book signing in NYC?! How cool would that be!!
See you at LVMH!
