      We love him too, especially for his honesty and transparency. He's nervous, he doesn't feel calm, but he makes conscious choices as we all can do if we train this. Mental strength through kindness is possible! H5 and #friendlyeyes Jackie Reardon

      In pro tennis that case can be made because he's never smashed a raquet in anger where Fed and Djokovic have done..Rafa has a great temperament, he's extremely competitive on court and he's not a jerk off court because of that..he's a polite gentleman.
