So Roger said to Rafa. . .
Photo from Busted Racquet
Two weeks ago Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal shared a private jet from Zurich to Madrid, where they played a second exhibition match. Here they are on the plane. They can take a private jet but they don’t have a proper camera? Is that a gift-wrapped box Roger is holding? Why does Rafa look grouchy? Did the flight attendant interrupt a serious conversation? What are they saying in this photograph?

Probably discussing who’s going to win the first set.
Ganyan pala hitsura sa loob ng private jet. Claustro!

1) Is it wrong for me to think that this picture would be perfect for a LitWit challenge?
2) I’m far from a Rafa apologist, but part of me thinks that Rafa isn’t grouchy so much as attempting “Blue Steel” from Zoolander. I think it’s in the shoulders, and the way he’s sucking in his cheeks.

Roger: A Christmas gift?? You’re sweet, man. I could hug you.
Rafa: You can skip that.
Roger: Did you wrap this yourself? Hmmm, I wonder what this is. (Shakes the box real hard, like a little boy in anticipation.)
Rafa: (Holds out his palm.) I’m waiting.
Roger: For what?
Rafa: Ahh, never mind.
Roger: Why the long face?
Rafa: I said never mind.
Roger: Hmmm . . . ahh, got you. You should thank me I paid for this trip.
Rafa: You’re so cheap.
Roger: Oh, yeah? What do you call this? You’re giving me an autographed picture of yours? Worse, of the time you beat me at the grand finals?
Rafa: It’s the thought that counts.
Roger: Uh, ok. Let’s not ruin the moment. Hey, miss can you take our picture? Here’s my phone.
Stewardess: Sure.
Rafa: I’m sleepy now.
Roger: It’ll only take a minute.
Stewardess: Ok, one . . . two . . .
Rafa: Wait, I said . . .
Stewardess: . . . three! Good!
Roger: Thanks, miss. Nice shot.
Rafa: You really are cheap. Can’t even afford a DSLR.
Roger: You’re just sore. I look good even with a cellphone camera.
Rafa: Zzzzzzzzz….

Roger: Great game! Good idea to save your strength for the next tournament, though. On that account, I won.
Rafa: Actually, no… I just let you win.
Roger: Merci, mon petit chou. You are gold.
Rafa: …
Roger: You deserve the best. Like maybe a dozen patterned Zegna? With your physique? Magnifique.
Rafa (shoves box into Roger’s hand): Here. It’s for later, but I figured we won’t be alone with the parents and all.
Roger: Wha-? Thanks! But you shouldn’t have. It’s just a small victory for charity, ‘no? Is this the new Nano?
Rafa: No. And it’s not for the recent win.
Roger: Christmas? But you already put my gift under my tree!
Rafa: Don’t you remember what today is?
Roger: Hum?
Rafa: Our anniversary?
Roger: I am puzzled.
Rafa: Our anniversary!
Roger: First time we played?
Rafa: No.
Roger: First time we played doubles?
Rafa: No.
Roger: First time I let you win?
Rafa: No.
Roger: First time I took you shopping?
Rafa: ¡No! And to think I thought you remembered! ¡Hijo de Graf!
Roger: I am perplexed.
Rafa: Then what did you mean when you said you wanted to spend time with Mamita and Papita this Christmas to seriously propose something?
Roger: Merde, I just want to propose drafting plans for a tennis court in the middle of a bullfight arena in Madrid! It’s more exciting than falling off the edge of a wet court, n’est-ce pas? Why should those sheiks get all the big ideas?
Rafa (gestures frustration wildly before crossing arms): Ergh!
Roger: Mais non, I’m in trouble, aren’t I?
Rafa: I can’t believe you forgot.
Roger: Er… oh, look, a flight attendant fan.
Stewardess: Wot, saw your signal, Rafa? And here I am, to capture the moment. Say cheese, lovers!
Roger: Hee.
Rafa: Whatever. I’m pouting.
