    “Feel free to comment on if you’ve ever seen Rafa’s hair more frizzy. And we want proof.”

    It was pretty frizzy when he got his first #1 plaque from Manolo Santana in Madrid 2008.

    (I’m also amused to see the post I wrote about the haircutting ladies keeping Rafa’s hair from the USO cropping up in “related posts”. 🙂 )
