I admire Rafa for his down-to-earth, humble and generous spirit with his fans, as well as his competitive spirit on the tennis courts.

Rafa is blogging at the US Open
Times Online
And you can ask him a question by emailing him at

Good Luck on getting selected for an answer.

Here is my second try to get a question answered at the US Open 2008 (he answered a question I sent in last year timesonline.typepad.com/rafael_nadal/us_open_2007) :

Dear Rafa,

What question would you like to answer?! That is the question I would like to ask you.

If you weren't a human being, what animal would you like to be and why?

Oh, and go ahead and be on David Letterman's show. He isn't that good at English himself at times. Ja Ja Ja! Besides, we love to hear you in any language. You speak better English than many of us speak Spanish. VAMOS RAFA!

But first, tell us so we can set our DVRs to record you.

I wrote to Oprah and requested her to have you on the Oprah show, but much easier to be on David's, as his show is in New York City.

Love to you from the USA, Rafa!

Muchas gracias!
