I don't think I ever posted this here
(I know I posted it on Mauremo's forum
ages ago.)

from http://www.vaginaldavis.com/blog/2003_05_18_arc.html

I found it a long time ago when I
searched for "Nadal" and "bubble butt".

Is it typical for Mallorcan youth to be
fans of Vaginal Davis?

I love your posts Mary. It's funny to imagine, but as a fan of the hilarious and brilliant Vaginal Davis as well as Nadal I'd guess that Vag is telling a big fib.

What that very funny piece of gossip reveals is that Ms. Davis -- ever ahead of the curve -- had sussed out Nadal's many gifts before most "tennis experts" did.

One interesting other thing, though. When Nadal won Roland Garros, I noticed that Amelie was either seated with his huge family, or mixed in with them by happenstance.

It had to have been weird for her to watch someone win that tournament so close-up -- maybe it proved inspirational.

I'm pretty sure I found this post in the
spring of 2005, well before RG that year.
So Ms. Davis was definitely prescient.

Fun stuff though! (I must admit I was gullible
and thought Ms. Davis truly had a fan in Rafa!)

As for Mauresmo at RG this year; I was so
busy at work that I didn't follow all the
gossip about the men's final. If I manage
to dig up any, I'll share!

The blog entry suggests that it was made the week Nadal beat Carlos Moya in Hamburg, which was the first time I noticed him. I wouldn't have known what he looked like though, just that some 16-year-old kid beat a top 5 player on his best surface.
