Nadal is wearing a pink shirt at Roland Garros this year

No Roland Garros title for Nadal this year.

Add the Simon Reed curse of predicting Nadal as the RG winner and voila it is a foregone conclusion. No RG for the annoying Spanish moonballer.



Guess who Reed had predicted as the female RG winner?

Fat whale Serena.

Actually it isn´t pink Nike have named it Crimson Fire nah nah nah nah

Haddie-nuff

It could be called anything but it looks like pink to me. I think it shows extreme bravery. Not only is Nadal brave enough to wear pink in the first place but he is also brave enough to put on a colour for RG associated with his biggest ever shock loss. Other weaker mortals wouldn't dare...

Nadal is a goner at RG this year like in 2009.

Oh yes...he wore pink when Soderling beat him right?
As long as he doesnt also wear pink shorts, pink socks and pink bandana it should be too bad...

I have pink pants!

too much info LK!

Oh hang, you mean shorts right...? lol

It's not really that brave unless you've lost to Soderling whilst wearing them.

Not that brave HE? ...you wouldnt get me down the club sporting a pair!

It unsettles the opponents!! It's a good thing!

If you wear 'em tight you'll have to pick at them between serves too

Nah. The lyrca feel and the grunting. That is how you turn the tide in matches. Erghhhhhhhaaaaaaaa after each groundstroke.

Which proves a point no ???? contrary to the belief that Rafa is superstitious no ????

When will Jersey get a prediction right, just check William Hill, Jersey 4 a correct prediction ur price at 10000/1, may put pound on u, u may fluke 1, & ur 1/1000000 2 b wrong, seems like thee bookies never get it wrong.

I went to a club in Majorca a couple of years ago.....there in the middle of an adoring crowd i spotted Nadal who was dancing like crazy. He was wearing a pink latex vest incredibly tight, it really was shell shocking to watch.....

Where in Majorca pm :roll:

Shell shocking or shell suit...lol.
He was probably wearing lime green tight spandex pants and a trilby as well.

Now your being silly lydian he would surely be wearing a glitter bandana.. trilby indeed

Mais oui haddie...

Surely he couldnt look any sillier than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BO0wbvQ4GSw

Can't open that. It's not Fed in his jacket & trousers, is it?

Staying Alive !!!!

Aren't we all getting a little horny on Nadal's pink?

Aye BB...that cringeworthy (but fun) ad with Tiger Woods where he's got those platform shoes on!
See if this link works...

Deja Vu.

Nadal wearing pink shirt, Federer wins RG.

Methinks there is a place for you on another site.

Yep, someone give him the VIP ticket.

Incidentally check it out on Wooffies blog... Rafan (one of the girls saw Rafa yesterday) His shirt looks pink but "in the flesh" IT IS RED

I know Haddie, I had read it was reddish on a report.

Compare the 2009 version:

Mmmm. I think that might be some sort of physiological phenomenon. We can all see what we want to see.

Nadal may be extemely brave and be willing to demonstrate this by playing the pink card again. Some of his fans could perhaps be a little (or a lot...) less brave. They prefere not to laugh in the face of superstition and instead call "pink" some other fancy red sounding name. Pfft!

Linking to my article about Serena Williams... I know that in a similar situation she would be clothed entirely in powder puff pink...

jersey

You are obviously a complete "weenie". I bet you don't possess even one item of pink clothing. In fact my guess is that just to be on the safe side you dress entirely in blue... navy blue!

Nadal's 2012 RG shirt is the same shade as Sharapova's Rome 2012 outfit.

Hot pink. Both from Nike.

HE...I fear you are going colour blind, lol...its "Scarlet Fire"

Got my eye on the RF jacket...just the matter of $125 though...and you HAVE to get the rest of the outfit!

In the past pink was a boys colour and blue was a girls colour.

Jersey...now this is what I call pink. Matches the trousers, belt and pose well
Link --> Pink!!

That is light pink and he is not playing with that color.

lydian. What's the difference between

and

Well apart from the colour of the Nike tick and the extra 1% spandex in number 2... and of course the extra $25 cost of number 1.

Make sure you buy the correct one.

I bet in the past Nadal would have been brave enough to wear blue...

lol...well spotted HE...not called Hawk-Eye for nothing hey?

That could be $25 well saved

After all, I've just spent >£300 on 2 racquets and a further £55 for stringing them...I need to save as much as I can!

Ha ha! Glad to be of service.

I see this pink thing is catching.... Another Pinkster!

Do you think Tiriac would consider Pink Balls for the Madrid Open 2013?

2012, Featured, From the fans, Roland Garros »
Fire up for Rafa!

We had so much fun going blue last year, why not do something similar this year? Problem is, what color is that darn shirt? Red? Pink? Raspberry? The official name from Nike is “Scarlet Fire”, so fire shall be our theme. It’s a fitting one since our boy is often so fired up on the court.

How can you show that your fired up for Rafa’s attempt to win a historic 7th Roland Garros? The tradition started with us painting toe or fingernails to match Rafa’s shirts,

I think, in fairness, this is much closer to what I saw that night in Majorca.....

Jersey..

You say its PINK but Nike have said
It is called SCARLET FIRE and SCARLET is red
Who cares what you SEE ..whether its pink or its red.
The Matter is closed so put it to bed.

When Rafa lifts that 7th Trophy on the 10th day of June
He wont give a monkey´s he´ll be over the moon
Do you think he will care for what YOU think ?
No of course he wont... HE WILL BE TICKLED PINK

He won't even reach the RG final.

Pink shirt curse.

Ominous.
