Something I noticed on my AO app the other day. Couldn't see it elsewhere. Decided to avoid putting it on the Rafa thread as it's not real news. An exclusive interview with Rafa's knees...
http://www.australianopen.com/en_AU/news/articles/2013-01-27/201301251359101978649.htmlIt's maybe not that funny maybe I was just in the mood for some light relief when I read it. It's quite long so I've copied the part where they talk about Andy.
AO website: Quite. But what have you missed most since you have been away?Rodilla derecha: That’s easy: we miss Andy Murray’s knees. Particularly his right one. His rodilla derecha.
AO website: You miss Murray’s knees?Rodilla derecha: Sí.
AO website: What do you talk about when you are hanging out with his knees, then?Rodilla derecha: We talk shop.
AO website: So you talk about tennis?Rodilla derecha: No, we talk about knees.
AO website: Knees?Rodilla derecha: Sí. We have... how do you say: una afinidad?
Rodilla izquierda: An affinity
Rodilla derecha: We have an affinity with Andy’s knees, no? He has... wait, I’ve practised this: a bipartite patella. Good, eh? I bet our English teacher, Señorita García, never thought I could get that right.
Rodilla izquierda: Do you mind getting on with the story?
Rodilla derecha: Sorry. Yes, Andy’s right kneecap is in two pieces. He was born that way. So he has to keep an eye on it.
Rodilla izquierda: He’s not only a tennis player, he is also a contortionist....
Rodilla derecha: Enough with the jokes already! So, we talk about knees and rehab and stuff. Or, “and whatnot” as Andy’s knee always says....
Rodilla izquierda: He is a lovely knee, is Andy’s right knee. Often misunderstood. He is very polite, very humble. We were so pleased when he won the US Open. We texted him right after the final. And he is always texting us to see how we are doing. We are looking forward to seeing him again soon.
Like I said maybe it's not that funny but I thought it was better here than in the Rafa or Tennis News threads.
