Rafael ‘Rafa’ Nadal was at David Letterman’s Show last Thursday, August 25, 2011, to promote his latest book “Rafa” and the upcoming 2011 U.S. Open Grand Slam.
Ask about Roger Federer, Rafa uttered “.. Somethimes it’s better if he’s not there!” - That cracked me up!! LOL! 
The tournament starts on August 29 to September 11. Rafael Nadal is the defending U.S. Open champion, capturing last year’s men’s singles title over Serbia’s Novak Djokovic in four sets, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2. At age 24, the top-seeded Nadal became the youngest player to complete the career Grand Slam in the Open Era.
I’m excited to watch the 2011 U.S. Open games and I’m looking forward to seeing my number one Tennis athlete play his matches, this coming week!
Muy buena suerte, Rafa!!
