“Rogelio" Surprises Rafa in Basel10/27/05Although Rafa withdrew from the Davidoff Swiss Indoors in Basel due to acute tendonitis in his knees, he agreed to travel to Basel to meet with the tournament director and sponsors. Rafa is friends with World No. 1 Roger Federer. After last Sunday's thrilling Madrid final, which Rafa won after being down two sets to love, "Rogelio" (as Rafa calls him) sent Rafa an SMS saying, in part Spanish and part Italian, "¡Hola, hombre! Rafa, bueno tenis y Madrid! Muchos contento Rogelio por te."Roger lives in Basel, and on Monday he called the ATP at the Basel tournament and asked where Rafa was staying. He was told he was in room 449 of a luxury hotel. Roger went to the hotel and knocked on Rafa's door. Rafa opened it, and Roger said, "Hola." Rafa was quite surprised, and very pleased to see Roger. They visited for 20 minutes, but then Rafa had to leave to comply with tournament commitments. Speaking in English, Roger asked him details about the Madrid tournament, and Rafa said, "It was very hard. I almost lost the match." Roger took off his shoe and showed Rafa his injured ankle. It is still swollen, but he told Rafa he is doing everything he can to be ready for Shanghai. He said that next week, he will begin to run a little and then will try to play tennis. Then they talked about soccer. Roger said he was very sorry not to go to Madrid and that he wanted to see Zidane. Rafa then left for dinner, and Roger had dinner in the hotel. They saw each other again when Rafa returned to the hotel. As "Rogelio" left, they vowed to continue their discussion at the Masters Cup in Shanghai.Neither of them will be playing the Paris Masters next week, so someone other than Rafa or Roger will win the ninth Masters Series event this year.ROGELIO，好好笑，牛的名字成这个了？！？
