(UPDATED) VIDEO VAULT: Rafa practices with Nando, cuts the lovely locks



Rafael Nadal + Fernando Verdasco came together for a practice session at the "Magic Box" venue in preparation for the Madrid Masters 1000 tourney next week.

So the Rafalocks are def shorter. Personally, I think it was time for him to get a cut.


Love it or leave it?

DO TELL!


UPDATE: Check out Nadal News for more shots of Rafa at the practice session with his newly-cropped 'do!

Rafa always looks good....short hair, long hair, blond, brown whatever!

In the freeze frame of the video at the beginning, does it look like a borderline hairy situation, like it's all jacked up in the back?

I don't even think it was his decision.. they keep trying to change him....
I'm hurt :(

CC said...

Rich I agree, definitely time for a haircut. He'll look good in anything.

Pamela said...

Glad he finally cut it, but I'd like to see it without the headband and drenched in sweat.

Sabine said...

It think it looks great! I wasn't a big fan of the long hair. I want to see it in action, to get a better image of what it looks like :)

Kirsten said...

leave it, definitely.

Richie...you're back!!! :'''D (that's me weeping with joy)

I would much rather see Rafa drenched in sweat than not. That means I'm doing my job correctly. ;)

The hair reminds me of Federer's. It looks fine, but that was my first thought. Kinda like he's emulating his idol. However...if Rafa starts hanging out with Ana Wintour, I'll be scared and need someone to hold me.

I think i'm gona hang myself!

Vera said...

He'll always be Rafa. Long hair, short hair, long sleeves, naked, whatever! It's still the same champion. :)

Way cute! Before it seemed in this inbetween state, not sure whether to be long or short. I like that he went for the cut but do admit some nostalgia for his previous lion's mane.

He should get a crew cut!

I miss the long hair. I really do. That's what made him stand out. He's still a cutie with or without it though.

I think we can all attest to him getting maturer by the day.

OH no! oh No! Oh well, at least it isn't a mohawk! It's nice, actually. I'd only be concerned if he shaved his head but this isn't so bad.
