An Open Letter to Rafael Nadal

Dear Rafa,

Congratulations on your Wimbledon win. I think you’re an extraordinary tennis player, and your ability to get to the ball every time is a tribute to your spectacular athleticism. To round out the package, you have the most amazing biceps, making it a treat to watch you on the court for a variety of reasons.

So, why—when you have so much going for you—do you continue to do this?

My fear is that you’ll go down in history as the fabulous questionable-gesture player, and that’s just not fair to you.
