“I’m not Sharapova,” confirmed Rafael Nadal on Sunday when questioned on his fashion sense. In his press conference following a straight-sets fourth-round win over Feliciano Lopez, the Spaniard was sporting a Nike training top with a fetching ‘RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAFA’ logo on it, and was asked whether he has any say in such designs. “Maria is doing,” said the Spaniard. “I am just say[ing], I like; I don’t like.” Fortunately for the No. 2 seed, he liked what he was given, even if he doesn’t quite remember giving it the green light. “We arrived here, I saw the t-shirt, and I didn’t remember that I approved that. But anyway, I like it. If not, I wouldn’t wear it.”
