I THINK RAFA JUST CALLED HIM ROGELIO AGAIN GUYS, THIS IS NOT A DRILL!

This brings the evidenced instances of Rafa refering to Roger as ‘Rogelio’ to three, eventhoheabsolutelyhashisnumberinhisphoneas✨rogelio✨imeancmon.

Firstly in Spirit of a Champion, where the nickname was uttered like the moniker of a titan.

Then along came a little giggly video in 2010 (at 6:22,) where the nickname was chuckled with the affection of a cherished friend.

Then, a complete dry spell for years and years until today, where Rafael refered to Roger Federer as ‘Rogelio’ in a routine pre-tournament press conference, and it held all of the familiarity of an equal, the other part of a larger whole.
