    Hi Oca! I´ve found your text amazing, i think it´s one of the best texts of the year becase it´s talks about a very famous spanish tennis player that has won many tennis awards, and has been the number one of the world for a long time. Other good think of the text is( like Gloria has said before),that you put a photo of a graphic that show us that Rafa is one of the best players in the world.
    Good job and congratulations!!!
