Baby Rafa Cheers as Dad Rafael Nadal Wins Madrid Open [PHOTOS]

The support seemed to fuel his performance as he effortlessly cruised to a 6-1, 6-0 victory over American teenager Darwin Blanch in the first round of the Madrid Open on Thursday.
It was a match that highlighted the stark age gap between the two opponents,…

some highlights from the uts roundtable with casper, alex, and domi:
casper did not stop talking ever. alex fended for himself pretty well but domi could barely get a word in
the entire beginning was just casper talking about how special it is to be a clay courter and threw some shade at some typical hard court players (hubi and taylor specifically)
he tried to get domi to join his clay agenda but domi just kinda laughed shyly and didn't say anything
there was a solid fifteen minutes where casper was going on and on about like every aspect of rafa's game. at one point he was talking about rafa's backhand and alex suddenly compared it to... jannik
casper jumpscaring alex with the mention of the toronto final
"semifinals... of us open juniors... against... TOMMY PAUL" - alex de minaur, king of suspense
casper attempting to convince alex and domi that you should keep tennis points for two years instead of one???
casper spending five minutes hating on bercy
alex saying tournaments should take breaks in certain countries to make them miss tennis and talking about how excited everyone in australia gets during the australian swing
domi starting one (1) talking point
"I haven't played that many matches at wimbledon so I wouldn't know" - casper

Closing Arguments - Barisi Fan Fiction
Sonny Carisi is conflicted about the outcome of a court case.
[ ←Previous Work ]
Standing at the top of the courthouse steps, Sonny Carisi heaved a sigh as he looked out across the square. As much as a breath of fresh air revived him, he could dismiss the misgivings he had about exiting the building.
"Hey," Barba said, pulling Carisi's attention away with a friendly pat on the back, "let's go."
"We shouldn't be leaving," Carisi replied as he watched the assistant district attorney begin to descend the steps.
Pausing in his stride and turning around, Barba remarked, "Detective, the court is in recess. And I need some coffee. You coming or not?"
Hesitant, Carisi shifted nervously.
"Sonny," Barba practically barked, "come on."
Reluctantly, Carisi followed. His, and the rest of the Special Victims Unit’s efforts for the past month had been focused on not only finding probable cause for arresting Major Simmons but ensuring he would be convicted as well. It wasn't every day that a humble NYPD officer was permitted to pursue a case against a high ranking military member. Consequently, this case could make or break Carisi's career. A lot was riding on the court's ruling.
His mind was churning over potential scenarios of how the day might play out, and Carisi hardly noticed where he was going as he trailed behind Barba. It seemed as though the prosecutor was hardly bothered as he nonchalantly stopped at a food cart and ordered a coffee.
"Do you want anything?" Barba asked. "My treat."
When Carisi did not immediately respond, he pressed again.
"Carisi, can I get you something?"
"No, Counselor," he replied, stuffing his hands into his pockets. "I'm fine."
Handing over a few paper bills to the vendor as Barba graciously accepted the paper cup filled with the steaming beverage.
"Come," the ADA said, grabbing the detective by the elbow and pulling him alongside him, "let's go for a walk."
Grumbling, Carisi relented and fell in step with Barba.
Taking a tentative sip of his drink first, Barba asked, "Do you want to tell me what is bothering you? This case is rock solid. There is no need to act like a nervous nelly. I've got this. Or do you not have confidence in my ability to try this case?"
"No, that's not it," Carisi answered.
"Then what is it?"
Finding himself unable to put it into words, the junior detective held off from answering.
"Sonny," Barba pushed again, "what is it?"
"I'm worried what will happen when you win this case."
"I'm paid to win cases, not to lose them. And why would you be worried? Do you think Simmons would retaliate against me or SVU?"
"No," Carisi mumbled. "It's just..."
"Just what?"
Glancing around to see who was around them, Carisi didn't want anyone overhearing what he was about to say.
"If you win this case, Counselor, it would make it very difficult for me to justify to myself, or anyone else for that matter, the reasons why I want to leave the NYPD."
"You want to leave SVU?" Barba questioned, a stunned hesitation in his tone.
"No," Carisi replied emphatically. "But I also pursued a law degree for a reason. And now that I've passed the bar, the reality of leaving a secure job to barrel headfirst into the unknown is terrifying. Additionally, attaching this high-profile conviction to my record as an officer and justifying a departure becomes more difficult."
"I'm confused," Barba quipped. "You say you don't want to leave SVU. But from the sounds of it, you also think you should. What are you so conflicted about?"
Stopping in his tracks, Carisi eyed the shorter man. Barba's bright hazel green eyes were keen with interest below his hooded brow, as the occasional fleck of gray in a sea of dark brown hair glinted in the sun. Though there was an age difference between them, Carisi couldn't help but feel a strong emotional connection to the ADA.
"If I stay at SVU, Rafa," he finally admitted, "we can't be together."
Sighing, Barba rolled his eyes and said, "Oh," before walking away.
"Oh? That's all you have to say?" Carisi replied, quick to catch up with the prosecutor.
"You're being dramatic for no damn reason," Barba retorted. "We're together now, and it has had no impact on your standing within your unit. In fact, and I am one-hundred percent positive about this, it would also not have any impact if you allowed us to be open about our relationship."
"You're not a cop," Carisi explained. "You have no idea how gay men are treated within the NYPD."
"Please," Barba scoffed. "As if being an openly queer man in any government job is easy."
"It would be a lot easier if I quit SVU and pursued a career as an attorney."
"Listen, Sonny, if that's what you want to do, I'll support you. But if you're going to stay with SVU, if you find your work as a detective fulfilling, I am willing to support you in that decision as well. But if your justification for leaving a job you love is because you want to come out of the closet, then I'm not okay with that. And, I'm telling you, Liv will understand. She will be your biggest ally. With her on your side, the rest of the team will fall in line."
"I'm just...," Carisi said with trepidation, "I'm just not ready yet."
Resting his hand on his boyfriend's arm, Barba gave it a tentative squeeze and replied, "I know, Sonny. I know. And it's okay."
Hanging his head, Carisi blinked away the moisture that had gathered in the corners of his eyes. He should be more careful about bringing up this sort of subject, especially in public.
"You hungry, Detective?" Barba asked, resuming the facade of professionalism. "Let me buy you a hotdog."
A smile colored Carisi's lips as he replied, "I thought you hated hot dogs. You said they are disgusting because they're made from the least appetizing parts of a pig."
"And I stand by that assessment. However, a Staten Island boy like you isn't bothered by such inconsequential facts, are you?"
"Well," Carisi admitted, his stomach growling, "it's better than relying on chemical stimulates like caffeine to get you through the day."
Rolling his eyes in response once more, Barba led the detective over to a nearby food cart.
"One hotdog, please," Barba said, pulling out his wallet. "Mustard and onions only."
"How did you know?" Carisi asked.
"I pay attention," Barba returned with a wink, taking the paper encased snack and handing it off to his boyfriend.
Somewhat placated, Sonny took a bite and savored the rich flavors washing over his palate. Next to him, Barba sipped at his coffee and glanced down at his watch.
"Hurry up, detective, we've got to get going. I don't want to make a bad last impression showing up late for closing arguments."
Nodding, Carisi took a bigger bite as he and Barba began to walk back towards the courthouse. Chewing quickly as they went, he swallowed. However, the detective soon figured out that that particular bite was a bit too big. Coughing against the food lodged in his throat, dread washed over Carisi as he realized it was stuck.
The remains of his food dropped to the ground as Carisi stopped in his tracks. Reaching up to tug at his collar, his eyes went wide.
Having noticed the discarded hotdog, Barba turned to look at his detective.
"Carisi, you okay?"
Sonny shook his head 'no' as he was unable to speak.
Quick to action, Barba's cup of coffee was hastily discarded on the ground, its contents splashing on the pavement. After placing a hand on the detective's chest, the ADA held Carisi steady as he placed coordinated blows across the detective's back.
"Sonny!" the prosecutor said as he tried to prevent his boyfriend from choking to death.
When his actions did not result in the food becoming dislodged, Barba had no other choice but to get behind Carisi. Placing his hands together in a fist, he performed a couple of abdominal thrusts.
Sputtering, the bit of hot dog flew from his throat and landed on the asphalt in front of them with a soft splat.
"He okay?" a passerby inquired.
"He's fine," Barba replied as he gently patted the detective on his back.
Still partial doubled over, his hands on his knees, Carisi attempted to recapture his breath. When finally he straightened back up, he was met with the very concerned face of his boyfriend.
"You okay, Sonny?"
"I'm fine. Just a bit of a scare,” Carisi replied, wiping at his now watering eyes.
"You're scared? I just nearly killed my boyfriend after buying him a dangerous hotdog and then outing him by dry humping him in public."
Rolling his eyes, Carisi smacked Barba jovially in the chest and replied, "Come on, Rafael. You said you didn't want to be late for closing arguments."

though i imagine him having a more violent and less clculated outlook like RR! Donnie has. He's worried about his kid, and he's willing to K I L L to save him. also maybe he snatches 12 Casey bc he thinks it's Jr and he takes him to his nest and gets confused but happy 'TWO BABIES?!' [bonus points will be if Rafa is also refered to as momma or mama]
Asdfghjklasdfghjkl "TWO BABIES" yesssss
EDIT: AU where its Raph who's hiding out at the docks and instead of RR!18!Donnie nearly killing RR!12!Casey a Feral Raph kidnaps 12!Casey (and fights whoever 12!Casey is with) because he thinks Casey Jr wandered out of the nest
WAIT DOES THIS MEAN JUNIOR IS ALSO FERAL? Can he be feral? Asdfghjkladhj QUESTIONS

serving up 5 and 11 for the tennis ask!
5. are you superstitious when it comes to tennis?
not really, except for not wanting to jinx players by saying stuff online sometimes haha
BUT on a related note, i do apparently have an aunt who used to be crazy superstitious about rafa back in the day. like i heard she would pray the rosary for him every match
11. do you support players from your own country? why/why not?
yes! so for some context in the philippines, we’re generally very big about national pride in sports (and in. literally anything) bc. we don’t get a lot of famous athletes or people in general skdhdkdjsk it’s nice to have international news talking abt us for something other than typhoons & shitty government 💀
in tennis, we have just one fairly good player right now. her name is alex eala and she won the junior uso in 2022 and graduated from the nadal academy!! anyway she’s still very young but i’m rooting for her always <3

What is Rafa and Carisi's relationship going to be in your fic?
...somewhat contentious?? Like bantering like they do in Canon but bc Rafa doesn't leave after Undiscovered Country, he does end up mentoring him when he first makes the switch to junior ADA and Carisi is utterly bemused and flustered when he's told that 'Barba called him' lol
Rafa and the squad are determined to make the bit last as long as possible so Carisi has no idea that Rafa and Liv are married until he decides to kiss her at work

What are your thoughts on Rafole? I fell down a rabbit hole on everything regarding them and their relationship and it’s very interesting how they went from being quite close to not…
My darling I love u but I'm trying to stay djoko-free and drama-free so I'm rlly not the best person to ask this hahahaha. Either way I don't think I'm qualified to speak about their relationship simply because I don't know much about it? I'll give my best perception but honestly take it with a kilo of salt lol. I seem to remember there was a falling out over Djokovic's father at some point (or was that with Federer?)
All I know is Novak's relationship with Rafa wasn't the only one that kinda suffered this fate. I don't think Novak was ever close with Roger to begin with, but pretty sure him and Murray used to be quite good mates (they were kinda childhood friends on the tour and played doubles) but that kinda fizzled out in the end. Nadal, Djokovic, Murray were kind of a strange teenager friend group at some point, simply I assume cause they're basically just from the same generation on the tour (they played together since juniors as well) and used to play video games n football together i think.
A bit strange cause I don't think Rafa and Andy's friendship ever really got strained. But then again it's completely understandable within an environment as competitive as them (considering the Nadal-Djokovic rivalry is much more competitive and tbf to Andy maybe, I too would find it difficult to be besties with somebody who beat me 6 times in an AO final 😭).
Don't think there's any point in guessing round the dynamics of the men's tour's locker room throughout the years. It definitely is fascinating, tennis is prob the only sport where you have to share locker rooms with your rivals every day of the year, something here and there are bound to happen, I guess. I bet you there are a shiton of gossips more scandalous than the royal family there throughout the 2000s but I also guess that there's a kind of unspoken code of conduct that you shouldn't ever talk about it? Which is why even the retired players never really did (look at A-Rod he's the biggest gossiper there is even he never said anyth about shits going down in the locker room lol).
Whether it was simply them growing up, having families, becoming more serious in their careers and hence more competitive with each other then grew apart or was there an actual internal friction/conflict I don't really know. Not that we'd ever know for sure I think, they'll prob never ever disclose it for PR reasons (maybe when they're retired). For me, Djokovic seems like quite a lone wolf on tour (?) which is quite sad, but maybe that's the way he prefers to stay competitive. He generally seems to have a kind of joker persona that's either well-liked or a bit divisive n he seems close with his Serbian countrymen although never really to the level of friendship with any specific one of them like Nadal did with Marc Lopez or Federer did with Wawrinka. This is all just my perception of course n could be 1000% wrong.
Anyhow, as the two remaining of the big 3 and looking at the way they interact (in laver cup and in charity matches in the AO for instance) i think it's obv that their relationship has grown into one of massive respect for one another, there's still a hint of kind of an old banter there sometimes (look at when they partnered up for the AO relief last year), but it doesn't seem like they have much of a personal relationship nowadays beyond that of respectful, competitive rivals who drove each other at the last leg of their careers.
Rafa and Andy are different tho, quite evident in the way Rafa invited him to his insta live and them interacting by challenging each other to play playstation afterwards. Even in Novak and Andy's insta live, I seem to remember there was a section where Novak said he was actually really glad to be able to do this instalive with him cause they "never had the chance to talk about this kind of things (personal stuffs) before" seemingly kinda hinting that they've been cordial and friendly these days but they never really ✨️ held each other's hands✨️ if u know what i mean lol.
Ok i could do a full on analysis of their interactions or instalives but this will take me 5 lifetimes lol. All in all, I just wanna be honest that I don't, emm how do i put this, really get Djokovic? I can't seem to get a read on him as a person, which is quite strange. I read politicians' faces for a living and I feel like you can always tell what someone is like based on their public persona a little bit cause nobody can hide that well without injecting a bit of themselves into their PR front (Federer is like the most PR perfect guy ever but even sometimes he slips up). Djokovic is just... really hard to read? Although ppl see him as the joker etc I always kinda feel that he's a very closed off person, at least with his personal thoughts. I don't really know what's going through his mind when he does certain things sometimes. But hey, each to their own right?
Again anon, you have alas triggered again this aimless rambling of mine, but there you go, one must eat the fruit that they've picked, (What even is this saying lol, sorry!)
#ah ok my jstor rambling is triggered a bit lol#srsly are u guys even interested in this kind of long asks lol#tennis#djokovic#nadal

MOVING IN
Fandom: law and order: SVU
Pairings: Rafael Barba x Sonny Carisi
Words: 793
Prompt: I can’t believe I’m doing this
"I can't believe I'm doing this." Sonny said as he walked into Rafael's- their apartment.
He looked over at the older man, a smile painted both of their faces. Rafael placed a box on the floor next to the couch and turned towards him.
"Why, is it really that bad?" He teased.
Sonny felt his face heat up, he must have looked like a cherry tomato at this point. The older man smirked at him.
"I just can't believe I'm actually doing it Rafi. I'm just really happy." Rafael walked towards his junior, wrapping his arms around his waist.
"I think that's all the boxes." Sonny replied, talking into his boyfriends neck.
"Now just to reorganize the entire apartment huh?"
They started into the boxes, Sonny never realized how difficult it was to mix your things with someone else's.
"What are you doing?" Rafael ask cautiously as Sonny took books out of a box.
"I'm organizing books." The younger man replied, confused.
"Then why is Catcher in the Rye above Anne of Green gables?" He asked with a quirked brow.
Sonny recoiled at his accusatory tone. The younger man turned to face his senior.
"It's red, that's why." Rafael's eyes widened, he put a hand on his hip.
Sonny had gotten an ear full, according to Rafa it was 'absolutely ridiculous to organize your books by colour' and that 'the only acceptable way is to; organize alphabetically by genre, then alphabetically inside each genre', not including 'the'.
Sonny wouldn't say it was ridiculous per say, he just liked how the colours looked all organized together.
After the book incident they made their way to the kitchen which also seemed to be quite the can of worms.
"Okay," Sonny said clapping his hands, "where are your spices?"
"I got a spice rack right here." He smiles.
Rafael walked over to a small cupboard and opened the door. Sonny looked absolutely appalled at the sight.
The spice rack was a league of its own. They'd both been raised in families full of flavours and spices. So it was much to the younger man's surprise that Rafael tried to pass of two measly jars on a shelf as a 'spice rack'.
Sonny had scoffed and laughed with abandon before pulling over a full box dedicated to spices. That was one of the only things he'd been a stickler about. He had a magnetic sheet that stuck to one side of the fridge the other side was for spices.
Each one had its own label, backstory and specific spot on the sheet. Rafael had been more than accommodating though, he was the first person to actually show interest in Sonny's family's cooking.
"Wait a minute, how's Italian oregano different from regular oregano?"
"Italian oregano is actually Italian oregano thyme. There's like five different types of thyme. Nonna said to always have both, just in case."
Rafael quite enjoyed watching Sonny kneel down in the corner of the kitchen, talking about spices.
The little things fell into place almost seamlessly. The last thing they had to figure out was how exactly the bedroom would work. They each had their own sheets and pillows and blankets and nicknacks.
"I just dont get it Sonny. Why do we need the three puffy blankets and one twenty pound one? It's seems counter productive." The younger man rolled his eyes.
"You do the soft one next to the skin because it's a nice texture, then the puffy one cus it's nice and because it softens the blow of the weighted blanket. The other one goes on top cus it’s fluffy and it looks nice." Rafael stared at him quizzically but complied none the less.
"Sonny!" Rafael called out.
"Yeah." The younger man replied.
"What's this." Sonny made his way over to Rafael who was held up in the bathroom.
"What's what?"
Rafael stared at him in a mix of judgment and confusion. He pointed beside the sink.
"This." Sonny looked over at the bathroom counter.
"That's my hairbrush."
"Why does it have a princess on it? Are you hiding something Mr. Carisi?" He asked playfully.
Sonny chuckled in return.
"My niece got it for my birthday, she likes to watch movies with me and she remember that I said I liked Jasmine the best cus she had a tiger. If you really don't like it I can find a new place for it." He said timidly. Rafael blinked and came closer.
"I think it'll grow on me, we all need a touch of whimsy huh?" The younger man laughed in agreement.
After cleaning their new home and organizing all their things they went to bed. As it turns out Rafael really did enjoy the weighted blanket.
Thank you so so so much to my spectacular beta-reader @buggylad

Weird writer questions (randomized)
3,8,12,28,32,
Ahhh this took me a bit because I had to think through all the quotes I wanted to include, haha.
3. What is your writing ritual and why is it cursed?
To be most successful I feel like I have to do it first thing in the morning on just coffee. Some times yes to music (but it has to be the perfect vibe for the story), other times silent. And I really need to turn off all sorts of chat type things.
OR
That like.... middle of the night clarity sort of writing when the rest of the world is asleep and you just hit a flow.
They're all cursed because I am 1. not a morning person, so wtf how does that work??? and 2. hitting a flow is great but then its 4am and I have a 9am meeting I have to be human for, lolol.
8. If you had to write an entire story without either action or dialogue, which would you choose and how would it go?
Ohhhh.... I would enjoy both, but dialogue I think? And just all filth, lol. Straight up dirty talk porn, I think.
12. If a genie offered you three writing wishes, what would they be? Btw if you wish for more wishes the genie turns all your current WIPs into Lorem Ipsum, I don’t make the rules
The ability to mind dump the images and flow and dialogue and movie scenes I see in my head straight to the page without needing to type anything out.
The mental fortitude to finish things
Motivation. LOL
28. Who is the most delightful character you’ve ever written? Why?
Ohhhhh, who is entirely mine???
Ok, well fanfic-wise, Ava, Rafa's cousin in the Full Ratchet universe, who no one has met yet because she's only in stuff I've planned. She's a ton of fun. And Mike McKinnon, the other ADA from The Full Ratchet, that she normally works with.
(Do dogs count? Because then also Junior & Socks from the Lawyer Club Sandwich w/Italian Sausage universe with @lannister-slings-and-arrows, too LOL)
From my own personal work? (stuff no one has ever seen and only lives in my head, LOL), Gustav, who pretends to be the main character's uncle in this fantasy trilogy I have planned out. He takes her in after she just lands in the world and brings her with him to her life in the palace. But it turns out he is actually also from our world, he's just been there long enough that no one questions him. He's fun. He's a bit wild, throws huge parties, plays chess with the main male character/love interest.
32. What is a line from a poem/novel/fanfic etc that you return to from time and time again? How did you find it? What does it mean to you?
This is by no means the only quote from literature that I love, but one I think of often when I need to pump myself up is from Henry V: "We'll bend them to our awe, or break them all to pieces."
From fanfic? Listen. I can not even begin to say how obsessed I am with 29 Songs. I re-read it ALL the fucking time. The storytelling, and the incredibly well crafted emotions and build up. But there's two quotes I think about a lot:
From Chapter 11:
Sonny was about to push himself up into a sitting position to seize that smirking mouth once more, but Barba surprised him by swinging a leg over him and straddling high on his thighs. Sonny drank in the sight of him, beautiful in the dappled morning light, soft and naked and sumptuously formed. He wanted to touch him, to drag his hands along his body and take in the shape of him, to spit in his hand and palm their dicks together, to feel the slide of Barba's thick cock against his own. He wanted to grip his firm thighs and sink into his round, luscious ass. More than anything, he wanted to spend several sunlit days pressed against him, kissing him.
Like -- "soft and naked and sumptuously formed" GAHHH. And then after all that filth: "More than anything, he wanted to spend several sunlit days pressed against him, kissing him."
The contrast and the language. Fuck yes.
And from Chapter 15:
He had the absurd thought that fucking Rafael Barba was what Plato had imagined when he described leaving the cave.
I... I just. GOD can I not even tell you how much I fucking love this line. Like, the reference? It's just so good???? And then to use it like this in this context? God.
Like FUCK ME I wish I wrote like this. So big, massive shout out to that fic & it's author. They're a genius. Any Barisi fans who haven't read it need to immediately.
