Seeking to break the monotony that is training, Rafa and Richard resort to a fun game of mirroring each other's movements and expressions, and soon come to realise that in the event of the relentless pursuing of a certain Mr Tendinitis or Miss Pamela, they could very well retire into mime.

Rafael :I heard Malaysia's hospitality is truly awesome! I would love to play in a tennis tournament there soon.
Richard: Yes, you should! Malaysia is indeed a hub for die-hard tennis fans. You would blend in nicely.
Rafael:I surely wish I could choose to play tennis in Malaysia soon.I'm longing for a vibrant atmosphere.
Richard:I wonder when this match would end. I got to go to the airport soon. I’m flying to my favorite destination, Malaysia!

Richie: Shut it,man.Just shut it.

Richard: whoa look at those nice guys on the bench there...

Rafa: Hey Dick, how are things coming along? I hope that drug and stripper thing ain't getting you down.
Rick: Whoa whoa, wait a minute. What did you just call me?
Rafa: Dick
Rick: Now you're being funny aren't you?
Rafa: What, am not. C'mon, that's what people call you these days. They all say you're a total dick.
Rick: .... (stumped, pissed, and looking away)
(Note: Dick is a variant form or nickname for Richard.)

Rafa: Buddy, I've been wondering, why are you wanting to play in Malaysia next month?
Rick: Well, I've always felt I'd blend in nicely there.
Rafa: How's that?
Rick: You know I was there two years ago. I once ran out of soap in my hotel bathroom so I called up housekeeping and guess what, the hotel had the room service guy bring a bowl of hot chicken soup!
(Rafa and Rick both having a jolly good laugh)
Rick: Then I told 'em it's "savon" and they brought the soap right away. Guess people in Malaysia do know a thing or two about French. I'd be very happy to go back there again.
Rafa: Yeah right. But then I'm sure if you ask for stuff like cocaine in Thailand people there will get it right for you too, no?
Rick: .... (stumped, pissed and looking away)
("Savon" in French sort of rhymes with "Sabun" in Malay.)

Rafa: Is it true that you are playing in Malaysia next month?
Rick: Yeah, nice country, you been there before you know that. At least in Malaysia I know when I go into a bar and strike up a conversation with a lady chances are she's not a boy. I've heard it's a lot harder to tell in Thailand, why don't you go and see for yourself next month?! (Laughing out loud)
Rafa: Haha aye. But seriously, you do know Malaysia's a Muslim country right?
Rick: So?
Rafa: Just watch out man. Don't get yourself into trouble again ok?
Rick: What exactly are you getting at?
Rafa: I'm just saying, in Malaysia, you can't simply kiss a woman on her lips even though there's no drug on them.
Rick: Gee, you think that is funny?
Rafa: No it's not when you get stoned by the locals.
Rick: .... (looking away and pondering: Can't talk to this Spanish bull can I?)
Rafa: .... (looking away and pondering: Frenchmen may be romantic, but they certainly take things too personally.)
Greetings again from Johor Bahru

Rafa: I heard that you will come to Malaysia next month.
Rick : Yeap..
Rafa : Make sure you use PROTECTION while you play there...
Rick : Ya heard it too.. But you also have to use personal PROTECTION while you "PLAY".. The Thai chicks are awesome...If you know what i'm meaning...

Just for the fun of it!
Rafa is squaring off against Rick in the US Open 1st round. He's racking his brains to demoralise his opponent before the match.
Rafa: (feigning ignorance) I heard this "cheese-eating zoolander monkeys" phrase about the French on TV last night. What does it mean?
Rick: Oh, .... (sporting a broad smile) well, it means the French love to drink wine, eat cheese and are as bright and lively as the monkeys in the zoo.
Rafa: (grinning) Oh yeah?
Rick: (determined to get back at Rafa) By the way, why do you people love to eat the testicles of the bulls that lose the bullfight. Haven't Spanish men got their own balls?
Rafa: .... (stumped, like an enraged bull, looking away)
Rick: Yuck! This water tastes like shXt, I'll bet it's from Spain.
Rafa: .... (thinking: another word and I'll smash his head in with my racket!)
(Note: 1. "Cheese-eating surrender monkeys" is a derogatory remark about the French, coined by the Simpsons. 2. Apparently Rafa has difficulty pronouncing it.)
