Rafa enjoys long walks on the beach, sunrises, puppies, sharing secrets, and pillow fights. His favorite movies include "Gone with the Wind", "Titanic", and "High School Musical". Last month when his mp3 player got misplaced, a fan found that he listens exclusively to Christina Aguilera, Jessica Simpson, and Nsync. He has emphatically repeated in the past that his number one goal in life is to fall in love.
He was born into a simple home with God-fearing parents and a strong Spanish work ethic. Numerous obstacles did not prevent the indefatigable youth from conquering all. He first realized he was teen-girl-deity after winning the California Dream-Boat Tournament in straight sets.
