Tomorrow will take place the singles final and the Princes are expected to attend the games of Rafael Nadal and Carlos Moyá, against Mardy Fish and Andy Roddick, respectively.

I love Felipe and Letizia but they seem to be "bad luck" at Spain's international sporting events. Spain always seems to lose whenever they show up for the match.

Hmm. That´s not good to hear. I wonder if it was cold in the arena where the match was? Letizia wears a scarf and coat the whole time.

Even though I am an American, I am glad that Spain won--just to see the expression on the faces of Felipe and Letizia was a victory.

Since I did get the "Acess Denied" message as well, I decided to attach the pictures.

One opinion about Letizia, she's really a funny cheer....

 

[Anna_R]

Second batch. Thank you Lucys!

The one where Felipe is embracing Letizia is so cute. I'm gonna use that as my wallpaper.

Shotnews has a few more images from the Davis Cup. Some are similar to others so I won't post them, but here are a few. Hopefully the links will work because I don't know how to do the thumbnails that others post.

Also, a Corbis photographer took some shots from a really odd angle--below them and shooting up--and super close up, but they are actually really neat photos--very different. The last of the four I posted is particularly striking--you'd never know it was taken in a stadium with 27,000+ screaming tennis fans.

It´s great to see them get into the action of the match. And it was easy for the Davis Cup since it was so important and there were so many people in the stadium.
