Early on Sunday, tennis start Rafa Nadal decided to have a little Q&A session with his fans on twitter. It's not uncommon to see these sorts of things, and often leads to some interesting questions.
Today would be no exception, but not for the reasons we'd normally expect. Nadal attached a hashtag to his Q&A, and it quickly began to trend. Unfortunately for the Spaniard, he may not have chosen the best hashtag to use:
First Hangout. Ask your question on the comments you'll find in one of my posts on my Google+ profile. Don't forget the hashtag #askRafa :)

When #AskRafa began to trend worldwide, it caught the eye of many Chelsea fans. Chelsea fans, as you know, generally don't care for their manager. With that in mind, here are some of my favorite questions addressed to the wrong Rafa:
I can understand terry but why mikel and hazard??? #AskRafa

@nikiwainwright #AskRafa Change of question. So Rafa, you prefer more Chelsea fans there to boo you when you get knocked out, do you?
