What do the Rafa fans say?

Just give him another month and see how his language will change even
more.

Don't be ridiculous. Nothing in Rafa's demeanor says he will become
arrogant, and the above statement was just speaking the truth, nothing
remotely arrogant about it. If anything, I want Rafa to be even more
honest than humble, this whole schtick about how Federer is still the
best player in the world flies in the face of facts and is getting
frankly very old. That's one thing I liked about Federer, he was
honest even though at times it came across as proud and arrogant. I
have no use for false modesty...

Speaking the truth for some people means arrogant.
