Breaking all the girls' (and boys') hearts
April 22nd, 2009 • holy rafa
I wonder if it’s possible for a tennis player to have an off-court clothing sponsor. We’re all familiar with Sharapova‘s Canon, Colgate, etc. And all the various tennis players (Sharapova, Ivanovic, Federer, Henin, to name a few) with Rolex contracts. But isn’t it odd that Rafa wore two Tommy Hilfiger shirts in the same tournament? Maybe he just likes nice polos and is sad he can’t wear Lacoste‘s. Either way, to the boy that used to wear sleveless’ and pirate pants, he sure as hell looks nice in classic tennis apparel.
The book he has in the second picture is “Play, set and game” (Juego, set y partido) inspired by his life and written by Jordi Sierra i Fabra. It can be bought here at Casa Del Libro.
This picture at Barcelona serves no real purpose to the Wonderful World of Tennis but it deserved to be posted. Not because of the blatantly obvious homoerotic context, Rafa‘s muscles abilities or his famuz azz. But because the dude is so obviously staring and licking his lips at the same time. Which really, I’m sure even some tennis fangirls (not me) would be able to be more discreet.
Answer: I have tried and failed several times to keep blogs up. Why? Because I don’t like doing serious journalism unless there’s money showing up in my bank account — and there wasn’t. This blog will have no interest in being impartial or, you know, actually talking about the sport (ok, maybe from time to time). There are tons of other blogs (and news websites) that do this job pretty well already. Here we will discuss the shallow part: the outfits, the gossip, the outrages and who Fernando Verdasco is currently dating.
We really cherish this site. Iwish I could come here everyday\all day.
