I’m clearly in the wrong profession

Rafa Nadal just reached the U.S. Open fourth round by defeating countryman Nicolas Almagro 7-5 6-4 6-4. It was tighter than the scoreline suggests. Awful match with a very inconstant Rafa committing 25 unforced errors and making only 18 winners.
In the middle of the third set, he called for a medical timeout for abdominal pain. He removed his shirt and unbuttoned his pants — for sure the most glorious three minutes of the trainer’s life. Almagro decided to use the opportunity to get himself a back rub. Cue to both players on the ground receiving assistance as the sound guy decided to pick some lolzy song choices: the ER theme and Too Sexy For My Shirt.
So, basically, if you ignore that at the handshake, Almagro asked Rafa is he was ok and the boy sort of shrugged it off and shook his head in reply… this match gave us some good times.
I’ll be in my bunk bubble praying for no more serious injures and just plainly enjoying the eyecandy.
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.
