VIDEO: Filming The New KIA Ad Before Montreal

Question: if this was a car ad, why is there a shot of him walking? Maybe Rafa's long legs = some kind of money shot?

More important question: can I be the umbrella girl?

I love how he's still in contract with KIA even after he bought the Aston - makes an amusing contradiction.

Probably The Most Cliche Photo Shoot Rafa Has Ever Done.

A boat, open ocean, breeze billowing your unbuttoned white shirt and unchecked curly locks, huge steering wheel... What else could a man want?



This was a photoshoot for the promotional ads of the Balearic Islands, of which we all know Rafa is the ambassador.



Says the article from elmundo.es:

The tennis player Rafa Nadal manacorí began recording on a sailboat in Majorca, before leaving the Montreal Masters Series, the first part of the new promotional ad for Balearics attract tourism to the various islands for the next season.

Now tell me Rafanatics, did it in any way make you care more about the Islands?



I guess, faced with yards of Rafaskin as enticement and also distraction, yes and no.



The link to this extrordinary piece of news came from Risha, and this is for Risha, whose birthday is today.

Happy birthday Risha love, finish your thesis soon, and thank you for sharing some Rafa love with us.

Adidas Wants You To Know That They're Serious About This Soles Thing.

And speaking of the new Adidas outsoles... here's an ad to go with it. Featuring Marat smiling dorkily, the Bryan brothers, and Ernests Gulbis, who doesn't even have to try to look dorky.

Do the words "dorky" and "sexy" belong together? I think Marat have successfully fused it together.

I think this is more of damage control than anything else. Nole using Nike for Wimbledon last year was bad, bad, baaad PR by Adidas, but they really did deserve it. Omg, even *I* am getting sick of myself going on and on about this. No more. I will shut down the comm major in me.

UPDATE:

Don't say I didn't tell you so. Novak has his own advertisement for the soles. Okay, Adidas, we get it. No need to beat us upside the head with it.

I hope I'm not the only one who giggled at "CC Genius Novak Grass".

Thanks to @Out_at_sea for the notice!
