WIMBLEDON: So Much Pretty On The Men's Side

Maybe I'm deflecting what with Rafa out of commission and all, but hot damn, when did these guys get so darned sexy?

Nole rocks a haircut and red accents by Adidas. He is through to the second round in 4 sets against Julien Beneteau, 6-7(8) 7-6(1) 6-2 6-4. He did, however, slid around on the grass more than he probably meant to. I heard more than one players were doing that on center court, so maybe (just maybe) it's not Adidas' fault after all. I suppose we'll see by Wednesday. But in the meantime, let's gaze upon the hotness that is Nole.

Nom.

You know who else is nom today? You'd never have expected this coming from me, but... Nando was looking very, very "touchable" today.

You guessed it - no more excessive hair gel! OMG ALERT VIDAL SASSOON. I want to run through my fingers in his lovely locks... and pretend it's Rafa's. Never say I'm not a loyal fan. Nando won his match against James Ward in convincing straight sets, 6-1 6-3 6-4.

And maybe James would not exactly be called pretty by us experts here in Tennis Lust, but look at those eyes and try to tell me it's not envy-inducing.

Tommy Robredo caused us a bit of a heart palpitations session by winning very tightly over Luka Gregorc 7-6(4) 6-4 5-7 7-6(3), but he wants to smooch us and we want to smooch him back, so we forgive him. Such generous creatures we are.

Sadly, the one arguably prettiest amongst the pretty lost today to Karol Beck in 5 sets, 1-6 7-5 6-3 4-6 10-8. Feli, how you disappoint us. And it's so annoying how you could be so pretty yet good pictures of you is very hard to find. Alas, we have to settle with this one.

The not so pretty one? Soderling also racked a win today.

Prettiest picture I could find of him.

Surely mere humans wouldn't be so tempting.

Spanish tennis hunks on the Spanish Elle!

Did I ever say anything bad about Nando? My bad. I'd take him in a heartbeat.

*sigh*

When did Tommy get so dreamy looking?

Ferru looks better off than on court, yes? 'Specially with the shirt off.

Unfortunately we don't really have a good picture of shirtless Almagro.
I know, it's a crime.

Does anyone ever wonder why Feli chose tennis instead of modelling?

Om nom nom nom.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love tiny, polcadot boxers? 

I don't know who that is lying on the sand, but Ferru's (huge and white) thighs are blinding me in a totally good way.

Is this the guys' version of pillow fight? A pillow case fight? 
Inquiring mind wants to know, because my appreciation is all woman.

(Not that a man's appreciation wouldn't be as strong, but that line sounds funnier in my head.) 

Tommy fought a bloody battle with the coconut tree to be on camera, and he lost.

So did Nico.

Feli is taking this photoshoot very seriously.

I swear, the first thing that popped into my head with this picture was "Baywatch".

We start with Nando and we close with Nando.
Hubba hubba and all that.

But, okay, so you got all of these men... but no Rafa. Epic fail.

Bamba, Bamba

Most of you have probably seen this, but what the hey. Rafa's karaoke session on 2007 Roland Garros for a game show.

I told you he was lying.



Hysterical!!

The interesting thing is that he needs little to no effort to switch off and let loose. I've played this vid so many times my laptop officially hates me.

Others also had their turn, but the winner for me was hands down, Llodra. 



Who's your favorite performance? Tell me!
