I must have been living under a rock. Today I ended up watching Wimbledon because I could not take my eyes off this Spaniard playing Federer. If you are also under a rock, Google Rafael Nadal and you will see!!! OMG. And a nice guy, too!

;D Nadal...he plays soccer (in his off time), so he's got a bigger build. I love Rafe  I'm so happy for him, now he's one a major on grass court. |

that was one of the best ever men's finals matches i've seen!
nadal owns the clay (4 french open titles), but this is his first of many wimbledon titles...so sweet!
...also, he's been ranked #2 for 156 consecutive weeks!
here's a link to his tennis.com atp profile:
www.tennis.com/players/atp/profiles/nadal.aspx?id=10722
here's a pic...i'll go dig up some more and post them here soon.
 
and i gotta give props to federer for never giving up and showing what a class act guy he is in defeat.

 number1 you need some karma for that. roger is a great guy. i sorta missed it. they had it on, but the cardinals were on too (stupid nbc!) so they had the sound to the game not the match. instant classic that one was. i keep finding myself cursing the cardinals, when i should be cursing ksdk...

It was amazing, even John McEnroe was on the verge of tears over the drama and high level of game play, in fact, he told both of them that it was the best match he has ever witnessed. Nadal is SO sexy! Makes me wish Apolo would grow his hair a little longer. Am I the only one that sees a resemblance? Cannot wait till the US Open.
