Eye Candy: Rafael Nadal

Born in 1986, Rafael Nadal is not only younger than me, and in better cardiovascular heath to be sure, he also won Wimbledon, along with a million other matches. I have never cared much for tennis, which will surprise some of you with friends in Westport. But I fell in love with Rafael in Oxford while, over chicken curry and nan, my friends and I watched him beat the neon yellow ball, and Roger Federer, into submission for nearly six hours. That's no easy feat with Indian food in the tummy while sitting on a floor as you try to keep your butt from falling asleep. But frequent close-ups of this Spanish hottie and his arms made it a downright pleasure. Enjoy, ladies.

Great pictures! I too love Rafa. I've loved tennis for years, but Rafa's looks and the intensity he brings to the court make it all the more fun for me!
