(UPDATED) MEDIA MASHUP: Who's got the real salsa skills, eh?

Here's a video of Rafael Nadal + Novak Djokovic during their exo today in Bogota, Columbia. You just knew they were going to pull them out on court for a bit of salsa, didn't you? Not sure if dance was contractual but, in any case, let the awkwardness begin!

Some images from the exo below and after the jump.

UPDATE: Double OMG. More of this here. Seriously, extra credit to both for flying down to Colombia a day after competing in the Indian Wells final only to put on these hats and carry those murses. Oh, and the money. They got lots of that, too. I guess it's all good.

PHOTO OP: That's no child's pose

"The things I do for money."

Here's Novak Djokovic giving us his best power shot during an exhibition with Andy Roddick in Seoul today.

Why do you make it so easy for me, Nole? Not that I'm complaining, of course, but WHY?!

It looks like I wasn't the only one enjoying the show though:

PHOTO OP: Losing my religion

"I pray that tennis becomes a shirtless sport. For my fans, of course."

Is there any better way to start the day than coming face to screen with sweaty, glistening baller flesh in the form of Fernando Verdasco? It's like the Christmas mornings of my youth. Oh Santa, you really shouldn't have but I'm so glad you did.

Here's the Spanish chorizo in his fave get up - shirtless - at the annual Thai boxing exhibition to promote the Thailand Open. He was even joined by former Top Tenner Paradorn Srichaphan.

Word of advice Fer: NEVAH change.

Seriously, how can I get his job? I promise to keep my eyes above the waistline and massage Fer's feet like he's doing. That's what he's doing right??

A few more pics of the shirtless Spaniard after the jump (you know what to do.) 

PHOTO OP: Hingis, Kournikova, Wilander and Cash get their exo on at Arthur Ashe

Anna Kournikova, Martina Hingis, Mats Wilander and Pat Cash put on a doubles exhibition on Arthur Ashe Stadium last night ahead of the Rafael Nadal-Fernando Verdasco quarterfinal match won by the top seed 7-5, 6-3, 6-4.

There was a lot of hardware on the court with Chucky, Mats and Pat combining for 13 major singles titles. As for Kourny, well, she was great at doubs back in the day, winning 2 majors with Chucky at the Aussie Open, and now is great at doing stuff like this:

Listen. It pays the bills. More images from last night's exo below...

PHOTO OP: Clijsters beats Serena at "Best of World" event, sets new attendance record

The "Best of Belgium" exhibition event, renamed the "Best of World" after Justine Henin was replaced by Serena Williams in the match due to an elbow injury, set a new world record for attendance at a tennis match with 35,681 spectators surpassing the previous record of 30,472 set by the "Battle of the Sexes" match in 1973 featuring Billie Jean King + Bobby Riggs.

Kimmie defeated an injured ReRe (foot) 6-3, 6-2 with 18-time Grand Slammer Martina Navratilova serving as chair umpire and Roland Garros champ Francesca Schiavone making a surprise appearance.

"I was here often as a little girl to come and watch football," said Kimmie referring to her late father, Leo, who played soccer in the stadium. "That I can actually play here is very special and emotional. I said to myself a few times: 'Remember this moment well.'"

The event, held at King Baudouin Stadium, raised money for charity and marked Belgium's 6-month presidency of the European Union. It concluded with a concert and fireworks.

PHOTO OP: Rafa gets gritty at the Molitor

Check out this awesome photo set of an exhibition featuring Rafael Nadal (apparently hitting a one-handed back hand return) and a couple of young ballers at the Molitor, an abandoned swimming pool near Roland Garros.

I'm loving everything about this exhibition including the gritty locale and the graffiti on the walls featuring Rafa's likeness. It's a bit reminiscent of one of the tourney scenes from Top Spin 3 for Wii. I'm not sure what those headless, polo-wearing mannequins are doing in the last pic, though. A make-shift audience crowd, perhaps?

More shots over at the Roland Garros site.
