ReplyDeleteThere was all kind of joking, ribbing, shorts-pulling (Novak, who else, comming slyly behind Sergio Garcia's back at the soccer pitch and pulling his shorts all the way down to his knees!).
Wow, Rafa is sure purdy at the press line. Sweet.
Haha classic Nole!
ReplyDeleteRafa is sweeter than honey as always.
Oh and Rich I totally agree, David "Speedy" Ferrer does look much better off court than on court.
ReplyDeleteRafa's looking damn fine, as per youz. I'm loving his leather jacket moments these days, esp paired with the preppy gear. Yowza! Although I'm not sure I'm completely onboard with the layered hairdo. Hmm. Whatever he's still amazing to look at, obvies :)
ReplyDeleteNole's looking so cheery and hot, loving it. And I completely agree about Ferrer!! I've always thought he was more of a hottie in street clothes. Maybe because I think he comes off looking short on the court...does anyone know what I'm talking about?? He looks miniature when he's playing!
Thanks for the post!
Exactly johanne, that's what I'm always thinking, too! David looks so tiny on the court! I dunno what makes the difference really, but tennis shorts apparently kinda dwarf him. And the whole bandana thing doesn't help. For some reason, it makes him look like a little Samurai wannabe. Dunno why he can't pull that off as well as Rafa and Rog.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't know what could be an alternative though, can't really imagine him with a basecap either...
I think it's also because David is 5'9" according to his ATP profile so that's pretty small these days next to these guys who are at least 6'1" and with some 6'5" and 6'6" thrown in the mix. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteBut think he's done well considering the size difference - the boy is speedy!
Maybe Speedy Dave should just sport a ponytail or something? No bandana, just pull his hair back. I think that would look good on him.
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah, 5'9" is def on the shorter side these days...but he definitely makes it work for him. I hope he has a good start to the new season. Besides Davis Cup, he seemed to have a so-so 2nd half :(
