PHOTO OP: Tipsarevic takes it off for Extreme Intimo

Can you believe Janko Tipsarevic of all ballers is following in Rafael Nadal and Fernando Verdasco's foot steps and stripping down to his skivvies for Extreme Intimo? Let me be the first to say HE'S COME A LONG WAY.

More images from the ad campaign and behind-the-scenes video after the jump - click the header.

(UPDATED) VIDEO VAULT: Steamy Spanish sex vs. sleek Swiss style - who wins?

Rafael Nadal and his infamous ass-ets pose in their Emporio Armani undies and jeans in this teaser for their upcoming commercial campaign while Roger Federer and his lovely locks pose for the renowned lens of Mario Testino during a photoshoot for sponsor Credit Suisse. 



It's not really fair to compare the two ballers and their videos. I mean, one makes you want to chomp down on some meaty chorizo while the other makes you want to open a Swiss bank account.

Case closed - at least for me.

UPDATE: Full-length Rafa here (thanks Brandy!)

VIDEO VAULT: Where's Ines Sainz when you need her?

We all know Novak Djokovic loves to sometimes show off his body (Exhibits A) and other times flash his tassel-covered niplets (Exhibit B.) So it comes as no surprise to see the sexy Serb doing push ups in his black unmentionables and taking questions draped in only a towel during a recent locker room interview. Seriously, there is a GAWD.

But next time I vote for Mexican correspondent Ines Sainz, who's embroiled in her own locker room controversy, to conduct the next interview. I'm sure we'd get the real measure of the man, and isn't that what we all really want to know?

If you prefer your Nole fully-clothed, which would make you either insane or a straight dude with a side of NOT curious, check out his model moment for sponsor Sergio Tacchini's Fall/Winter 2010 collection.

(UPDATED) PHOTO OP: X marks Verdasco's spot for Calvin Klein

Here's a first look at Fernando Verdasco in Calvin Klein's ad campaign for his new X Underwear collection. He's joined in the spots by Twilight's Kellan Lutz, True Blood's Mechad Brooks and Japanese footballer Hidetoshi Nakata.

The campaign will feature behind-the-scenes videos and interviews with the boys, as well as innovative 3D-effect versions of the adverts.

Seriously, Nando's bulge in 3-D? Now there's a fun Friday night.

UPDATE: More 2-D chorizo...

PHOTO OP: Rossie caught with his pants off

Okay - what the HELL is going on in Montreal? It's like a drunken frat party gone absolutely right.

The Bryan Brothers ran into a pantless Ross Hutchins in their hotel lobby today, snapped and then tweeted this photo.

So first Nole flashes his bikini line and now Rossie is caught running around in his boxer briefs. The BryBros said the Brit lost a bet (most likely to Team Muzz - did I say "thank you" yet?) but I'm thinking there's also something sneaky in the water and both ballers drank it. I say pass that shite around the locker room boys - cheers!

Whatever it may be doesn't change this fact: I need to book a ticket to Montreal and pack my zoom lens. Stat.

(UPDATED) PHOTO OP: Nole keeps it (in the) brief

Novak Djokovic has finally returned to his stripping ways and that can only mean one thing: HE'S BACK.

The sexy Serb hit the runway again in Montreal this time for designer Yves Jean Lacasse and again offered up little (or big?) Nole with a side of sex.

No complaints here. I mean, NONE.

*scampers off for private Nole time*

UPDATE: Thanks to vw for sending the video link to Nole's strip tease. It's always so much hotter in motion...

PHOTO OP: Rafa in his tighty-whiteys revealed, baller bod still sick

A big thanks to DtL reader Courtney for tipping me off to these revealing images of top baller Rafael Nadal.

I'm thinking these shots may have been taken at last year's Wimbledon (can anyone confirm?) but, really, who the HELL cares?

O...M...G. These shots are *catches breath* smokin' hot people.

And either his tighty-whiteys are a bit small or Rafa really fills them out in every way. But again, who the HELL cares?! His baller bod is sick.

Rafanatics rejoice!

*keeps staring + faints*

SIGHTING: Pat Rafter works Bonds' runway for Melbourne Fashion Week

Like a fine wine: Tennis Hall of Famer Pat Rafter was spotted looking casual-cool on the runway during Bonds' Pop UP Show at the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival. The Aussie star is an ambassador for the underwear label (though he sometimes doesn't wear any) and took part in the show for Melbourne Fashion Week.

Some things just get better with age...

FASHION FIX: Bjorn Borg launches Golden Age underwear collection

The Bjorn Borg global brand is on the rise, or should we say low-rise. The tennis legend launched his latest collection of underwear - Golden Age - in Sydney, Australia this week. The runway show was presented by MTV Australia's Darren MacMullen and featured a full range of men's and women's undergear.

We're kinda feeling the men's pastel undies - now we need to work on the tan, ripped body and we're all set.

Maria Sharapova loses, sports sneaky red undies

Defending champion Maria "Shriek"apova debuted her Nike day dress...and then proceeded to lose. Her tormentor: 18 year old Agnieszka Radwanska, a former junior World No. 1 from Poland. We are certainly disappointed by the loss and the fact that we won't get to see the dress, or her sneaky red undies a la Tatiana Golovin, in action at the US Open anymore. Nice touch Maria, but bad loss...
