New York cover boy Rafael Nadal: 'Beefcake in the backcourt'

Add a Comment

August 18, 10:56 PM

by Liz Barrett, Celebrity News Examiner

New York magazine editors are gaga over Fall Fashion cover boy, Rafael Nadal. The way they compare him to the guy he vanquished is simple. They invite us to take a long look at the bare-chested cover shot and then ask ourselves: "Would Roger Federer ever pose for a photo like that?"

Point taken.

Federer and Nadal, in many ways, are perfect foils. All-court finesse versus baseline power, fluid grace versus relentless will, Swiss precision versus Majorcan passion. And that opposition extends to their sense of style. Even if you’ve never watched a minute of their epic matches, a single glance at, say, the photo of them posing at net before the Wimbledon 2008 final would tell you all you needed to know. Federer wears a herringbone-patterned cashmere cardigan, emblazoned with a royal RF logo, and loose white shorts; Nadal is in a sporty sleeveless Nike-emblazoned top and shorts so long they’re practically Capris.

Yeah, we like his style too. Let's just say it. That guy is hot.
