To want to slap Nadal?

First he towels himself off. Then he fiddles with his crotch- followed by hoisting his sleeves up, adjusting his hairband then touching his nose and ears...

FOR FUCK'S SAKE JUST PLAY TENNIS!!!!!!

By the way since when are the towels full blown let's-have-a-shower towels?
I swear they weren't this big at Wimbledon.

Nice to watch though eh? And the towels must be aspirational - you too could shower with Nadal.

It's probably weird routine stuff. All the professional athletes I know (one) have odd routines and have to do things in order. Very superstitious your pro athlete.

Actually not in the slightest. I've always thought Nadal looked like a rodent. To me he's one of those guys who's only considered good-looking because he's good at tennis.

It's a bit like when Michael Phelps was on People Magazine most beautiful list. WTF?????

And yes it is weird routine but getting worse by the tournament. In my days tennis players didn't even have towels. Tsskkk...

The only tennis player that was worth showering with was Marat Safin. Grin

Safin has hair like Timberlake. HTH.

Noooo! It's not pubes-curly, it's nice curly.

Not that I have just been googling him or anything... Blush

anonacfr - I think the same - in our house he's nicknamed "the hamster" - I have never understood why he's considered attractive although I can appreciate he's quite a good tennis player.

The genius that is Nadal can do what he wants, within the rules. Psychology is a huge part of sport, his routine is intrinsic to his success, in his mind.
