When it comes to watching sports, I was always pretty much a “take-it-or-leave-it” kind of gal–I didn’t mind tuning in to the big game, but hey, if you’d rather go out to dinner, no problem.  But then I discovered tennis. Or, more to the point, tennis players.  MEN tennis players.  BLAZING HOT MEN tennis players.  Have you ever seen the men’s Spanish tennis team?  Holy game, set, match!  They’re a biological miracle.  I’m not sure what they’re feeding these guys, but whatever it is, it definitely does a body good.  So today I’m going to share with you some of my favorites (you’re welcome!).

First up is Rafael Nadal.  He’s from Mallorca, an island off the coast of Spain.  I think we should all go there.  Immediately.

Next is Feliciano Lopez.  He is RIDICULOUSLY handsome.  Seriously, if the tennis gig doesn’t work out for him, he can become a model. Or my pool boy (note to self:  must get pool).

Last, but not least, is Fernando Verdasco. Dios mio, that is one fine looking man. AND he’s talented.  He can be my pool boy on Feliciano’s days off.  (note to self: put a rush order on that pool).

Okay, as if that isn’t enough, here’s one of my future pool boys, Feliciano and Fernando, together.

OMG

 

And last but not least, for your viewing pleasure, the perfect storm of tennis hotness–Rafael, Feliciano, and Fernando.

trifecta

So—do you like any sports?  If so, which ones, and who are your favorite athletes?  Have I managed to convert you into a tennis fan? (just keep in mind that Rafael, Feliciano, and Fernando are MINE!!)

xox Jacquie–tennis fan for LIFE!!

    Mucho caliente!

    In the last pic, it appears as though F & F are chastising R for not wearing the uniform tie!

      Oh, I was so worked up I forgot the whole post question :) I seldom watch any sports that are non-equestrian, but I used to watch baseball, just for the long, lanky boys in the non-padded uniforms :-P

      • Jacquie D says:

        I enjoy baseball, too–that’ll have to be another blog. My favorite player is Andy Pettitte. My sister has already told me she wants him–I think we’re going to have to wrestle for him, LOL!:-O

    • Jacquie D says:

      They can chastise me anytime. (oops–did I just say that outloud??) ;-)

    I love these pics Jacquie….I love Tennis Bods too. These are definitely creme de la creme though. Estan muy delicioso!!!! There are so many of them. I love Feliciano’s eyes.

    I do love sports too…Basketball is my game (that’s my fave body type to lust after), then there is swimming, track and field…a lot of these guys bods are smoking hot, but alas they are out of my league. Very hard to fantasize about them when this is the case. I couldn’t even imagine rush ordering a pool like you…LOL!!! Girl, you might have to order more than one because I am sure their friends will want to come and work for you too.

    Peace and love,
    Paula R.

      OMG–that thunk you just heard was me falling on the floor! Two words: POOL PARTY!!!(H)

      • Paula R. says:

        Is that an invitation? I am there!!!! LOL!!! Is your head okay?

        Peace and love,
        Paula R.

        • Jacquie D says:

          That is most def an invite–now all we need is a pool. But ya gotta figure (hope) that if we build it, they will come! And my head is NOT okay–it’s “swimming” (pool pun!) with images of tennis hunks “serving” (tennis pun!) us margaritas!

          • Paula R. says:

            Who needs a pool then. Backyard or inside parties can have them serving us whatever we want right? Here’s a bag of ice for your head…LOL!!! And, they will come btw…how could they not? We are awesome and sassy and smart, natural caregivers, soothers, kissers of wounds; just what they need, right?

            Peace and love,
            Paula R.

    Love watching sports!
    Not a soccer fan but David Beckman is HOT but a little to metro-sexual for me.
    In football – I like the looks of Jeremy Shockey but only if he keeps his mouth shut – he is a little to Neatherdral for me.
    In hockey – goalie Henric Lundquist – hot, hot, hot
    In baseball – a little to lanky for my taste
    Not a tennis fan at least not since John McEnroe ( dating myself, aren’t I?) but those guys are cute!

    I AM WILLING TO CONTRIBUTE TO COST OF SAID POOL BUT ONLY ONLY IF I GET A POOL-SIDE SEAT….

  4. Laurie W says:

    Ah yes, men’s tennis…I’ve been a fan for years. Love those Spaniards – estan muuuy guapo!!

  5. Judil says:

    I’ve known the men of tennis are “Blazing Hot” all along as a long time tennis fan here. None of these newbies can hold a candle to Pat Rafter, but Feliciano Lopez is my fav hot guy right now (I’ve seen him play live and have the pics to proof it!). What I want to know is why no author ever writes a story about tennis ?? Please do the world a favor and get on that would you?

    • Jacquie D says:

      Okay, I am officially pea green with envy that you’ve seen Feliciano play! I’ve seen Courier, Johnny Mac, Sam Querry, John Isner, and Serena play live and it was fabulous! Where did you see Feliciano?
      As for Rafter–OMG, I’ve loved him since the first time I saw him. Loved the way he’d say, “Sorry, mate” when he had a bad ball toss. So glad he’s back playing on that legends tour (or whatever it’s called–I forget at the moment. Saw him play Courier a few months ago on the Tennis Channel–btw, LOVE the Tennis Channel!!). I still have the July 1999 GQ where Rafter is on the cover, all wet. Holy cow! That man could start a fire in a fish tank.

      • Judil says:

        OMG I have that Rafter article on my fridge..he is my ALL time favorite!! Best day of my life was seeing Rafter play live one friday 4 TIMES(due to rain delays). I saw 2 singles matches and 2 doubles matches..will never forget it. I’ve seen Feliciano play in Toronto at the Rogers Cup 2 times and have pics of him practicing shirtless (OHHH my now that is HAWT!). This summer I will see him again as long as he plays and ìsn`t hurt or skips the tournament. So excited to talk with another Rafter fan. I saw a couple pics of Rafter someone tweeted from this years Aussie Open..ohh how I miss his serve and volley.

        • Jacquie D says:

          I am so in AWE that you’ve not only seen Feliciano play SHIRTLESS (be still my heart!) but have seen Rafter play. I adored him, and his serve and volley game…a beautiful thing to see. He was the only person who made me root against Sampras–when Rafter played, he had my total loyalty. I’m really excited because the APT tour is coming back to Atlanta this year in the fall. Yeah! We’re looking forward to getting tickets.

          • Judil says:

            There is nothing like watching tennis live. Watching on TV just does not do it justice. As a tennis player myself I am in awe watching them make incredible shots, knowing that they make it look so easy and in reality it is not. So glad you will be able to see the tour this year. I am lucky to have seen the men or women play live the last 15 years (definitely prefer the men for obvious reasons lol)

  6. Tammy Yenalavitch says:

    Wow – when I saw this, I immediately thought of Patrick Rafter. I was beyond obsessed with that man. I even bought some Australian magazines off ebay just to have more pictures of him and I have the DVDs of his two US Open wins. He is so hot!! I could look at him for hours! So nice to see I am in good company.

    • Judil says:

      I have VHS tapes of those US open wins and many other of his matches that I still sometimes watch today. They never fail to put a smile on my face! Just talking about him today has me all tingly. Love seeing other people have the same Pat Rafrer obsession as me!!!

  7. Nicole S says:

    I’m a huge sports fan mostly baseball and football.

    My favorite baseball players are Melky Cabrera (he has the best dimples), Grady Sizemore (dimples for him too), David Wright, Garrett Jones, Jose Morales, Jason Pridie, and Victor Martinez.

    I’m no way a Dallas Cowboys fan , but Miles Austin is pretty cute.

    I watch Tennis, but not often. I guess I have to pay attention more with guys like that playing.
