Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Murray and the rest of the top 8 guys posed for the official ATP World Tour Finals portrait yesterday. From the setting, I guess they really do form an exclusive club.
Here’s the official portrait:
This one cracks me up – “Okay, Roger and Rafa, since you guys are obviously the Alpha Males around here, you get the club chairs. Everyone else can hover behind them like nervous man servants. Ready? Cheeeeeeese!”
It was Col. Soderling, in the library with the candlestick!
Male-model coach, Fernando Verdasco, subtly coaches Rafa on the ol’ cuff link maneuver.
It does make me sad that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is sitting in the wings as the first alternate. How about giving the understudy a shot or two?

well andy murray looks annoyed that he’s not in the chair and del po has his not so happy face on. wonder if he’s ok physically. the rest look really relaxed and happy.
rog and rafa really are the king and prince of tennis.
at least the others are standing and not at their feet.
Ho ho ho, Col. Soderling does look pretty guilty!
This is weird but it actually looks like Soderling is getting progressively larger in each of the three photos.
Spooky.
HAHAHAH! LOL at that. I love having a villain like Soderling around the tournament – ads an air of danger. Or terror? (The Incredible 100ft Soderling?)
Funny captions. Now I have an urge to play CLUE! I wish Roger would have crossed his legs but now I see that him and Rafa would have been touching.
I must say, Rafa’s leg cross is very dapper. I love a well-turned ankle on a man!
Ok that made me snort out loud on the quiet floor of the library I’m in. hhahaha very spooky indeed.
Haha, they juste needs cigars and scotch !
Oh, I love a man in a suit…soooo sexy!
Actually a friend of mine saw the photo shoot in London on Friday. We were chatting on the phone and I asked her if she had seen the players (she was having a day Christmas Shopping in London and was near County Hall where the photos were taken)
“Do you mean a bunch of guys in grey suits”..she replied (not a great tennis fan!!) “Oh yes, saw them on the steps of the hotel and then by a red bus.I thought they must be a sports team or something”
lol!
GRRR Why was I at work !!!
it’s like they’re posting for an old painting or something. it is funny, but appropriate that rog and rafa are in the fancy chairs. i love the pic where rog and rafa are connecting and murray is there listening, but again not involved. ha! it is nice to see the new guys in there. can’t wait to watch!
