Don’t worry Rafanatics. After a couple days of near misses, we finally caught Rafael Nadal on the practice courts!
Rafa practiced twice on Friday. The first session (white cap) was in the late morning with Janko Tipsarevic. Flavia Pennetta, Svetlana Kuznetsova and Nikolay Davydenko were around for a chat. I have no idea what Flavs was [...]

A great BIG juicy thank you to GTT reader Nilhenwen for sending us this amazing behind-the-scenes video from the Rafael Nadal/Shakira “Gypsy” shoot! I’m sure it will launch 1,000 film makeup careers. Enjoy!

We can’t get enough of the practice courts (and practice field) at Indian Wells. Gael Monfils, Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, Robin Soderling, Gilles Simon, the Spanish Armada, Justine Henin and Caroline Wozniacki worked on their strokes and their foot work on Thursday. Anna Chakvetadze looked on while Marcos Baghdatis, Juan Monaco, Gaston Gaudio et. al played a [...]

We snapped a couple shots of the always-elusive Roger Federer shirt change.
The photos in the gallery are from two separate Roger Federer practice sessions at Indian Wells on Thursday. The morning session (gray RF shirt) included Ivan Ljubicic. Justine Henin practiced next door. Roger glanced over to observe JuJu’s strokes a few times during his [...]

Novak Djokovic and Fernando Verdasco practiced together at Indian Wells on Thursday. Quick, someone call Calvin Klein! We have an impromptu boxer briefs spread in the making here. Enjoy:

Whoa, it’s the Roger-lode! We scored a primo perch for Roger Federer’s Wednesday practice session at Indian Wells. He practiced for almost two hours, hitting around and playing games with a young (American?) guy with a huge serve and a one-handed backhand.  (I’ll be forever grateful to the reader who identifies his practice partner.)
Despite the [...]

Sergio Tacchini confirms what many of us already suspected: Novak Djokovic is H-O-T.

Why yes, Robin Soderling qualifies as a Tennis Hunk, in that pasty-faced Northern European kind of way.
Speaking of. . .here’s Andy Murray!

And bona fide Hunk Feliciano Lopez, looking more funky than hunky. (He was practicing with Murray today.)

Rafael Nadal is back on court and ready to defend his title at Indian Wells! Our scientific two-person poll determines that his warm-up jacket is a sartorial winner.

Hola, Shakira?

How about a mid-week Marat Safin pick-me-up?

This photo was just too cute not to post. Marat Safin and Anastasia Myskina were photographed at the Novinsky Passazh shopping arcade in Moscow on Friday for the draw of the Tennis Legends in Moscow event. Last weekend’s exhibition tournament featured “the brightest tennis stars of the 90s” in [...]

Here it is folks. Finally the full version of Shakira’s hot music video for her song “Gypsy“, featuring a scantily clad [...]

February is turning out to be the unofficial Tennis Hunks and Babes Month at GTT!
The ATP website recently reported (thanks Judy!) that former top 10 player Paradorn Srichaphan is starring in a Thai action film, Bang Rajan II, coming out on March 25.
In the film Paradorn plays a strong but silent type named Nai Mun, [...]

In the doldrums of the post-Australian Open tennis season, why not take a Marat Safin break?
Marat was interviewed late last last year by Russian HELLO! and photographed hanging out in his Moscow penthouse, where he will be spending more time now that he’s retired. It’s a thrill to see the super-private Safin in [...]
