Tennis: Shirtless Showcase Begins in Melbourne, Marat and A-Rod Get In Some Practice
Oppressive heat? Grand Slam tennis?? Shirtless ballers practicing their arse off??? It must be time for the Aussie Open - rejoice!
Shirtless brigade member Marat Safin may have pulled out of the annual Kooyong exo with a shoulder injury but it didn't stop the enigmatic baller from getting his practice on at Melbourne Park today.
Hmmm - that shoulder's looking awfully good for being "injured" but so are his biceps, pecs, abs, tattoo...
*falls off chair*
More Marat images for your enjoyment below...
Andy Roddick was spotted at Melbourne Park today getting some practice in presumably under the watchful eye of new coach Larry Stefanki.
Their partnership got off to a flying start when the former top-ranked baller reached the final of Doha last week, ultimately falling to a streaking Andy Murray in the final. And, like Marat Safin, this shirtless brigade member is looking in typically great shape which should serve him well in the Aussie summer heat.
Anyways, speaking of heat...

They're both has beens and head cases lol Not much more to say. Marat's done better at the Aussie than Andy, but I'd give the British Andy the best shot to win the Open this year and take his first slam.

Dear G-d,
all we need is more hairless wonders. Although it does appear Marat Safin is sporting some manchest!

Marat Safin has been around longer than Roddick and holds more major titles. check out his stats on http://www.atpworldtour.com/3/en/players/playerprofiles/?playernumber=S741. He's also sexy and funny, but has made a few fag comments.

Where is Robbie Ginepri? Now that's a handsome man!

These guys aren't good enough if you compare game & body. By far Nº 1 in tennis is Rafa Nadal from Spain, and what a sculptured body ! Why not put his pic then?
Posted by: FernandoFF | January 17, 2009 at 03:34 AM
oh, brother.
so what?
how old is your audience?
Posted by: kcdrew | January 17, 2009 at 09:30 AM
Marat is VERY nice, but ANDY, OH, HONEY, an all american hottie, have u seen the pic where his tool plays "peek a boo"
Posted by: Mark | January 17, 2009 at 07:10 PM
Come on now, if you were a real tennis fan, you wouldn't be so main stream! Roddick, Safin, Nadal, Federer? If you really know tennis you'd know there are many more hotter hotties that aren't as famous. Amer Delic. Mario Ancic. Nickolas Almagro. Mardy Fish, The list goes on and on.
