How Do You Know You're Beat Before You Begin..?

When your opponent at a major tennis tournament (and who just happens to be the world’s best player) turns up to play you in drill shorts, that’s how.

This photo doesn’t really do them justice but I’m sure Rafael Nadal picked them up from the skateboarding, not tennis playing, part of the Nike sweatshop.

All he is missing to complete the look of utter contempt towards his opponent is the chain and the cap on a jaunty angle. I suppose he could’ve turned out in jeans but that would’ve been a bit cheeky really.

Oh and Rafa, mate, this whole ‘sign the camera lens thing’ that you top tennis stars do every time you leave the court? It’s getting a bit wanky.

As you were.
