Fernando Verdasco

In case you hadn't heard, the Superbowl wasn't the only sporting event this past weekend. The Australian Open showcased some of the most amazing tennis we've seen in a long time with Rafael Nadal coming away with the championship when all was said and done. Nadal was definitely the man of the tournament, but the bright spot for the viewing audience had to be the discovery of his fellow countrymen, Fernando Verdasco. Verdasco and Nadal played an epic 5 setter, 5 and a half hour match Saturday morning that not only had some great tennis, but plenty of screen time for the hot Spaniard. It was easy to get lost in the points and focus on the tennis player and not the tennis. Él es caliente !
