Rafael Nadal gets down to his underwear again for the Fall/Winter Emporio Armani Campaign. Clearly shirtless Rafa sells Armani better than Rafa in a parka. (Because wouldn’t that make more sense for the season?)
Hamptons Magazine has Venus and Serena Williams (pictured above from the magazine) on the cover of its latest issue, plus a fantastic piece inside. Best quote (from Venus on her dog, Harold): “Harold always comes to the Open, but he doesn’t know it’s a tennis tournament. He’s just there for the nap.”
US Open sponsor Moet & Chandon will fete Tony Bennett for his 85th birthday at the tournament in the President’s box before the opening ceremonies on August 29. Tony will also autograph a special bottle, which will be auctioned for charity during a special reception.
Serena Williams clearly knows Britney Spears, and feels she, herself, is not a girl, but not yet a woman.
Kim Clijsters withdrew from the US Open due to a stomach muscle injury.
Roger Federer is amazed by the length and brutality of US Presidential Races. (Well, who isn’t?)
Novak Djokovic pokes fun at Maria Sharapova’s new Head commercial. To which she responds, “It is on like Donkey Kong.”
Jelena Jankovic runs out of gas.
