Roger or Rafa? Australian Open Predictions

The 2011 tennis season is upon us, with the start of the Australian Open! There are a lot of good contenders on the mens' side, with Roger Federer and Rafa Nadal leading the pack. But Andy Murray, Andy Roddick, Novac Djokovich and Robin Soderling can't be discounted yet. Still, the number one (Nadal) and number two (Federer) in the world are the two to beat.

I can tell you that if t-shirt sales are any indication of fan favorites, one of these t-shirts sells better than the other. Can you guess which? (answer below)

Who's Dressing Rafa Nadal?



Yipes. Is Nike responsible for this atrocity? I guess I can forgive the t-shirt, although it looks uncomfortably tight at the neck, and makes Nadal look like Dennis the Menace. I actually like the color on Rafa, he looks good in hot spicy tones like this. But the shorts? Eek. There's what looks like a windowpane check to them, in yellow, and man, that is UGLY. And then there's the question of the headband and one wristband being a sort of peachy color that might match the stripe of the shirt, when he's not sweating. But the headband goes red, and the stripe goes dark, and nothing matches, once it all gets wet.

One wonders, did Rafa put his foot down and insist on only ONE pink wristband?

We love him, anyway! And we'd love to see him in this:
