Rafael Nadal wax figure unveiled in London

A new waxwork figure of Rafael Nadal is unveiled during a photocall in Regents Park in central London today.

The waxwork will later take up residence at the Madame Tussauds museum in London. Other sports figures there include David Beckham, Christian Ronaldo and Muhammad Ali. So that's a huge honour for Nadal.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga's worst magazine cover ever

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga is featured in the June issue of French L'Optimum magazine.

Surely this is the worst taste magazine cover ever.

I hope the media can stop comparing Tsonga with Muhammad Ali from now on.

Jo-Wilfried Tsonga does a Thai version of Muhammad Ali

Finally we get to see Jo-Wilfried Tsonga doing something we all wanted to see! Yes it's boxing! Only that this is the Thai version. (Updates: Apparently Tsonga went into the boxing ring before back in May during the Hamburg Masters Series. Check out Lana's Great Tennis Photos.)

He was practicing during a Thai boxing demonstration to promote the ATP Thailand tennis Open 2008 in Bangkok.

Don't we all just love seeing the Muhammad Ali lookalike in shorts, half naked and delivering some punches here?

These photos are priceless!

Tsonga had a chance to learn some tips from Somluck Khamsing, a former Olympic boxing gold medalist. He even managed to land a left on the Olympian.

By the way Tsonga just defeated Lukas Dlouhy in the second round 7-6, 3-6, 7-6. Pretty nerve wreaking, huh?

Tsonga - Muhammad Ali: Separated at birth?

I agree with Esther, that Jo-Wilfried Tsonga does resemble boxing legend, Muhammad Ali. See if you agree with me.

This is Tsonga.

This is Ali.

Separated at birth?
