A peep into Rafael Nadal's Armani campaign ads

If you haven't read this anywhere yet, a series of sizzling new Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans ads, featuring Rafael Nadal (and Megan Fox), were revealed last Thursday.

Is this really Nadal? While it's impressive, I think David Beckham flaunts it better... I prefer a 'raw' version rather than this heavily photoshopped photo.

Here's another one... Nadal the Superman!

The campaign, shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, will start popping up on billboards next month as part of the fashion house's Spring 2011 campaign.

According to Roberta Armani, the niece of Giorgio Armani said: "He (Nadal) always chose interesting clothes for tennis, like long trousers or long sleeves on court - he wears a lot of colour."

"He is not just an amazing sportsman but also an artist. I'm so proud he is joining the family," she added.

Here are some pictures from behind the scene:

To me, Nadal's decision to accept the campaign doesn't come off as a surprise because even though he is well known for his shy and reserved attitude, he has appeared in many sexy mag covers and hot music video with Shakira.

To move to an on court news at the Australian Open, Nadal will play against Marin Cilic in the fourth round today.

There's a little bit of concern over Nadal's fitness as he is still not over a virus-type illness which he developed on the way to Australia. He was having problem with excessive sweating during the match against Bernard Tomic in the third round.

Fernando Verdasco: Impossible is nothing

I'm a Nike person never an Adidas.

And I'm not observant either. But my eyes were pretty quick when it comes to Fernando Verdasco when I saw this advertising display in front of an Adidas shop in Pavilion, KL yesterday.

Speaking of the Australian Open, Verdasco made quite an impression after saving match points in a dramatic come-from-behind victory on Wednesday.

Verdasco rallied from a two-set deficit and saved three match points in the fourth set against Janko Tipsarevic, to eventually claim the match 2-6, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6 (7-0), 6-0.

He's scheduled to play Kei Nishikori today, who defeated Florian Mayer 6-4, 6-3, 0-6, 6-3 in the second round.

Kei Nishikori endorses UNIQLO apparel

It was my first time at UNIQLO outlet last weekend and I find the Japanese high-street fashion brand rather affordable yet stylish.

Coincidentally, Kei Nishikori has also signed a five-year sponsorship agreement with UNIQLO earlier this month wearing the apparel at Aircel Chennai Open for the first time and now at the Australian Open.

Nishikori who made a winning start in the first round at the Australian Open defeated Fabio Fognini 6-1, 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 6-4.

Back to UNIQLO, the Japanese brand, which boasts an impressive lineup of trendy wear, is also endorsed by high profile celebrities, Charlize Theron and Orlando Bloom.

For more info of the UNIQLO brand, go to its Japanese website, US website or Malaysian website.

BMW named title sponsor of WTA Malaysian Open 2011

Kudos to the WTA Malaysian Open for having automotive giants BMW coming on board as title sponsor for this year's tournament.

Last year, the tournament was without a title sponsor until The Holden Horses Health Sanctuary stepped in last minute.

The BMW Malaysian Open, which will be held at the same place at Bukit Kiara Equestrian and Country Resort from February 28 to March 6, offers a total prize money of US$220,000.

More details coming up soon...
