TennisNow Fall 2010

The new TennisNow online magazine is out. Rafa’s on the cover as it’s their US Open wrap-up. Be sure to flip through it (despite the annoying auto-loading videos – seriously, I’ll click if I want to see it, don’t auto-load!) because there’s a wonderful photo of Rafa towards the end – as well as some thoughts by a guy who’s been photographing tennis players for years.

Top 49 most influential men

Askmen.com has put Rafa at #15 of their list of the top 49 most influential men.

Rivalry? What rivalry? 2010 saw Rafael Nadal fully and completely emerge from the once-monolithic shadow of Roger Federer. With three Grand Slam titles this year alone — including his first U.S. Open championship, which made him just the seventh player in history to complete the career Grand Slam — Rafael Nadal cemented his spot as world No.1, and is marching full steam ahead toward Federer’s record 16

2011 Calendars

The new calendars are ready! Wait, calendars? As in plural? Yep. I made a version I liked and ran it by a few people. They felt the selection of pictures were too similar – torso up shots of Rafa practicing – and lacked action. So, I did a second version that included more action filled insets. This one seemed to meet with the approval of my testing committee. I decided to make both options available. So, here you go:
