*UPDATE – sorry the video was broken! We fixed it!
V is for Video of the Day! V is for Victory! and V is for very, very rich. Tennis.com did a short piece today enumerating Rafael Nadal’s steady charge up the sponsorship ladder. He’s recently signed on with Spanish insurance company Mapfre and is the face of Spain’s Balearic Islands in new tourism commercials running in Germany and later in the U.K. (I guess we Americans are too broke to go anywhere but bowling.) He’s even encoraching onto Roger “fashionishto” Federer territory, appearing in print ads for Lanvin’s L’homme Sport cologne, set for a release this summer (or click here to see one now!)
No wonder Rafa’s recently been spotted with the keys to an Aston Martin – for when his Kia’s in the shop, of course! (Click here to oogle.)
Anyway, in celebration of V day (that would be Vendredi) I thought I’d post Rafa’s “V” for Victory promo – I assume everyone who’s seen it won’t mind seeing it again. If you haven’t, think red clay, pecs and some primal roars. That’s “V” for very, very nice!
