Mr. Humble strikes again! Rafael Nadal was recently voted the “World’s Fittest Man” by Men’s Fitness magazine, and Rafa says he doesn’t deserve it:

If you look at many other players they are probably fitter than me. The difference probably is that I was playing sleeveless.”

Gentleman and ladies of the jury, I leave it up to you to decide:

Roger Federer does his best Rafa. What? Twiggy forearms are hot.

Let’s be honest, Andy Murray will never be tan enough for Men’s Fitness.

Don’t be fooled: Novak Djokovic is still closer to the “retirement” slam than the career slam. (His new fitness coach may help.)

*Record scratching sound* Uh. . .yeah. Game over.

But Rafa wasn’t all modesty – when asked about his specialties in the kitchen, he boasts like Muhammad Ali:

“Pasta with shrimp and mushrooms. I’m also good at making cakes.

BUSTED! So you think you’re “good” at baking, huh? Braggart.

I’ve included this video of Nadal’s training regimen, so you, too, can be good at making cakes. And jumping rope and doing the Charleston. That was so ME in second grade!

Quick, Uncle Toni! Get your nephew an infomercial.
