Spanish tennis wunderkind Rafael Nadal hasn't been in the best of form for nearly a year now. Weighed down by the most bulging guns and mighty physique ever seen in the sport, his poor knees have buckled putting a worrying doubt over his longevity and future grand slam success. But the puppy-dog-eyed trophy-chewing Rafa is changing his regime (and hopefully his metallic diet) in order to sport a leaner Nike clad look and regain his mojo. That's not all. Seeking to put less pressure on the knees, Nadal is learning how to focus more power on... the hips.
And who better to learn from than Colombia's answer to a human Boa Constrictor (and a yodeling one at that)... Shakira! Having released her album She Wolf last year she has now managed to bag the champion for new single Gypsy's music video, in which he (taking a leaf out of another dwindling player's book) plays the Anna Kournikova to her Enrique Iglesias. As she reveals "I'm a gypsy" the mystery behind that album's completely bewildering critical acclaim becomes clear. The hips don't lie but they have mystical hypnotic tendencies that apparently Rafa will be using at the net to eclipse Roger Federer as the greatest tennis player of the Open era. Presumably Twilight's Taylor Lautner was otherwise engaged (running around as a He Wolf most likely) but this is some way to kill two birds with one stone. Watch at your peril...
