The following link contains a few of the pictures that I took from the 2004 RCA Tennis Championships. Since I lust for Thomas Edberg, the album is heavy on his pics, but there are shirtless shots of Edberg (who was having a major problem with blisters ... No, I didn't post the pic of his hand, but it looked absolutely disgusting), Srichaphan, Gambill (big surprise, I know since the guy is VERY shy about his body), Alex Kuznetsov (a finalist at the Jr. French Open last year) and an Argentine doubles player who I wish that I had gotten to know better. Of course, there are the obligatory Roddick, Joachim, Soderling, Fish (who would probably have better results if he'd spend less time on the practice court trying to hit homeruns with his tennis racquet, wink ), Llodra, Troy Hahn and a very hot Marco Chiudinelli.

This one looks too young for me, but this one? Yummy!

Anyway, thanks for sharing, Hammer! :cool:

Nick,

I haven't heard from you in a while!

Thank you for the pics. They are very nice.

Did mean Thomas "Enqvist" instead of "Edberg?"
Dedric

Didn't recognize the first player on the page where you "ENTER". He's really cute. Who is he? wink

Hey dedric, what's up? Not a regular poster here anymore, for a few personal reasons, and I've been really busy with grad school, but with Winter Break approaching, I'll start to have some more free time.

You're right, I meant Enqvist, instead of Edberg. (Although, another former Swedish uberstar, Tillstrom, was coaching Enqvist at the RCA's last year. I have quite a few pics of him as well, although he's the anti-Swede, brown hair and pasty as all get out.) Enqvist was looking especially sexy during the tournament ... my ex-boyfriend picked him up at the airport and he said that the Enqvist looked hot with a bit of scruff. Given that my ex has a fixation with twinky jail bait, I took that to be high praise for Thomas.

sportinlife, the guy in question is a perennial futures player/doubles specialist, Troy Hahn. Really nice guy ... he was shocked that someone asked for his autograph ... he played MUCH better this year, but lost in the final round of qualies. Didn't get any shirtless shots, but I had to support my fellow red head.

heya hammer...good to see you around. thanks for the pics. is that chiudinelli in the orange? hot stuff. what's his game like?

good to see your post...cheers

hey tennisballs,

Let me give you a photo ID of a few of the lesser known guys.

The guy who looks like he's playing with himself was Marco Chiudinelli. I had to take the shot since the guy had his hand on his crotch most of his match against Todd Reid. (No wonder the guy lost in straight sets.)

The guy in the red is a Frenchie ... Thierry Ascione (sp?). He was an amusing guy to watch b/c a certain member from the board was cheering rather loudly for the guy and his ball toss was insanely low (the guy wasn't more than 5'8), but he could serve more than 140 mph.

Everyone else should be rather familiar and I had a great time at the event this past year. Thankfully, the crew was more sociable than I was otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten the chance to psuedo-socialize with Carraz and his extremely sexy French coach ... if you like tanned, muscular, slightly hairy guys with an amazingly perky ass.

Hey guys, I FINALLY found one of my other CD's with pictures from the RCA Championships. Surprisingly, I don't have many shirtless shots on this disk, other than a few of Joachim Johansson. However, I have quite a few sweaty shots of Thomas J., Ivan Ljubicic, Robin Soderling, Michel Kratochvil, etc.

Nick

Hammerman.....you missed Kiefer, I was at RCA on quarterfinal day so didn't get to see so many guys. I did however see kiefer....what a body, better than any of those other pics...ripped, lean....nice.

Thanks though

Agree. Kiefer is in awesome shape. I saw him pratice, shirtless, down in Melbourne this year at the Aussie Open.He is ripped, must have body fat level -6%. Unfortunately, his form on court did not match his physical appearance, this year.

I was at the RCA's during most of the week last year b/c my roommate was on one of the comittees and he gave me his free tickets. =) I had a great time and fortunately, my roomie was able to trade our tickets for some of the higher end tickets, so we were able to watch Roddick-Ginepri, the first two sets of Roddick-Kratochvil and the Thursday night matches underneath the higher end canopy.

Actually ... I have pictures of Kiefer from the RCA's in 2003. Last year, I was more fixated on Carraz, Ljubicic and the newer faces. However, I was able to watch Kiefer pummell qualifier Rik De Voest, Paradorn Squeakypants, and Carraz in the semifinals.
