YUM!

Rafael Nadal beat the hell out of Roger Federer at the BNP Paribas Open, so in celebration and thanks to his fans for cheering him on, he took off his shirt and showed us his shirtless body!

We're totally cool with that.

In fact, he could just play tennis shirtless if he wanted, we don't give a f***!

Ha!

Looks like that back injury didn't take him out for tooooooo long!

Rafael Nadal is BACK in action (and lookin' pret-ty hawt)!

Well, training at least! Small steps!

He was spotted in Barcelona (above) starting his training again. This is fab news, because we'll be honest — tennis is pretty boring without him.

Don't push yourself too hard, Rafael! We need you!!

But only when he's playing tennis!! We kid, we kid!!

Rafael Nadal is Bacardi's top pick for their Champions Drink Responsibly campaign, so to back up his new duties, he attended a press conference in Spain last night, where he answered a whole mess of questions.

The hunky athlete's campaign shot is already out, and on it he expressed:

Uh-oh.

This can't be a good sign.

Defending Olympic gold-medal winner, Rafael Nadal, has dropped out of the Olympics because of

Rafael Nadal has taken off two things:

1. Some time from tennis.

2. His shirt.

Guess which one we like better??

Seriously though, check him out on a yacht, with no shirt, in Sardinia, Italy.

Tennis is treating him well!

Oh to be in Italy — now that's some food and sun we don't want to be missing!

Who leaves a $373,000 watch unattended in a hotel room?!?

Rafael Nadal, that's who!

After winning the French Open on Monday the Spanish tennis champ's ritzy timepiece loaned to him by luxury watchmaker Richard Mille mysteriously disappeared from his posh Parisian hotel!

However, this story has a happy ending because on Tuesday police tracked down the thief, a barman at the hotel, who confessed to letting himself into Rafa's room with his own magnetic key card.

Shady! Stupid, but shady!

Upon hearing the news, Nadal praised the police, adding:

"I have nothing to hold against the hotel. They have always treated me well when I have stayed there over the past eight years and I will be come back next year."

Word of advice: store your fancy baubles in the safe. That's what it's there for!

What would a French Open be without a visit from Jay-Z??

Hey, that kinda rhymed! LOLz!

Jay-Z made a stop at the famous tennis tournament to lend his support and his cheers.

We're not positive he actually cheered, but hey, who wouldn't at a tournament like that??

We wonder if he was a good luck charm for Nadal!
