Rafael Nadal Reveals Bare-Chested Armani Ad

By Michael Lopez

Perhaps it's time to grab a racket and hit the tennis court. Judging by the six-pack abs Rafael Nadal is sporting in his new Armani ad, the sport is a great way to stay in shape!

Nadal appeared at a New York Macy's this week to unveil the 20-foot billboard of himself. Photographed bare-chested in black and white, Rafael's pic will certainly stir up excitement among his many female fans.

Giorgio Armani has used provocative athlete pix for years to sell his products. Hunky fútbol studs David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo have both appeared in his ads. But Giorgio seemed extra thrilled about nabbing tennis' hottest Spaniard for his jeans line.

"Nadal is a real phenomenon, probably the best player who has stepped on a court, with awesome power and agility," he said. "I am delighted to see him play in every match. He is the ideal image because he represents a healthy and positive model for young people."

Don't worry fellas, Rafael won't be only the famous model showing skin for Armani. Rihanna is set to debut a sexy underwear campaign later this year.
