No, no, no, no.... this has nothing to do with college athletes, office pools, or Gonzaga.
My March Madness is all about tennis and the two biggest US tennis tournaments outside of the US Open, The Pacific Life Open & Nasdaq-100 Open, which are contested back-to-back this month.
The Pacific Life is currently underway in Indian Wells, CA... having been obsessed with other things that past couple of weeks, today I want to give a much delayed "welcome back to the tour" post to one of my almost jailbait fixation favorite players... Rafael Nadal.

I haven't mentioned Nadal since October... why? Well, he missed most of the end of last year and the start of this year (including the first Slam of the season, The Australian Open) with an ankle injury... which, given this recent pic, apparently did not impede working out his upper body.
The Pacific Life is only his 3rd tournament this year. His comeback has been quite remarkable... thus far Nadal has posted an 8-1 record, including a win over the pretty much undefeatable Roger Federer in the Dubai final.
Recently, I had this search hit:

As one who always tries to be helpful... this shot, seered into my memory, immediately came to mind I searched the W&C archives to see if there was something (anything!) that fit the bill and I just happened to stumble across this one. Hopefully, this Yahoo-er will like it.
