Spaniards Loving Some Tennis

Maybe its because I’m not a Spaniard, or maybe its because I don’t find tennis to be particularly interesting, but one way or another, there’s a few things I just don’t get about this story.

Nevertheless, it seems that the stands at the ATP Masters Series in Madrid yesterday were nice and full of superestrellas. Everyone from model Mar Saura, to Real Madrid futbolista Raul Gonzalez, to actress Paula Echevarria, and even legendary director Pedro Almodóvar were watching the day’s match between home town favorite Rafa Nadal and Ernest Gulbis.

Hell, even ex-Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar was there. (Let it be noted that, yes, Spain has a prime minister; no, they’re not enemies of the United States; and no, Spain is not in Latin America).

I don’t get the appeal, but in case some of you out there are rabid about Spaniards and tennis, these pics are for you!
