Rafael Nadal Is “V” for Very, Very Rich

UPDATE--Sorry the video was broken! We fixed it!

V is for Video of the Day! V is for victory! V is also for very, very rich. Tennis.com did a short piece today enumerating Rafael Nadal’s steady charge up the sponsorship ladder. He has recently signed on with Spanish insurance company Mapfre and is the face of Spain’s Balearic Islands in new tourism commercials running in Germany and later in the U.K. I guess we Americans are too broke to go anywhere but bowling.

He is even encroaching onto Roger “fashionisto” Federer territory, appearing in print ads for Lanvin’s L’homme Sport cologne set for a summer release (or click here to see one now!).

No wonder Rafa was recently spotted with the keys to an Aston Martin. It is for when his Kia is in the shop, of course! (Click here to oogle.)

Anyway, in celebration of V day (that would be Vendredi), I thought I would post Rafa’s "'V'” for Victory" promo. I assume everyone who has seen it will not mind seeing it again. If you have not, think red clay, pecs, and some primal roars. That’s “V” for very, very nice!

The video comes from Rafa’s website
