HE'S GOT A BRIGHT FUTURE Bright looks were all the rage at this year's Australian Open, but Roger Federer seems to have upped the ante. Here, he speaks to his flashy new on-court attire from Nike: "I think it's different, you know," he said of his current ensemble. "I have worn so many outfits over the years, and I am lucky enough to be able to change my outfit 10 to 12 times a year. How many times can you do a T-shirt and another colored shirt? I was like, ‘Let's mix it up a little bit.’ I haven't worn bright colors in some time."
NOT-SO-BITTER RIVALS "I think it started as a semifinal rivalry, you know, because me and Rafa Nadal] were ranked one and two and two and one for a long time, and he was always three or four,'" [Federer said. "Then it changed. He became world No. 1. ... I think it's really become a very nice rivalry. I don't think we have to adjust our games very much. We can just play our game, and then the better man wins.'"
ICYMI In what People magazine calls "the most handsome restaurant venture ever," Nadal is joining pop singer Enrique Iglesias, NBA player Pau Gasol and more in opening the first in a chain of restaurants called Tatel. The first location opens this month in Madrid, with spots in Las Vegas, London and Barcelona to follow. To the surprise of no one, these restos will feature Spanish cuisine. The decor, though: 1920s themed, with occasional spot "performances" from the restaurateurs.
