Nadal Swimsuit Pictures at Sports Illustrated Magazine

Spanish tennis superstar and multiple Grand Slam winner Rafael Nadal posed with supermodel Bar Refaeli for swimsuit pictures in the newly release 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit magazine. Nadal apparently enjoyed the photoshoot of his swimsuit pictures. "It was a new experience for me.... I was calm and I enjoyed doing it. Rafaeli was the 2009 cover model and was photographed with Nadal by Walter Iooss Jr. in Montreal, Canada. Nadal swimsuit pictures feature in the model-athlete section of the magazine. It was the second year in a row that the magazine showed tennis related celebrities. Brooklyn Decker, the wife of American tennis star Andy Roddick, was the 2011 cover girl.
