The AfterElton Annual Guide to the Hot Men of Tennis!

It's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it.

It's a proven scientific fact* that tennis players are the hottest athletes in sports, and with the French Open in full swing, and Wimbledon right around the corner, it's time for our (sort of) annual look at the men who provide the talent, skill, and yes, eye candy that keep us coming back.

For this edition, we're going to look at the men in the top twenty of the ATP rankings, and assess their ... attributes, and how well we believe they'll do in the upcoming weeks.

Enjoy the talent on display!

* May not be true.

#1 - Rafael Nadal

Rafael is the undisputed King of Clay, and has won the French Open five of the last six years. His play this week, however, has been shaky, and the scuttlebutt is that he's vulnerable this year. Speaking of butt scuttling, at least he seems to be have stopped that nasty practice. But kudos to him for learning to function at all in society after spending his younger years as the Feral Child in Mad Max.

#2 - Novak Djokovic

As you can see, Novak is licking his lips. Because he's hungry. Hungry for wins! Novak is off to the best start in men's tennis in almost 30 years, and is the co-favorite to win in France (along with Rafa.) His luck will probably run out after that, however, as he's never played especially well on the grass at Wimbledon.
