So, partly because there is an absolutely adorable video of Dima on the ATP site and partly because I want to post pics of some of the other players that I like, this is a second picspam...first part will be the Russians-other-than-Marat, XD (because, come on, I don't think anyone on my f-list hasn't seen Marat picsxa gazillion...though if I find a good one I will include it, of course.) Then I put in some Ferru, Lleyton, and a little Hasi. Some random misc. pics at the end too.
So here is the video of Dima talking about his toughest opponents. Earlier this year he had a beard that looked like it had stemmed from a lost bet, but now he is once again all smiley and cute. He seems to have a block when it comes to Kolya, oddly enough.
Okay, stupid media-embedding doesn't always work...:( So here is the link:
http://www.atptennis.com/en/multimedia/default_video.asp?videoid=632I looked for Dmitry pics and the first thing I found was Dima/Igor!!!
Larger version:
And really really small but...THE KISS.
Dmitry and Mikhail...(Davis Cup, of course... the Russian fixation has nothing to do with me wanting to see someone write Russian!orgy fic. Nope. Not at all. Nada. XD)
The 2006 (and 2007, and 2008, and...) Russian Davis Cup team and captain Tarpischev (but unfortunately minues Igor, or he may just be cut off) meet with Boris Yeltsin... mostly I just like to see them in black suits, which is WOAH. (Only Mikhail would pull off a pink-black combination.) Yes, so, if anyone doubted the accuracy of calling the DC team the Russian Mob before...Roflmao!
Igor is SO, unbelievably happy... most likely because this picture was probably taken right after his kiss with Dima...and, oh, yes, small detail about Russia winning Davis Cup. :D
And FREAKING HELL. Dima's website got hacked. o_0 That's not good. I hope they fix it for him. Otherwise we will have to set angry!Kolya and angry!Mischa on them...and we all know what angry!Mischa can do.
It's obviously not possible for me to escape posting Davis Cup photos... Marat is MIA in this one because it's '07 Finals and he just got back from attempting to climb a Himalayan mountain. *Shakes head* Only Marat.
Cute and hot Dima! (Monte Carlo Lovers flashbacks anyone??? )
Oh, one more shirtless DIma pic before moving on...:D
The famous "Youzhny salute". Mischa is just so cute. I think one of the ESPN commentators, right after the Stapenek match at Wimbledon, summed it up pretty nicely: "I don't know why, but I like him."
More cute Mischa. He looks like he's having fun. :)
Unfortunate lack of proper Mischa pics (ie. those with exposed skin XD) but judging from this shot of his back I don't think he has anything to hide... probably just Mischa being shy, as per usual.
Mischa and some form of shouting or fist-clenching is the predominant theme...
Okay, now, mostly for Kris, some Kolya...sleeveless is nice on him.
From his amazing winning run in Miami this year:
And this is just an awesome picture. What can I say? Flying birds has always been a photographic vice. (Seriously. Still photos of moving ojects=not easy.)
Kolya, Roger, and Tommy all in the same shot. It's a little dark, but cute.
Mostly just to post a pic of Nikolay in a suit. I love Masters' Cup photo shoots. I really do.Though Roddick looks...creepy.
AHHH. Okay, I know Nikolay is mostly an, er, acquired taste, but... BLOODY HELL. Giant shirtless pic of Kolya!!!
Because the uncut version doesn't seem to alsways work either, here is a smaller version:
And this is the link to the uncut version, maybe you can see it this way:

http://cornedbeefhash.wordpress.com/2007/12/03/jaime-lequipe/No one can accuse Nikolay of not having nice abs. All other thing aside.
Igor! Yes, yes, I know he shouldn't be so far away from Dima... XD With cute hair and hot chest.
Even miniature size I could resist how?
Igor loves hugs. Yup.
Vampy Igor? XD No, I'm not going to start that again...
Ohhh, tongue. XD (The muscles! The muscles!!)
One last Russian DC pic. I don't know why but people like to cut Igor out. Who knows why Marat is being all broody. It's Marat. We'll never know. It's still darkly attractive. Laughing!Dima, Kolya, and Mischa is adorable though.
Now for some Ferru pics, as he was left out of the Spanish line-up yesterday. Sorry Ferru! *pets* He's so cute.
Here he is with Roger, pictures from Shanghai Masters 08...
Ferru being cute, as per usual.
That picture of Kolya with Djokovic? Ferru proving he can work it too. XD
There really aren't that many Ferrer photo shoots, unfortuantely...but here is one!
Ferru smile! + Hair+Eyes= :D
Makes sense to have some Lleyton after Ferru. Just to me.
Obligatory "Come on!!" pic.
Lleyton in a suit, looking very much the high powered buisness man. Or a spy. Oh, no... *plot bunnies go wild*.
Yes, yes, I know some of you Lleyton does nothing for... but...this pic! Obviously a good angle for him...
This picture kept coming up during Lleyton searches, and I stopped resisting...
And then I need a couple Hasi pics, since those weren't good Hasi pics yesterday...
Tommy, younger for sure, in a suit. Why he is leaning against bakery display I'm not sure...
Obligatory shirtless Hasi pic. It being Hasi.
I'm definitely forgetting someone... and I decided that, really, I only need three Hasi pictures because all his pictures say "HASI IS HOT!". I'm not sure he even has a bad angle. Well, the long hair phase was odd.
Okay, I'm not particularly fond of the Serbian players one way or another- and I'm definitely not big on Djokovic (sorry Novak fans, I will redeem myself in a moment) on most days, but these pictures were too funny to pass up. Evidently last year they had a exhibition match in Serbia, a mixed-doubles match with Novak/Jelena vs. Janko/Ana. They did more fooling around than playing tennis though, by the sounds of it.
Janko looks REALLY into whatever he is doing with the microphone on the right there.
And...I don't even know whats going on in this one. XD I think that's Novak under there. I think.
P.S. Searching for "Youzhny Cute" evidently gets you American Davis Cup slash pic. I've probably seen this in an icon or something, but... not quite sure if Roddick is freaked out or if that's the normal blank look. XD
Last note: cornedbeefhash.wordpress.com most freaking amazing site ever. At least for photots.
Also, I will talk to everyone again probably on Tuesday because I am leaving for a couple of days of vacation tomorrow. :) Visiting Quebec... I really wish the men's tournament was in Montreal so I could have seen a day of play, but Toronto is a bit too far away. :(
