If you like Rafa Nadal and you like Capybaras then this is about to be your favourite thing ever.
Nadal kicked off his Wimbledon campaign this week with a straight sets victory over Thomaz Bellucci, advancing into a second-round clash with Germany’s Dustin Brown to be played on centre court this evening.
But we don’t really care about that, do we? You haven’t clicked on this link to find out actual information about tennis, you want Nadal. You want Capybaras. You want pictures of Nadal looking like a Capybara.
Well here it comes…
Pumped Nadal
Thoughtful Nadal
Post-shower Nadal
Thirsty Nadal
Because you’re worth it Nadal
Romantic Nadal
Clean Nadal
Angry Nadal
All credit for this truly wonderful discovery goes to Londener Laurie Ainley, whose blog ‘Capybaras that Look Like Rafael Nadal’ became my favourite thing, ever.
Laurie told The Daily Telegraph that he set the blog up as a ‘quick joke’ purely because he spent ‘a sunny Saturday afternoon down Bristol zoo watching various mammals munch on bananas and rearrange their genitals’ – a quote almost as great as the above images, if I’m being honest.
‘I came across it randomly but I noticed a striking similarity between Nadal and the Capybara,’ he said.
‘It was too strong to ignore.’
Too right! You’re my new hero, Laurie!
