Rafael Nadal: hit blog compares him to a capybara

A blog comparing Rafael Nadal to a capybara has become an overnight sensation. The postings on the blogging site Tumblr compare nine photographs of the king-size rodent with the world number two. The blog shows an uncanny resemblance between the South American rodent and the former Wimbledon champion, from Majorca, Spain, in a variety of poses. Both are seen snarling and staring, drinking from water bottles and with their heads wrapped in towels. The web page, titled "Capybaras that Look Like Rafael Nadal", has been “volleyed back and forth” across the globe and has so far netted more than 130,000 hits. It was created by Laurie Ainley, 26, a central London-based web developer, as a "quick joke" after watching the Spaniard, 25, playing Roger Federer, 30, in a Wimbledon final. Source: [Telegraph]
