Llorda (l) & Ljubicic (r)
Todays little bit that made me smile and got my imagination running was this little bit that made the Jock Talk section of Outsports.com :
Locker Room Surprise: The last time we saw French tennis player Michael Llorda it was on TV at the Australian Open, where he was changing between sets (pictured right), revealing a lean, tight body and leaving little to the imagination. So this following story is probably not a surprise: Two weeks ago, at the Nasdaq-100 in Miami, Croatia's Ivan Ljubicic opened his locker and found a naked Llorda awaiting him. Thanks to the BBC, which provided this blow-by-blow description:
Ljubicic: "I saw the door slightly open, so I went to open it and then, shock, complete shock--there was Michael Llodra, naked in my locker!
"He was looking at me, I was looking at him. I said, 'What the hell are you doing here?'
"He said: 'I'm trying to focus for my match.'
"I said: 'It's 10 to 10--you're playing at 10 o'clock!'
"He replied: 'I'm trying to get positive energy from you. You're winning a lot of matches this year'."
Ljubicic went on to win his match that day, and he obviously gave Llorda enough energy that he won his doubles match.
Llorda stands 6'3" and Ljubicic was impressed that he fit in the locker. "The locker, it's not a big locker, it's a small locker. It's not easy to get in that locker, I'm telling you," said Ljubicic.
"He is not a small guy but very flexible. Very, very flexible."
How come this never happens to us when we hit the lockers?
Kind of reminds me of the NYU Lockerroom of late. Don't ask. And get your minds out of the gutter.
