Rafael Nadal: Shirtless Sardinia Vacation!

Rafael Nadal soaks up the sun on a yacht while showing off his rockin’ shirtless physique on Monday (July 9) in Sardinia, Italy.

The 26-year-old tennis star was joined by some pals as they headed into the ocean to do some jet skiing!

Rafael recently had to pull out of a tennis match against Novak Djokovic because of a bout of knee tendonitis.

“I want to apologise to all…but unfortunately we won’t be able to play for the moment that match in Madrid,” Rafael said in a statement to Yahoo. “I was with my doctors on Monday and started already my treatment with the goal to be ready for the London Olympic Games and represent Spain once again.”

Feel better, Rafael!
