Because if there's one thing Rafa needs, it's a little more good luck

Today’s cool photo from the other side of the world presents Rafael Nadal in a pose quite a few of his victims, er, opponents have become familiar with over the years: praying.
Nadal, who begins play this week in the Thailand Open, visited Buddhist monks on a beach and knelt with them in prayer before presenting an offering of food.
Nadal made sure to wear his Nike gear, in case any of the Buddhist monks are interested in upgrading their robes to a sportier model.
It was an interesting setting for Nadal, who touched a few nerves with his post-Wimbledon interview with Sports Illustrated in which he said of his religious beliefs: “I would love to know if God exists. But it’s a very difficult thing for me to believe. I don’t know.” He went on to say that his belief was a private matter.
Nadal will not begin play in the Thailand Open until at least Wednesday.
What's on your mind?
