It's been fun posting pics of ya after each of your wins Down Under. But Chilean Fernando Gonzalez shattered Spanish hearthrob Rafael Nadal's Australian Open dreams with a dazzling 6-2 6-4 6-3 victory on Wednesday to reach the semi-finals of a grand slam for the first time.
As a man who loves tennis as well as handsome athletes, all is not lost. The four players remaining in the field are all certifiably hot! Gonzalez (pictured below, left), who I watched beat Marat Safin at the UCLA tourney last summer, is pretty easy on the eyes and an exceptional player.

Then there is Germany's Tommy Haas (pictured above, right) who is as talented as he is good looking. Gonzalez and Haas square off in one semifinal while the other features a coupla good lookin guys you may have heard of: world number one Roger Federer and American Andy Roddick.

As for the women: GO SERENA!!!
