Is there any sport more raw and primal than Men;s Tennis? (Other than Women;s Tennis, of course.) Two men, skin leathered and browned from hours spent daily in the sun, swinging a racket back and forth, muscles rippling through their sponsored cotton polos that wick away glistening moisture all day long... where was I? Ah yes, tennis... our most primal of sports.Well it really can;t get any more primal than a recent match at the Sony Ericsson Open 2008, between Spanish tennis player Nicolas Almagro and Russian hothead Mikhail Youzhny. When Youzhny ends up losing a fairly long and arduous point, he goes through the usual motions of an over-testosteroned Rusky: Throwing your arms in the air, pumping your fists to the sky, and then slamming your tennis racket into your head until you draw blood.Primal? Yes. Not that primal? The announcers, who compare our Caveman Racqueteer to Vincent Van Gogh.Bonus: Keep your eyes peeled for Corbin Bernsen!
