Massive upset. Rafa lost to Lukas Rosol at Wimbledon. Dude was ranked 100 in the world. Nadal was ranked the same, minus the last two zeros…plus 1. (<—that line was funnier when I thought he was ranked no. 1, not no. 2 to Djokovic). I’m a Federer guy so I love that Rafa lost… in fact, the only thing I like about Rafa is that he looks like a capybara.
Every great animal nickname needs an adversary. Google led me to this photo.
That’s a caiman eating a capybara. I’d never even heard of a caiman before. Not exactly a croc and not exactly a gator…just closely related to both. I love the obscurity of it. As you can see, Lukas Rosol looks identical to one too. Identical.
This, my lobster friends, is how nicknames are born. Lukas Rosol, the Caiman.
