with the beijing games about to start next month, tennis celebrates the olympic spirit through a coffee table book aptly titled, journey to beijing. this book contains photos of tennis players donning various attires of other sports. no doubt that rafa, given the chance, would trade his claycourt shoes for a chance to represent spain in soccer, just like his uncle. would roger's hands still be magical if he holds a sword instead of a racket? how about maria's movement... rhytmic nga kaya? ana ivanovic should've worn the sexy beach volleyball attire 'though. the bryan bros might make a good baseball team, while serena had a costume specifically designed for this photo shoot (according to espn.com). novak grew up on serbia's ski slopes, while mario & ivan's croat national team won the world championship in water polo. some of the photos...
