Nadal is James Dean to Federer's Cary Grant. With his shoulder-length hair, garish Capri pants (he will ditch them for the Open, he promises), sleeveless shirts that show off biceps that bulge like the Pyrenees, and hit-and-grunt technique, Nadal is the loudest player on tour.

It's a can't-beat-'em-join-'em strategy: The practically invisible Logitech StreamPoint simply tells the iTunes and Windows Media Player software what songs to play.
