PARIS : Marat Safin described him as having the best touch on the tour and now David Nalbandian aims to employ his exquisite feel for the ball to smother Gustavo Kuerten's hopes of a fourth French Open title. ... "He has very good hands," said Safin after his four set defeat. "He has such a great shot, really great hands." -- Channelnewsasia.com

I feel that with these quotes, he was trying to appeal to my well-known affection for homoeroticism in its varied forms. The hair, the quotes, the ultimate hotness -- see, I'm wise enough to know when somebody's yearning for me.
