Rafael Nadal will be gracing the pages of Sports Illustrated's annual swimsuit issue.

Ten pictures of Rafa and Refaeli are featured on SI's swimsuit website. The spread was shot in Montreal by famed photographer Walter Iooss Jr.

Judging by the way things have gone for Nadal over the past 13 months, it's only a matter of time before we learn that Novak Djokovic did a 20-shot pictorial with Kate Upton.
