The ATP players, meanwhile, seem to be on some kind of dare which involves them posting semi-naked pictures and videos of them in the Roland Garros locker-room ice bath. Warning: NESFW! (Not Entirely Safe For Work)
The trend started with Blaz Kavcic, after his 6-2 6-2 6-2 win over James Duckworth in the first round of the French Open.
It was easier to play for 2h than to be in this cold water for 8min...;) i am very happy with my game!!!vamoo twitter.com/blaz_kavcic/st…

It continued with - how not - Fabio Fognini, after his 6-2 7-6(3) 2-6 6-1 win over Lukas Rosol (denying a possible Nadal-Rosol rematch). The pic was posted by Marc Boada, Fognini's physio.

The best bromance on the ATP tour wasn't far behind - Benoit Paire and Stanislas Wawrinka posted ice bath pics of one another (though much more covered, to the chagrin of many).
Le coach Lio doit forcer @benoitpaire a rentrer dans le bain froid... C est ça la Team! Hahahahah twitter.com/stanwawrinka/s…

And finally, the cherry on top - a video! For his Eurosport segment "Tipsy Time", Janko Tipsarevic filmed Viktor Troicki getting into the ice bath, with a guest appearance by Novak Djokovic.
The only question left to ask... who's next?
June 3 UPDATE: Well, apparently the next one is Nicolas Mahut! He gives us two photos for our consideration.
Pour faire taire les rumeurs...😉 @stanwawrinka twitter.com/nmahut/status/…
