Refaeli, who apparently never played tennis before the offer to participate in the games, showed the judge, tennis star Serena Williams, that she was more than just a pretty face with moves that even she seemed surprised to have pulled off.

Refaeli and Nadal, who were called "Team Rafa" by the reporters and the audience, took the tournament by storm and won first place.

Other participants included Roger Federer and Maria Sharapova.
