Rafael Nadal hasn’t been his typical perfect self lately, but thank god he didn’t make any mistake on this play. Nadal and his opponent are having a fantastic back and forth when all of a sudden Rafa finds himself out of position with only one way to return the ball. Since he’s a true gamer, he wasn’t going to be denied. That’s why he risked everything by hitting the ball within inches of his balls.
In case you’re a loser virgin who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, Nadal had to hit the tennis ball between his legs. Just watch the damn video and enjoy!
Rafael Nadal managed to do what just a few people have ever done in Tennis, he completed the Career Grand slam on Monday winning the U.S. Open for his first time over Novak Djokovic, 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, 6-2.
“I think for the first time in my career I played a very, very good match in this tournament,” Nadal said afterwords. “That’s my feeling. I played my best match in the U.S. Open out there at the most important moment.”
Now that Rafa has jumped over this hurdle the only question left for debate is when should he be mentioned with the greatest Tennis players of all time. At only 23 years old he should continue his dominance for a few year. If he continues to play as good as he currently it’ll only be a matter of time before people begin calling him the greatest to ever play the game.
Rafael Nadal is on the verge of taking away Roger Federer’s “King of Tennis” crown after winning his Eighth Grand Slam on Sunday morning over Tomas Berdych,6-3, 7-5, 6-4, at Wimbledon.
When Nadal was what he thought about being listed with some of the all-time tennis greats, he stayed classy and explained it was just a real honor to have his name mentioned with some of the best to ever play.
“I’m very proud to be alongside those great players,” Nadal said. “My career is much better than I could have imagined when I began playing.”
Even though it seems like he’s been around for awhile, Rafael Nadal is only 23 years old which means he has plenty of time to catch up with Federer. Give it two more years and he could be recognized as the best player ever, not Federer.
Rafael Nadal destroyed Robin Soderling on Sunday morning to win the French Open and become the #1 male tennis player in the world.
“I lost last year because I was not well-prepared, and I had very low morale last year, as well,” Nadal Said. “But this time, I’m back,” said Nadal. “I’m back — and I win.”
With Roger Federer obviously past his prime and just a shell of his former self, Nadal has a chance to be the best tennis player in the world for the next 5 years. But for that to happen he has to stay healthy, and he has had a very tough time doing that recently.
Rafael Nadal’s 31-match win streak ended on Sunday when he was upset by Robin Soderling of Sweden 6-2, 6-7 (2), 6-4, 7-6 (2) in the fourth round of the French Open.
