When Asked About Nadal... Their Answers Say It All
Rafael Nadal won 22 majors, but the numbers aren’t what his rivals talk about. They talk about what it felt like to face him.

This video looks at Nadal from the other side of the net. He read every point and used it against you on the next one. His heavy left-handed topspin had you defending from the first ball, and his refusal to give anything away carried from the coin toss to the final point. A comeback from two sets down in Melbourne, a title in Paris on a numbed foot: no rhythm, no rest, and no way out. This is why the best players of his generation still talk about him the way they do.
