I've always wanted to see how a pro and an amateur would match up (no sarcasm). Thanks a bunch!

I was just going to ask the same thing.

Very cool video though. I'm jealous of your buddy Zar...

It's either that the Aeropro Drive was not out when that was shot last year or he did not have the contract with Babolat that he currently has. I remember seeing Nadal play some on the box earlier last year and he had a PD.

Watched some of your video. Great to even just hear the sound of the ball coming off Nadal's racket. Zar looks like he got quiet a workout.

The rallys seem really short. Nadal looks like he was goofing around the alot. That overhead from practically on his knees was pretty funny.

That's a cute video. Thanks for posting it.

Rafa looks quite a bit younger there, doesn't he? It's too bad we don't have similar videos of Moya practicing with Rafa when Rafa was 14. Those would be so cute, too. :D

Rafa's been with Babolat for a few years. He switched to the Aero Pro in January 2004. He used the PD before then. I'm not sure when this video was shot, but I recognize the shirt from old photos. So it was a while ago. ;-)

He was on holiday's in Ibiza, when he saw a tenniscoach training a few guys, and he asked the coach if he could train with him, and the teacher asked him how good he was, and he said that he was pretty good.

So the next day he trained with the coach, and he was impressed by how good he was, and they swapped phone-numbers.

a few weeks later the coach called him up and asked if he wanted to come to mallorca and train (not knowing it was with nadal).

And the next day he was on the court with Nadal
