The freshest Nadal has ever been, fresher than a junior more or less.

 

[6-1 6-3 6-0]

Federer is going to struggle to win games against Nadal at this rate. And Djokovic won't ever have a 2011-like streak against Nadal again.

 

[Goosehead]

hahahahahahaha haaaaa arf arf..dont forget daddies brown sauce

oh yes i almost forgot....VAMOS RAFA.

 

[sureshs]

LOL you would think he could afford a ball hopper instead of a paint bucket.

But then he was always a humble guy

 

[Ms Nadal]

Rafa's on the court practising! Yeah! I am thrilled to see the photos! Going to watch the videos now!

Djokovic has a good current record against Nadal currently, what makes you think that's going to change any?

 

[kalyan4fedever]

at ease, djoker might trouble him a bit. anyway stiff competition from now on again.

Awesome

This made me feel in a better mood all day long

Nadal has re-bridged the mental gap after losing 7 times in a row, and rebounded to beat Djokovic 3 times in a row. Clearly, Djokovic isn't beating Nadal another 7 times in a row.

And also hire ball kids to pick 'em. I also have those 'bucket' types.

Haha! Rafa is just a humble fellow especially at home . One of the reasons why I love him!

I've seen in person Kirilenko use some kind of bucket as well when practicing serve.

 

[sureshs]

Then at least use a sophisticated bucket with Rafa written on it

those tight and thrifty Nadals. How dare they ......:twisted:

 

[lendlmac]

Rafa should be worried about Lukas Rosol!

Rosol was responsbile for a Healthy Nadal to get blown off the court and the face of tennis for ever.....

Lukas Rosol is keepin an eye open for Nadal's return, then take him out again! LOL

 

[sunof tennis]

Federer is going to struggle to win games against Nadal at this rate. And Djokovic won't ever have a 2011-like streak against Nadal again.

So he practices once in 4 months and Novak and Roger should be panicked.
Wow, you do live in a dream world.

It's not really likely, Nadal will not play in challengers.

It's about time he starts practicing again. I am still not totally sold on his comeback until he starts actually playing again. His knees could always go on life support again so I will not get my hopes up about this.

If he only plays half the season every year he should be able to preserve his knees.

Djokovic has lost his last 3 matches to Nadal. C'mon, it is now November 2012, not early 2012.

[sbengte]

Wonder what he's thinking as he watches this?

"God, I wish it were me out there. Can't wait to get back on the practice court as soon as the doc gives the okay!"

Or:

" God, I'm glad that's not me out there. Let Dahveed and the others take the pressure for a change. Me, I'm off for a stroll with Xisca and then maybe a round of golf at the club!"

You choose! ;-)

Watching Spain get Rosol-ed in the DC may not exactly help with his morale :neutral:

 

[beast of mallorca]

This folks just signifies a weak era of trolling, for sure. :twisted:
These are the times when Aphex is badly missed. Where is Aphex when you need him ?

Uncle Toni is joining Rafa in Doha for coaching.
