No wonder the world is coming to an end in 2012 ! ! ! ! ! !..Just look at the fan base of Rafael Nadal and you will realize how it is possible..Rafa has actually convinced people he can play tennis i mean it is beautiful..This guy with 0 tennis talent is being praised as one of the greatest tennis player of all time ...Nowadays only pushers like him and the likes of Tsonga get grand-slams..you don't actually have to play aesthetically beautiful tennis with technique.
oh seems like i got the trick....he eats bananas between games and when changing sides and shoot them when on court playing...should've seen this one coming...
@polychronio oh yea i get it...but it went outside the edge of the net what if the net is actually wider and hit the ball so its kinda not acceptable....
@fmpjs a banana shot is the arc of the trajectory curving out and then in regardless of topspin or backspin so by definition the path not the "english" determines whether it's a banana shot ..so it IS a banana shot and you are wrong
Monfils bad footwork on the serve volley.. Watch a Pete Sampras vid and compare the s/v.. Sampras.. 1,2, split-step and bolt to the side to get volleys.. Monfils ran through the s/v --- a big no no! Even if he did split -- would of been a heck of a dig to get that one back!
The result is great but I don't see what's so special about it. Even club players do this, slicing it back and it happens to hit the line. But Nadal probably meant it, so that's good. Still like Federer's beautiful slices more ;-)
This is the best banana slice ever! but i think the best banana shot ever is the one against kohlschreiber this year in australia that was even more sick!!

this is not a banana shot actually. banana's shot = topspin , that one = slice ¬¬

i beg to disagree
the best banana shot by rafa is the one in the verdasco match
not just because of its spin and curvature, but because it was hit after some 20+ shot rally
this is the best banana shot by a slice i've ever seen though
